My Summary
About Me
Advanced Level 4 Maternity Nanny Exclusive Daytime Postnatal Care
I am an accomplished, nurturing professional nanny of 14 years with extensive experience in private households, currently undertaking the Advanced Babyem OCN Level 4 Maternity Nurse Training.
I specialise in providing premium, nurturing daytime postnatal care and maternity support for families welcoming a newborn.
Bringing a new baby home is a beautiful but overwhelming transition. My goal is to step into your home during the day to provide hands-on, expert guidance so you can rest, recover, and enjoy those precious early weeks.
Many families find that nights are manageable, but the isolated daytime hours can be a real struggle, particularly for:
• Parents whose partners are returning to work
• Single parents navigating the early weeks solo
• Families with no close network or family support nearby
My goal is to step into your home during the day to give you a complete breather.
How I support you during the day:
Maternal Recovery:
Caring for your baby so you can catch up on essential sleep, shower, rest, or simply have some time to yourself. Postnatal emotional support and light logistical help to keep your home running smoothly.
Feeding & Foundations:
Practical support & gentle guidance with establishing comfortable breast feeding positions, responsive feeding, safe formula preparation, bottle-feeding pacing, and establishing healthy daytime nap windows.
Infant Comfort:
Gentle guidance on newborn sleep hygiene, settling techniques,
and troubleshooting common early hurdles like wind, colic, and reflux.
Because I bring a unique blend of years of trusted professional private nanny experience and Advanced Level 4 Newborn Training, you get the perfect blend of the highest standard of safety and specialist knowledge and practical family support, without the pressure of a 24-hour live-in nurse.
I am strictly available for daytime bookings, Monday - Friday, from the New Year 2027. As I'm currently permanently employed looking after two infants, I will need to give 4 weeks notice for new bookings.
I am fully insured, hold an enhanced DBS, and have Paediatric First Aid Training.
Please feel free to get in touch to discuss how I can support your family during your fourth trimester!
