Services

I offer a range of flexible services that cater for families seeking temporary support.

Newborn Settlement:

 

I am happy to work with parents, once they return from hospital, in their own home and offer a settlement service where I will share my skills and encourage the development of yours as parents.

Maternity Nurse:

 

I am available for short maternity support contracts. Many nurses prefer to take contracts of at least 5 or 6 weeks. I am happy to take positions from as little as a few days to a few weeks. As a mother myself, I appreciate that some families may be reluctant to have a maternity nurse in the house for a long period of time but that they would like a little support e.g. in the early days of feeding, during initial nights or during a difficult phase.

 Sleep Training / Night Nanny: 

 

I can provide families with either a night off from their baby to enable everyone to recharge their batteries or I can spend a little more time, initially with baby and then with parents to establish a good night routine. My approach is a mix of both traditional and modern taking into consideration the wishes and circumstances of the parents.Issues covered include waking in night, night terrors, settling, daytime napping

Behaviour Problems:

I am able to come into your home and observe the behaviour that you are concerned about. This allows us to immediately start working on the problem together with my guidance. I can discuss and demonstrate techniques that you will feel comfortable and confidant to use to resolve the problem.Examples of problems I've worked on include toilet training, attachment, feeding, social behaviour, biting

Holiday / illness Cover: 

 

On occasion I am able to provide a holiday cover service where I, put simply, fill the shoes of an existing maternity nurse or parent.
