My Summary

Newborn Care Specialist, Night Nanny And Nhs Midwife Providing Personalised Support For Families 💕

My Experience

I have 10 years of nannying experience and 10 years of night nannying experience, supporting families with children from newborns through to their teenage years. My experience includes caring for singleton babies, twins and triplets, providing both daytime and overnight support to suit each family’s individual needs.

Throughout my nannying career, I have undertaken a variety of full-time, part-time, ad hoc and overnight positions, working in both sole-charge and shared-care arrangements. I understand the importance of building trusting relationships with both children and parents, providing consistent, nurturing care while creating a safe, stimulating and supportive environment for children to learn, grow and thrive.

My experience extends beyond meeting children’s everyday needs. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities, supporting learning and development, establishing gentle routines, preparing nutritious meals and working collaboratively with parents, schools, nurseries and other professionals involved in a child’s care.

Alongside my nannying career, I have worked as an NHS midwife for 6.5 years. This has further strengthened my knowledge and understanding of newborn care, feeding, the postnatal period and the transition into parenthood. Combining my midwifery background with my extensive practical experience as a nanny and night nanny allows me to offer families knowledgeable, compassionate and individualised support during what can be a very special, but sometimes overwhelming, time.

Over the years, I have built wonderful relationships with the families I support, and I feel incredibly lucky to have been welcomed into their homes during such important stages of family life.
