About Me
I am an experienced Maternity Nurse, Registered Midwife, Newborn Care Specialist, Doula, and Nanny. I have a deep passion for supporting families through the transformative journey of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period. With 7 years of hands-on experience, I provide compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to the unique needs each family requires.
I wholeheartedly believe in the power of community and love to create a warm, supportive village for every family I work with. It truly does take a village to raise a family, and I approach my work with a compassionate, heartwarming personality, always striving to make families feel valued, well-supported, and cared for as they navigate the joys and challenges of parenthood.
My Experience
With my Bsc in Midwifery, I have a deep understanding of maternal and newborn health, which enhances my ability to provide comprehensive and invaluable support. My approach prioritizes creating a nurturing and empowering environment, helping parents build confidence in their new roles while promoting the health and well-being of both the baby and the family as a whole.
In addition to being a doula and a midwife, I have many years of hands-on experience caring for school-aged children, as well as toddlers and young children. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting families with multiple siblings, twins, and triplets which has further deepened my understanding of child development, caregiving, and the importance of ensuring each member of the family receives the support they need.
I also specialize in postpartum recovery, newborn care, family education, and have extensive experience with infant feeding support.
For families who are interested, I offer childbirth education classes to help prepare them for the birthing process and guide them through this exciting journey.
This ensures families feel supported, informed, and cared for during this special time. My professional and empathetic care reflects my commitment to helping families thrive.

We hired Vanessa as a night nanny for a couple of weeks after being discharged from hospital following our daughter’s stay in ICU and her diagnosis of epilepsy at just five weeks old.
She was warm, calm, and deeply kind, while also being highly professional, communicative, and flexible to our needs. She took the time to truly understand our daughter, her medical background, and our routines, and it was clear how safe and comfortable our daughter was with her. She was clean, tidy and respectful of our home too.
Vanessa gave us invaluable peace of mind. Knowing our daughter was in such capable hands allowed us to rest properly for the first time. She followed our night-time routines with care while also offering thoughtful suggestions that genuinely helped improve feeding and sleep. We learnt so much from her.
We trust Vanessa completely and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family, especially those navigating complex or challenging circumstances.
