I've been a Nurse for over 35years, predominantly working within the NHS, actually starting my career in Hillside hospital, the site that Kingfisher Care Home now stands. My interest has always been care of the elderly, dementia, either at home within the community or in a hospital. I have extensive experience within Tayside's palliative care services. My ethos is always to deliver care as I would expect for my family. I look forward to providing excellent nursing standards and working alongside my colleagues.

Hello, I’m Nazifa — thank you for taking a moment to get to know me. I’ve always been drawn to people, their stories, and the little things that make a big difference in someone’s day.

My journey into wellbeing and activities began when I worked as a carer for four years. It was during that time I realised how much I loved making someone’s day a little brighter — those small moments of joy and comfort that mean so much.

More recently, I’ve worked with Home Start, first attending a nurture group for mums facing mental health and wellbeing challenges, and later becoming a peer supporter myself. In this role, I helped others by sharing mindfulness techniques through movement and creativity. I cherished the opportunity to support, listen, and walk beside others. The experience taught me a great deal and strengthened my commitment and passion for supporting people’s wellbeing in meaningful ways through creativity and connections.

Creativity is also an important part of my life; I hold a Master of Arts in Spatial Design. For me, creativity isn’t just about design, but about how spaces, experiences, and relationships help people feel stronger and more uplifted.

When I discovered this new opportunity, I felt genuinely excited about the meaningful moments I could share with residents. I truly believe every person’s story is valuable, and I look forward to bringing my care background, creativity, and sense of community into making each day here memorable and special.
