Barbaras
Maternity Nurse in London
My Summary
About Me
Hello, My Name is Barbara and I am a NEST qualified maternity nurse from London. I am a highly experienced maternity nurse/ night nanny with over six years of professional experience, specialising in single and multiple births. It's a role that I thoroughly enjoy, and was spearheaded into taking professionally after I had my last set of children (six in total, twins who were born prematurely at 28 weeks. It helps me to be able to empathise with new mothers who have newborns because mentally and physically I have an understanding of what mother, baby, as well as the whole family may be experiencing. Not only that, sometimes it can be daunting, nerve wrecking when it is your first time, or maybe you took a break, or maybe every now and then, you need a break. Whatever the circumstances I strive to give a reliable, trustworthy service, giving parents peace of mind. I endeavour to aid and assist to the needs of baby and family providing a calm, peaceful and stimulating environment, where babies can thrive. As already mentioned I am also qualified, although I am highly experienced with my own babies and other peoples babies, I wanted to go to school, to get a more rounded maternity nurse education, broadening my knowledge.
No matter if it is your first time or your fourth time, every baby is different, and experience can be different, but my quality of care will always be outstanding.
