My name is Shagufta. I am a hardworking, caring, and passionate individual with a deep love for children and over 12 years of experience in the field. I am currently based in Waterloo and am available for immediate full-time or part-time roles as a Nanny, Mother's Helper, Babysitter, Virtual Babysitter, or Home Daycare Assistant. Having spent over a decade working with the Region of Waterloo Home Child Care, I have come to appreciate the individuality of each child. Therefore, I understand the need to customize care schedules to suit their specific needs. As a proud mother of five intelligent children, three of whom are University of Waterloo graduates, I have been uniquely equipped to nurture children of different ages, from newborns to teenagers. My broad range of experience spans cooking, running errands, grocery shopping, preparing children's meals, helping with homework, observing special dietary rules, ironing children's clothes, maintaining a tidy kitchen, and supervising other household staff. My love for cooking and the time spent preparing meals for my own children have only intensified my passion. I firmly believe that parents know their children best and I always strive to closely collaborate with them to ensure the child's welfare is prioritized. Therefore, I welcome discussions with prospective parents to determine if I would be a good fit for their family. I have first aid as well as CPR certification and I am willing to share these credentials with interested parents. I am available throughout the week, from Monday to Friday, during morning and midday hours. Despite my significant experience, I am always eager to learn and grow. I am committed to providing care in a professional, caring, safe, and efficient manner. I am passionate about cooking meals for my family, spending quality time with them, and going for nature walks. Engaging in these activities cements my love for a wholesome family setting. I look forward to potentially providing your children with comprehensive care while keeping their best interests at heart.
