Little Home Learners

My Summary

My Experience

Charlotte Shefras | Registered Nurse (PgDip) | BA (Hons) Applied Education Studies
With a unique background spanning both healthcare and education, I bring a level of safety and developmental insight rarely found in a home setting.
My career began in education as a Senior Teaching Assistant in a Special Needs school (4 years), where I utilised my degree in Applied Education Studies to support complex learning needs. I later retrained as a nurse, gaining experience in high-pressure environments including Major Trauma, Palliative Care and School Nursing.

What this means for you:
- Medical Safety: From allergies to bumps and scrapes, my background in Major Trauma and School Nursing means your child is in the safest possible hands.
- Developmental Focus: SEN and education background allows me to spot developmental milestones early and tailor activities to your child’s specific learning style.

Natasha Shefras | Level 3 NVQ Childcare and Early Years Education
With a rich blend of personal and professional experience, I bring a calm confidence that comes from living this world every day. That lived experience strengthens everything I do in my professional practice. Across my 16 year nursery career, I’ve supported children from babies through to preschoolers. My knowledge of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) influences my ability to create safe, engaging, and developmentally rich spaces.

What this means for you:
- Practical Expertise: Years of nursery experience means I confidently support children through every stage - from sensory exploration to early literacy and school readiness skills.
- Play With Purpose: My speciality is in creating messy, imaginative, and educational play environments that spark curiosity, whilst building the foundations children need to thrive.
