Marta joined our family as a maternity nurse when our twins were born in July 2016. We had initially booked her for 6 weeks. However, she ended up supporting us in variable capacity until the twins turned 8 months old. We experienced a range of challenges when the twins were born – one of the twins experienced hypoglycaemia when born and had to be on a strict feeding schedule, both twins had tongue-tie that went undetected when they were born, thus breastfeeding was a struggle, both babies experienced reflux and I was recovering from a Cesarian. Marta took all these challenges in her stride and settled the twins into a nice routine in a matter of weeks.

Marta was great in helping us as two new parents to gain confidence with our two; and her experience and organisation ensured that the transition to a family of four happened smoothly. Throughout our time with Marta and her day by day coaching we started to really enjoy feeling more informed, familiar and best placed to understand the various signs, noises, and patterns in our little ones’ existence. We also got some great tips on products to use and tried them with lasting success. It is not always easy taking a ‘stranger’ into one’s home, but Marta is such easy company, and so calm, reassuring and genuine, that it never really felt like that. It was not only very helpful, but also a pleasure to spend time with her.

We can’t think of anyone more helpful and reassuring to have advising and helping new parents along the way.
