My passion
Why I do this
My passion is making the transition after birth as seamless as possible: giving you an environment where you can focus on bonding with your baby and recovering.
My goal is to provide that support for you and your baby, and extra peace of mind, during such a vulnerable transition (and, of course, to get baby sleeping through the night).
I have ten years with newborns, since my nephew was born in 2017, and before that eleven years as a chief yacht stewardess, in homes where the highest standard meant a need met before it was spoken. I bring that standard to your house at night. From those years I also hold STCW Basic Safety Training: fire fighting, sea survival, and first aid.
What I am known for
- Overnight newborn care
- Getting baby sleeping through the night
- Feeding support, breast and bottle
- Twins and multiples
- First-time mothers
