Mandeep has looked after my 6 year old daughter for the past couple of months, I initially found it quite difficult the idea of using a childminder (esp as my child can be quite challenging)- However Mandeep has made this transition easier, by being patient, kind and importantly she has been very understanding as I am a Nursing student my timetable often changes and when I am on duty I finish late not getting back until 9pm.
Mandeep makes every effort to ensure my child feels comfortable, she encourages play through different activities including colouring/cutting/sticking -making creative objects with the children.
She takes them out, allowing them to explore outside - so important at the moment !
Most recently she made my daughter her traditional food and she ate it, this is a massive achievement as my child is a fussy eater.
This for me is a personal extra as it teaches my daughter about different cultures and adds on to her knowledge of understanding the world.
Mandeep understands that I am a little apprehensive with the uncertainties at the moment, so much so that she makes effort to message me and sends me videos of my child having fun, so I can see on my breaks that she is perfectly fine.
I appreciate the support and help from Mandeep and would highly recommend her to anyone thinking of using a childminder.
I started my degree last year and with the pandemic was stuck for childcare, Mandeep has really been a huge help and I am unsure if I would have been able to continue without her.
Please feel free to inbox me if you have any further questions as a parent I am happy to answer them : )
