My Summary
About Me
Hello, I'm Ella, I am a neonatal special care nurse from Brighton. I have over 10 years experience in child care with 5+ years within neonatal care.
As a neonatal nurse I have experience with premature babies, newborns and multiples and I am part of a specialist infant feeding team where i specialise in breast feeding, bottle feeding and lactation support. I have extensive experience with reflux and colic and infants with additional needs including trisomy 21. I am experienced with working with new parents and supporting them in how to look after and care for a newborn including nappies, feeding, newborn rashes, skin care, dressing and bathing. I have over 10 years experience as a live in and live out nanny so i am also happy to help with duties around the house such as washing, cleaning and cooking.
As well as infant feeding and nutrition one of my passions is in neurological development of newborns where i have worked closely with SALT and Physio in order to promote good sensory and neurological development.
I am a caring, compassionate, adaptable, warm individual and i am looking to help support a lovely family with their newborn.

I am also available for tutoring if applicable, please message for additional information on experience.
