I have known Shazia for more than 2 years now when I left my 1 year old baby son with her, having to return to work. Shazia has a very gentle touch, an experienced, patient and considerate approach with children. She helped me greatly in separating securely from my baby and cared for him in a most containing way: she always paid attention to his needs while also encouraging him to play and interact with the other children in her care. She ensured that children always participated in varied activities both in her home and local children groups and parks. She always brought smiles on our faces when my son had a bad toddler day and she always helped to ease any tensions among children in a gentle and caring way. I am very grateful for Shazia’s contribution to my son’s up bringing, she and her wonderful family are like our family.
