Sheila77's Reviews

Absolutely excellent

When I found Miss Sheila (lucky she had a opening) I was extremely happy. My final test was whether my baby would feel comfortable. And he did instantly.

Sheila (Nanny) is the best childminder I have had. I have used a few over the years but none compare to Sheila. She is very friendly and personable, professional and reliable. I've never known her to stay in like some minders too. She is always out and about with the children she looks after which I think is amazing as she continues to provide the activities that us parents would love to during the day while you're at work.

My son has matured and learnt so much thanks to sheila, he's at the age where he picks up everything and he has grown into the intelligent young man I knew he would be, thanks to Miss Sheila of course.

I'm devastated that I am taking a break from using her services but as soon as my circumstances change I will quickly get my son wit Sheila again.

Get in touch. You won't regret the decision. X

Caring, qualified and very friendly

I approached Sheila just after Emma was born in July 2012 and Sheila started taking care of Emma in December when she was 5 months old. Sheila is absolutely lovely, caring and she is really patient with children. She listens to their needs and does many activities indoors and outdoors such as painting, reading, singing, mornings at library, afternoons at soft play, walks in the park. I've seen Emma progressing a lot around Sheila in terms of motricity & language and she learned very good manners. Sheila is also fantastic with parents - keeping notes of what Emma is doing during the day and also very flexible in terms of hours (in case of long hours at the office or business trips). Her children are very friendly and kind towards Emma playing with her every morning and evening. Sheila pays attention to health and safety and I've always feel very confident to leave Emma at her place. Really easy to talk to and warm-hearted Sheila is now part of the family. Emma is now 3 and half year old and Sheila is still looking after her during the day. Emma loves Sheila who she calls "Nanny" and always goes to her place with a big smile (and never wants to leave!).

Incredibly competent, lovely and caring

I approached Sheila 5 months ago to care for my child who had just turned one at the time. She was incredibly accommodating to my needs (I needed some flexibility on scheduling which days and frequency). She is professional, reliable, incredible with children, but also very warm and understanding of the demands we have as working parents. She has wonderful sons who are caring and loving towards the toddlers and babies, but this also proves her abilities and empathy as a parent.
My son is now 1 year and a half and has blossomed under her care. He's happy with her and the other two toddlers with her. No complaints from their parents either. She takes the kids out regularly to play groups, parks, libraries and other social events for babies. She keeps them very busy with developmental activities and fun outings.
My son is moving on to a more structured nursery with classes etc in the fall closer to my home, which is why we are leaving the care of Sheila--but if this weren't the case, I would without a doubt continue to use her services as my full time childminder. In fact, she will always be my go-to if I ever need more help.
Please feel free to contact me if you have specific questions or would like a more comprehensive review. My email is tosha.albor@gmail.com and I can give you my number via email.
