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, fully staffed 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.
