About me
I am a highly experienced and qualified childcare practitioner with 30 years of experience working with children. I am a bubbly, fun, and creative person who brings warmth and energy into every settings. I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can thrive emotionally, socially, and academically. My approach combines patience, responsibility, and enthusiasm, ensuring each child feels valued and supported. I am reliable, have excellent time-keeping skills, and communicate effectively with both children and parents to maintain strong, trusting relationships. I particularly enjoy engaging children in imaginative play and educational activities that support their development while making learning fun, and I always prioritise their safety and well-being at all times. I hold British Sign Language (BSL) Level 1 and 2 qualifications, which allows me to communicate inclusively and support a wider range of children.
References for Shana
She works alongside me currently and I have known her for many years. In the past, she was supporting a deaf child initially. She used to support deaf children in a nursery, and after that nursery closed, I asked her to apply for a role here at Tower Hamlets in the learning advisory service. Shana is amazing - fantastic, I was really happy that she joined our service. She is always trustworthy and reliable. A parent would be incredibly lucky to have her with their children. She's brilliant with parents and children alike - she's intuitive and thoughtful.Judy G
Currently, she is a parent support worker, and I've known Shana for at least ten years as a work colleague. Shana is just extremely conscientious, enjoys working with children and is very professional. In all aspects, she is a real credit to the team (teachers of the deaf). I cannot fault Shana, and she is always willing to take on new things. Her relationship with all of the families and all the children is excellent. Shana comes into the nursery school twice a week, has strong BSL skills and very skilled with early communication and complex needs. She is really independent and capable.Alison W

Sarah A, guest at Como the Halkin hotel
KidSitter parent since Apr 2023"We had the pleasure of having Shana look after our child, and she exceeded all expectations. She was punctual, confident, and incredibly patient, while keeping our child engaged with a variety of fun and stimulating activities. She struck the perfect balance of being warm and nurturing, yet firm when needed. From the very first day, our child connected with her and continued asking about her every single day during the six days she was with us. She made us feel comfortable and at ease, like part of her own family. I highly recommend her to any family looking for a reliable and exceptional babysitter."
Guest at Raffles London
KidSitter parent since Jun 2025"We had a wonderful experience with Shana as our babysitter. From the moment she arrived, she was professional, warm, and incredibly attentive. It was immediately clear that she has a wealth of experience — she knew exactly how to engage with our daughter in a calm, caring, and playful way that made us and our daughter feel completely at ease. Shana was not only nurturing and considerate, but also very thoughtful in how she communicated with us as parents. She paid close attention to our routines and preferences, and handled everything with a level of care and confidence that truly stood out. We’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave our little one. Shana is everything you’d hope for in a babysitter — reliable, kind, and genuinely passionate about working with children. Highly recommended!"

Our children connected with her right away. She was very calm, kind and patient with them. She put us at complete ease and we wouid be happy to recommend her services."

KidSitter parent since Nov 2017"Shana is very kind and reliable. My daughter is extremely shy with new people, but she was very happy having Shana look after her. Shana followed all instructions and made sure my little one was happy and tucked in bed when I got home. I would have no hesitation booking her again. Highly recommend!"
