Yes, but I guess I don't get why someone would need a nurse past childhood and why Devorah is such an important figure that her name and death are mentioned in the Torah.
We don't see any other figure in Tanach (that I can think of) who had a nurse that stayed with them past childhood. Correct me if I'm wrong. But this always niggles at me.
