Teacher
Hi! I’m Shauna, a caring, patient, and reliable childcare professional with experience supporting children from babies and toddlers through to teenagers. I currently work as a Teaching Assistant in London schools, supporting children with a range of needs, including Autism, ADHD, and other Special Educational Needs (SEN). I’ve also worked as a Summer Camp Leader and regularly cared for younger family members.
I hold an Enhanced DBS check and am happy to prepare meals and snacks, help with homework, follow bedtime routines, and create fun, engaging activities. I’m a child-focused caregiver who believes children learn best through play, creativity, and exploration. I enjoy encouraging their imagination through storytelling, games, puzzles, singing, arts and crafts, and other age-appropriate activities that help build confidence, problem-solving skills, and creativity while making learning fun.
I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, so I always provide a safe, nurturing, and positive environment where children feel happy, supported, and valued. My goal is to give parents complete peace of mind while ensuring every child is well cared for, has fun, and enjoys their time with me.

Shauna is lovely and I would like to book her in again. I had planned to work with my middle child as I am tutoring him but in his hour break he wanted to hang out with his brother and Shauna which is lovely.
