The Maternity Nurse
I provide experienced, discreet maternity nurse support for international families based in London, travelling to London for the birth of their baby, or dividing their time between London and homes overseas.
As an NNEB-qualified maternity nurse with extensive newborn and private household experience, I offer calm, individual care tailored to each baby and family.
My role is to support parents through the early days and weeks after birth while providing knowledgeable, responsive care for their newborn.
Whether you are spending the postnatal period in London, returning home overseas after the birth, or require continuity of care while travelling, arrangements can be tailored around your family’s circumstances.

Live-In Maternity Nurse London
For families requiring more comprehensive support, I can provide live-in maternity nurse care in London.
Live-in arrangements allow for continuity during the newborn period and can be particularly valuable for first-time parents, families recovering after a difficult birth, parents with demanding professional commitments, or international families temporarily based in London.
Working arrangements are agreed in advance so that expectations, responsibilities, accommodation and appropriate periods of rest are clearly defined.
Maternity Care for International Families
London attracts families from around the world for work, family commitments and private maternity care.
I am accustomed to working within private households and understand the additional organisation that can accompany international family life.
This may include coordinating the nursery around household schedules, working alongside other household professionals, preparing a baby for international travel and maintaining continuity of care when a family moves between residences.
I work directly with families, family offices, private PAs and trusted representatives where appropriate.
Travelling Maternity Nurse
Continuity can be especially valuable during the first months of a baby's life.
Where agreed as part of a maternity booking, I can accompany families travelling from London to other UK, European or international destinations.
Travelling maternity care can help maintain familiar routines and consistent newborn care while parents navigate flights, hotels, different residences and changes in time zone.
International bookings and travel arrangements are considered individually.
Experienced & Professionally Qualified
I hold the National Nursery Examination Board Childcare and Education qualification (NNEB) and have undertaken additional professional newborn and maternity training, including National Childbirth Trust training.
My background combines extensive practical newborn experience with a professional understanding of child development, attachment, safeguarding and safe infant care.
I maintain current professional requirements appropriate to private maternity work, including paediatric first aid, Enhanced-DBS checks and professional insurance.
I also have a working knowledge of French, which can be useful when supporting international families and travelling within Europe.
A Calm & Individual Approach to Newborn Care
I particularly enjoy working with families who are looking for calm, experienced and focused support during the newborn period.
Rather than imposing a rigid programme, I work with the baby's developmental needs and the preferences of their parents.
My aim is to leave parents feeling confident in caring for their baby, with practical routines and strategies that are appropriate for their individual family.
