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.

How I Work

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