My Summary
About Me
Hi! I’m Sebnem, and I live in Fen Ditton, Cambridge, with my lively 5-year-old son. Becoming a mum has deepened my love for spending time with children and supporting their unique ways of exploring the world.
Before moving into childcare, I worked professionally as a finance specialist, but after my son was born, I realised how much joy and purpose I find in being around children and helping them grow with confidence and creativity.
I’ve completed a year of drama training focused on using play and storytelling to build connections with children, and I love bringing music, imaginative games, and laughter into their day. Whether we are creating a small puppet show, exploring nature, or making up stories together, I aim to help children feel seen, safe, and excited about learning.
As a parent myself, I understand how important it is for children to be surrounded by warmth and patience, and I am passionate about giving them a space where they feel truly valued.
Looking forward to meeting the little explorers who cross my path!
My Experience
Nursery Assistant
Muzipo Kids, Istanbul – 2022 to 2024
I worked at a nursery centre in Istanbul where I supported children aged 0–5 in their daily routines. My responsibilities included helping with mealtimes, hygiene, nap time, and creative play activities. I worked closely with the main teachers to maintain a safe and joyful learning environment. This experience strengthened my understanding of early childhood development and the importance of routine and care.
Babysitter (Occasional/Part-Time)
Cambridge, UK – Jan 2024 to Present
Since moving to Cambridge, I have been providing occasional babysitting for local families, mainly for toddlers and pre-school children. I support bedtime routines, prepare simple meals or snacks, and engage children with age-appropriate games and storytelling. I prioritise building trust with both children and parents while ensuring a calm and positive environment.
