My Summary

My Experience

I am a qualified midwife with extensive experience supporting women, birthing people, and families. I’ve cared for those with multiple babies, pre-term babies, and little ones who have spent time in neonatal or special care units.

I can help with feeding (breast, bottle, or mixed), nappy changes, preparing meals for weaning-age babies, stimulation and play (singing, reading, tummy time, baby groups, etc.), as well as offering emotional support when it’s needed most.

I’m deeply passionate about supporting mums — so much so that I’ve founded my own company dedicated to empowering and caring for mothers. I know how intense the shift from pregnancy to parenthood can be, so I always go at the parents’ pace: gently guiding them with baby cues, building their confidence, and helping them navigate the changes.

For older children, I can support with early education (reading, counting, learning games, songs), outdoor play and adventures, and nursery drop-offs/pick-ups.

I’m also available for babysitting (with at least 48 hours’ notice) if parents want some well-deserved time for themselves.

My Fees

• Babysitting from £20.00 per hour
• Maternity Nursing from £18.00 per hour (gross)

I would like my care to be as accessible as possible, while still reflecting my experience. If you’re a single-parent household, a key worker, or feel you’d benefit from extra support but are limited in finances, I’m always happy to chat about reducing my standard rate (down to £18/hr for sits over 4 hours, £20/hr for sits under 4 hours).
Please don’t feel awkward about mentioning your circumstances so an agreement can be reached. ?

My Standard Rates:
• £25/hr for shorter sits (under 4 hours)
• £20/hr for longer sits (over 4 hours)
• Overnight (12am–6am): £70 flat

Travel Costs:
• 35–70 miles: £0.20/mi (return)
• 70+ miles: £0.45/mi (return)

Emergency Bookings:
• If booked with less than 48 hours’ notice, there’s usually a £20 fee. I do sometimes waive this if we’ve spoken beforehand.

Payment:
• By bank transfer within 8 hours of the sit, or in cash at the end of the sit.
