Dye was house-sitting for the girl’s foster parents after encouraging them to go on holiday after last June’s tragedy.

The mum, identified as Mrs A, checked her security cameras online and says she saw the community nurse writhing naked with a man.

Mrs A told the Nursing and Midwifery Council: “I felt sick. All of the happy memories we had in that room have been sullied.”

"We would sit in the room cuddling her items, with the memories of her and it was comforting.

"She knew what that room meant to us.

"I thought we could trust her but she's not the person I thought she was."

The little girl suffered from a terminal neurological disorder which made her bones extremely fragile and meant she was unable to go outside.

The couple used their savings to build the sensory room to care for their daughter.

Dye, who cared for the girl in Poling, Sussex, denies romping on her toys.

The hearing continues.
