About Me

Hello Parents and Carers,
I hope you are all well.

My name is Rachel, and I am a Career Nanny, Night Nanny, Postnatal Maternity Nurse, and Baby & Child Sleep Consultant with over 16 years of professional childcare experience. Throughout my career, I have provided dedicated care and support to families with newborns, toddlers, twins, triplets, and multiple-aged siblings, ensuring a nurturing, structured, and developmentally supportive environment for each child.

As a Postnatal Maternity Nurse and Night Nanny, I provide gentle, professional support to families during the early stages of parenthood. My experience includes, but is not limited to:
• Washing and sterilising bottles and breast pump equipment
• Nappy changing and bathing
• Implementing gentle routines and supporting sleep regressions
• Preparing formula milk and safely handling expressed breast milk
• Feeding support for both breastfeeding and bottle-feeding
• Settling and soothing babies back to sleep
• Swaddling, winding, and supporting digestion after feeds
• Managing colic and reflux symptoms
• Administering medication as directed
• Promoting tummy time and healthy sleep habits from birth
• Maintaining the highest standards of hygiene at all times

As a Baby & Child Sleep Consultant, I support parents with all sleep-related concerns. I teach the science of sleep — including sleep cycles and wake windows — and help families establish positive sleep associations and routines from birth. I offer hands-on guidance through sleep regressions and age-appropriate sleep training, ensuring families feel supported every step of the way.

I also provide recommendations for helpful products such as white noise machines, night lights, bottles, and developmental toys that promote comfort and growth.

In my role as a Daily Nanny, my experience includes:
• Weaning (with confidence in baby-led weaning)
• Toilet training and sleep training
• Monitoring and supporting developmental milestones
• Planning age-appropriate activities and local classes
• Organising fun and engaging days at home, as well as outings and playdates
• Managing all nursery duties, including children’s laundry and wardrobe care
• Preparing nutritious meals and snacks from scratch
• Maintaining a clean, safe, and organised environment
• School readiness support — including phonics, early reading and writing, and number recognition

I take great pride in maintaining the highest standards of care with every family I work with. Children have been my lifelong passion, and my nurturing, motherly nature allows me to provide comfort, stability, and joy to the little ones in my care. Turning this passion into a career has been a true privilege.

All relevant documentation is available upon request, including my DBS (Update Service), First Aid Certificate, qualification certificates, CV, and written references.

I hold a full UK driving licence and have my own SUV vehicle.

Please note: Rates vary depending on the role and requirements and will be discussed prior to booking.

If you’d like to arrange a phone or video call to discuss your family’s needs further, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’d be delighted to answer any questions you may have and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best Wishes,
Rachel
