Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

My name is Shanaaz and I am 45 years old. My passion is taking care of children and helping them develop to their full potential.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I am a trustworthy, reliable, calm, patient and kind person. I have a solid knowledge base of developmental play across the preschool years of 5 months to 5 year Olds. Children thrive in my care. My first aid knowledge is excellent. I have been working with children for more than 16 years of ages 1 month to 12 year Olds.

Hobbies and other interests

Reading and listening to music.
