My Summary
About Me
In my six years as a professional childcare, I have cared for children from newborns to 17-year-olds, with a strong focus on their educational and developmental growth. I encourage piano playing and chess to foster creativity, cognitive development, strategic thinking, and problem-solving skills. Alongside supporting children’s learning, I bring excellent organisational and administrative skills, including multi-tasking, schedule and appointment management, travel planning, and digital calendar coordination, all with keen attention to detail. I also provide homework and study support, plan engaging activities and events, and coordinate educational opportunities, ensuring a well-rounded and stimulating environment for each child’s growth.
I am a dedicated and qualified Maternity Nurse (Level 4) with a strong focus on early childhood development and wellbeing. I have completed specialised training in Neuroscience in Early Years at West Lancashire College, OCN Level 3 Sleep Well, and Developing Positive Behaviour Management, giving me a thorough understanding of children’s developmental needs and behavioural guidance. I am also certified in Child Safeguarding (Levels 2 and 3), Safer Eating in Early Years, and Full Paediatric First Aid, ensuring the highest standards of safety and care. Passionate about supporting families and nurturing children’s growth, I combine professional expertise with a compassionate and attentive approach to caregiving.

We worked with Zehra, in her role as a night nurse. Zehra was consistently professional and punctual, and her positive, reassuring manner immediately put us at ease as new parents. As someone who values planning ahead, I truly appreciated her willingness to commit to longer-term arrangements, as well as her flexibility when plans naturally shifted. She integrated seamlessly into our home thanks to her proactive, friendly approach. Zehra generously shared her extensive newborn experience whenever needed, while always respecting and supporting our individual preferences and routines. She was an invaluable support during those early weeks, giving us restful nights and the chance to properly recharge. I would highly recommend her without hesitation.

Hello Amaya, it was really pleasure to work with you! Thank you so much for great feedback!
We cannot recommend Zehra highly enough. She supported our family two nights a week during the first three months of our daughter Jack’s life and was truly a godsend. From the very first night, her calm, confident, and knowledgeable approach immediately put us at ease. Zehra cared for Jack with incredible gentleness and love, while also teaching my husband and me invaluable techniques around newborn sleep.
Thanks to her guidance and support, Jack was sleeping through the night by the end of our time together—something we never imagined possible so early on. Zehra was consistently punctual, professional, and respectful of our home, yet always warm and reassuring. Her expertise and genuine care made those early weeks far more manageable and enjoyable for our entire family. If you have the opportunity to work with Zehra, don’t hesitate—she is truly exceptional.
