My Summary
About Me
I've been supporting families for over five years, from pregnancy to preschool. I am a birth and postnatal doula, antenatal teacher, infant feeding consultant, nanny, and run a non-profit parenting space called The Nest Holmfirth CIC - I spend a lot of my time with ages 0-5! I am confident and comfortable looking after little ones. I used to teach Sing and Sign and am a practitioner of gentle parenting techniques. My own daughter is now at primary school.
*Nannying and Mothers Help*
Due to studying and other client commitments, I am available for a regular maximum of 8 hours per week (additional hours can be planned on an ad-hoc basis). I offer childcare in your home and trips out within walking distance (I am not insured to drive children in my own car, but I do have a full clean driving license and am happy to be insured temporarily on other cars). I have a particular love of supporting families with children under 1, but I have lots of experience with all ages under 5.
*Birth and Postnatal Doula*
I offer nurturing, experienced birth doula care for you as you navigate your pregnancy and birth choices. I can support you whether you are birthing at home, or in a medical setting, and have experience of every type of birth you can imagine! I tailor my support to fit with your family's needs, so drop me a message and we can explore this together.
Postnatal doula care is offered from birth for as long as you need it. This is primarily to support the mother - offering support and help with breast or bottle feeding, emotional support to mum and the wider family unit, tips and guidance with practical baby care, holding the baby while the parents sleep and wash! It is my privilege to support you at such a vulnerable (and rollercoaster!) time.
My Experience
I am a qualified and experienced doula with birth and postnatal experience. I am an infant feeding consultant, trained in baby signing, and have an enhanced DBS and paediatric first-aid qualification. I'm Managing Director of The Nest Holmfirth (a non-profit parenting space) and have a wealth of experience of entertaining and looking after under 5's. I am trained in baby signing, infant feeding and introducing solids.
