Maternity Nurse in Cotswold (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
Hello I'm Rachel, I have worked with children/ babies for 20 years now, and I have three of my own.
I worked as a community maternity support worker for 8 years within the NHS. I gained a lot of experience during my role and only left due to wanting to concentrate on supporting families 1 on 1 during their time as new parents.
I am very experienced in post and antenatal Natal care, breastfeeding support, supporting the family and offering my knowledge, guidance and help in postnatal care.
I can be there to answer questions, phone calls and to do daily visits inbetween your midwife appointments postnatally if this is what is needed.
I offer over night care also so you can get your much needed rest. During this I will care for baby, drowned to house work if needed, start the process of a ‘sleep routine’ and offer care and support.
I’m happy to answer any questions.
And look forward to hearing from you.
