The Maternity Nurse

I provide experienced night nanny support for families in London who would benefit from professional newborn care during the night.

​

As an NNEB-qualified maternity nurse with extensive newborn experience, I offer calm, responsive overnight care tailored to the individual needs of each baby and family.

​

Night nanny support can give parents valuable periods of rest while ensuring their baby is cared for safely and attentively throughout the night.

​

I work primarily across Central and West London and accept selected overnight bookings depending on location, hours and the age of the baby.

What Does a Night Nanny Do?

​

A night nanny provides professional care for your baby overnight while parents rest.

Depending on your baby's age, feeding arrangements and your preferences, support may include:

​

• Settling and comforting your baby

• Bottle feeding during the night

• Bringing your baby to you for breastfeeding

• Supporting expressing and combination feeding

• Changing and resettling your baby after feeds

• Sterilising and preparing feeding equipment

• Monitoring sleep, feeding and general wellbeing

• Keeping appropriate overnight records where helpful

• Supporting gentle, age-appropriate sleep patterns

• Offering practical newborn guidance and reassurance

​

For breastfeeding mothers, I can bring your baby to you for feeds and then take over winding, changing and settling afterwards, allowing you to return to sleep as quickly as possible.

​

Night Nanny or Night Nurse?

​

Families searching for overnight newborn support often use the terms night nanny and night nurse interchangeably.

​

My service is professional overnight newborn care rather than medical nursing.

​

As an NNEB-qualified maternity nurse, I bring extensive childcare, newborn and developmental experience to overnight bookings while working within the professional boundaries of private maternity care.

​

If a baby requires medical assessment or treatment, parents should seek advice from an appropriate healthcare professional.

​

Overnight Support for New Parents

​

The early weeks with a newborn can be exhausting, particularly when sleep is repeatedly interrupted.

​

A night nanny can provide additional support for:

​

• First-time parents

• Parents requiring longer newborn care from birth 

• Parents recovering after birth

• Families with demanding daytime commitments

• Parents who need occasional overnight support

• Families transitioning from live-in maternity nurse care

• Babies requiring additional settling support

• Parents who would simply benefit from some uninterrupted rest

​

My role is not to impose a rigid routine or sleep-training programme.

​

I work responsively with the baby’s age, temperament, feeding needs and developmental stage while respecting the parents’ preferences.

​

Newborn Night Nanny London

​

I particularly enjoy supporting newborn babies from the early postnatal period.

​

During the first weeks, overnight care is primarily about responsive feeding, settling, safe sleep and helping parents navigate the normal but demanding rhythm of newborn life.

​

As babies grow, support can evolve naturally around their changing feeding and sleep patterns.

Where appropriate, I can also help parents recognise their baby's cues and establish gentle, realistic rhythms that support the whole family.

​

Safe Sleep & Professional Newborn Care

​

Safe infant sleep is central to my practice.

​

I follow current safer sleep principles and support parents in creating an appropriate sleep environment for their baby.

​

Overnight care is always tailored to the baby's age and developmental needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

​

I do not use controlled crying or cry-it-out methods.

​

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 professional requirements include:

​

• Paediatric first aid

• Enhanced DBS

• Professional insurance

• Ongoing newborn and maternity professional development

​

My background combines extensive practical newborn experience with professional knowledge of child development, attachment, safeguarding and safe infant care.

​

Night Nanny Hours

​

Night nanny bookings are agreed according to the family's requirements and location.

​

A typical overnight booking may involve approximately 8 to 10 hours of care, with exact start and finish times agreed in advance.

​

I accept selected regular and long-term night nanny bookings, subject to availability and practical travelling distance.

​

For families requiring more comprehensive around-the-clock support, a live-in maternity nurse booking may be more appropriate.

​

Kensington • Chelsea • Knightsbridge • Belgravia • Holland Park • Notting Hill • Mayfair • St John's Wood

​

Night Nanny London – Frequently Asked Questions

​

Can you care for my baby while I sleep?

​

Yes. Depending on your baby's feeding arrangements, I can provide sole-charge overnight care while you rest.

​

For bottle-fed babies, I can manage feeds, changing, winding and settling throughout the night.

​

For breastfed babies, I can bring your baby to you for feeding and then take over settling afterwards.

​

Do you work with newborn babies?

​

Yes. Newborn care is a significant part of my professional background, and I accept overnight bookings from the early postnatal period.

​

Are you a sleep trainer?

No.

​

My approach is responsive and developmentally appropriate. I can support gentle sleep rhythms and settling but do not use controlled crying or cry-it-out methods.

​

Is a night nanny the same as a maternity nurse?

​

There can be overlap.

​

A maternity nurse usually provides more comprehensive newborn and postnatal support, often on a live-in basis, while a night nanny focuses specifically on overnight care.

​

Because I am an experienced maternity nurse, my night nanny service brings that broader newborn knowledge into overnight support.

​

Can I book occasional nights?

​

Occasional overnight support may be available depending on location and availability.

Regular bookings and longer blocks can also be considered.
