A lovely family are expecting their second baby in mid-September and are looking for experienced night support 2–3 nights per week.
The ideal candidate will be fully up to date with current NHS guidelines and The Lullaby Trust safe sleep recommendations. Mum is hoping to breastfeed initially before transitioning to bottle feeding, allowing both parents to be involved in feeding and care.
The family have an older child who will not require any support from the Night Nanny, as care will be focused solely on the new baby.
The family would like to establish a gentle routine from an early stage, so the Night Nanny should be confident, knowledgeable, and experienced in supporting healthy sleep habits and newborn routines.
Please note that Dad will be away during the last week of October, and the family would ideally like the Night Nanny to provide night support throughout that entire week if available.
