My daughter had been with Shamim for more than three years, almost five days a week. Two of my friends recommended her, that was how I knew her. She is very responsible and trustworthy. Shamim is not only a childminder for my daughter, but she is like a family. All the words would not be enough to describe how good and caring she is.

To describe my experience with Shamim, away from my respectful feeling for her, Shamim is a trustworthy person. I know the biggest trust is that I trust her with my daughter, but I also trust her with other private information like my family’s private info or even my home address. When my daughter went to Shamim, she was always happy for being there. When my daughter saw Shamim every morning, she always run to hug her. This strong bond with Shamim made me feel very comfortable and happy because of the happiness that I saw in my daughter’s eyes. Now, after leaving Shamim, my daughter always remembers her. My daughter now is in a school, and she always asked to go to Shamim rather than the school. All these behaviours are signs of a loving relationship and show how kind and caring she was.


She is also an interactive and communicative person. When she took care of my daughter, she always sent pictures of my daughter during activities that they had done that day. She also talked to me about my daughter and addressing any issues related to my daughter, like her diet or sleeping issues. She carried out fun and exciting activities, including painting, playing with dough, cooking and reading. She also took my daughter regularly to the playground, playgroup, or Mother and toddler groups where my daughter had an opportunity to interact with other children and did different activities with them. She also took her for lots of walks and also to Jam Jam (indoor play place). All these activities were useful for my daughter’s development intellectually and socially.


Shamim is very flexible in scheduling. My daughter was arriving at the time that was suitable for me, and she did not show any inconvenient feelings. She was also willing to help out even late at night when I was busy and needed some help. She never complained or asked for a higher payment. She only asked for the hours that she took care of my daughter.

A good thing about Shamim is she is very clean, the place and also my daughter. During the activities, she dressed my daughter painting apron to keep her clean while having lots of messy play fun. I mention this here because I compare my experience with Shamim to the school that my daughter is attending now. In this school, my daughter’s clothes are always very dirty and full of painting spots. But when my daughter was with Shamim, she was always clean and her clothes without paint stains. I must give Shamim credit for that.


Now, my daughter is not with Shamim, but Shamim is still contacting me asking about her. She also visits me on different occasions to see my daughter and bring gifts, not only for my daughter, but also for her siblings. Very kind! She is perfect that I cannot recommend highly enough.
