Shekina

Babies Deputy Room Leader

Hello everyone, I’m Shekina. I just joined Monkey Puzzle Greenford. I previously worked in the Uxbridge branch and have become very experienced with children (specifically babies as I have worked in the baby room for almost 4 years). I look forward to building great relationships with the children, the team and parents.

I am level 3 qualified in childcare and have worked in childcare for about 7 years now and have gained experience from working in other settings, babysitting as well as volunteering. During the time I have spent in these settings as well as the time I have spent volunteering, I have enjoyed watching and helping the children grow and develop.

What I enjoy about working with children the most is watching them learn through play and develop new as well as different skills. I also enjoy playing alongside them to support their needs. Lastly, I love planning activities for the children. I enjoy messy and creative play the most.

In my spare time, I enjoy learning new languages as well as about different cultures. I like attending concerts with friends. I also like to relax in my bedroom and play music. I love treating my family to new clothes and lunch whenever we go out.
