Maternity Nurse in Aylesham (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
Hi there, thanks for stopping by! ??
I’m a midwife and mum with over 8 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns right through to teenagers.
Alongside my midwifery experience, I’ve worked as a nanny, maternity assistant and babysitter, giving me a broad range of experience supporting families through different stages.
I’m confident with everything from newborn care, feeding and settling to first aid, CPR and supporting children with additional needs.
As a parent myself, I understand how special — and sometimes overwhelming — those early days can be. My aim is to provide calm, practical and reassuring support, tailored to your family and what you actually need.
I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your little one, so I’m always happy to arrange a friendly introductory meet beforehand.
This is a chance for us to get to know each other, discuss your needs/preferences and see whether I’m the right fit for you and your family. ?
My Experience
I’m a Registered Midwife with extensive experience supporting women, birthing people and families across a variety of roles. I’ve cared for families with multiple babies, premature babies, and little ones who have spent time in neonatal or special care.
I can support with breast, bottle and mixed feeding, nappy changes, weaning and preparing meals for babies, as well as age-appropriate stimulation and play — from singing, reading and tummy time to baby groups and getting out and about.
My support isn’t just practical.
I understand how much the transition from pregnancy to parenthood can bring, and I’m there to offer calm, reassuring support when it’s needed most. I work at each family’s pace, helping parents recognise their baby’s cues, build their confidence and find their own rhythm.
For older children, I can support with early learning, reading, counting, educational games and songs, alongside outdoor play, adventures and nursery drop-offs and pick-ups.
I’m also available for babysitting with at least 48 hours’ notice, giving parents the opportunity to have some well-deserved time for themselves, knowing their little ones are in safe and experienced hands.

• BSc (Hons) Midwifery
• Paediatric First Aid (updated annually)
• Newborn Infant Physical Examination (updated annually)
• Child Development
• Health and Safety in the Early Years

I want my childcare to be as accessible as possible while still reflecting my experience and the level of care I provide.

Reduced rates start from £16 per hour for standard care and £18 per hour for holiday care, depending on circumstances.

Savannah is so great with my baby.
He immediately felt at ease with her, which put me at ease. I know if I have to go for several hours he is always in safe hands and is always happy to see her.
She is just a natural and really knows what she’s doing. :)

Savannah has been helping me with my two daughters so that I can facilitate swimming with them. It's quite a specific session and I'm lucky Savannah supports us for such a specific and short time.
Savannah handles both my girls needs well. My nearly 4 year old requires someone to listen to her and interact with her in her imaginative play. Savannah listens to her and allows her to be as independent as she wants to be.
My one year old does give Savannah a hard time. But Savannah is professional and calm and handles her so well.
Savannah is polite and easy to talk to. Her communication is great.
Thank you for facilitating our swimming sessions!

I've had great experience with Savannah, who is looking after our baby since she was 8 weeks old. Savannah is caring and gentle with the baby and efficient with baby-related tasks. I also value her knowledge as a student midwife and experience as a mother herself. I have no doubt that she will make a fantastic midwife! I highly recommend her for nanny and babysitting jobs.
