About Me

I provide highly specialised, in-home newborn and postnatal care for families requiring a discreet, experienced, and professionally trained maternity nurse.

With over three decades of post-qualifying experience and an NNEB Gold Standard qualification, I support families through the earliest weeks of their baby’s life with a structured, calm, and expert-led approach.

My work is primarily within private, households, where I integrate seamlessly alongside PAs, house managers, rota nannies, and security teams. I understand the expectations, pace, and discretion required in high-profile environments.

I undertake a limited number of carefully selected engagements each year.

Areas of Expertise

• Sole-charge newborn and postnatal care
• Twins, premature infants, and complex care needs
• Surrogacy and adoption arrangements
• High-profile and security-conscious households
• International travel with newborns (commercial & private aviation)
• Multi-residence and long-haul placements

​• Establishing and leading newborn care within private households
• Supporting and guiding junior staff where required

 

How I Work

Engagements are typically undertaken on a sole-charge 24 hour live-in basis, where I provide consistent, structured newborn care and establish a calm and well-managed environment within the home.

Where additional support is required, I am experienced in working alongside junior team members or assisting in structuring bespoke peer support around the baby’s routine.
