My Summary
About Me
With over seven years of experience working with children of all ages, I tailor my care to meet each family’s needs, helping create a consistent, nurturing environment that supports both the baby’s development and parents’ confidence.
To help me provide the best support for you and your baby, it’s useful to think about the kind of routine and care you’d like. Some things to consider include:
* Your preferred feeding approach – structured, flexible, or on-demand
* The daily routine you would like for your baby
* Whether you would like guidance or support with sleep training
* Who you would like to handle night-time feeds, nappy changes, and settling
* Your expectations of me as your maternity nurse or night nanny
* Any specific beliefs or preferences regarding sleeping, feeding, controlled crying, or how to respond to crying
* Whether your baby will sleep in the same room as me
* How you would like the baby to be fed
* By discussing these in advance, I can tailor my care to meet your family’s needs, helping create a consistent, nurturing environment that supports both your baby’s development and your confidence as parents.

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.
