Harmony at home Maternity

We have a lovely opportunity for an experienced maternity practitioner to support first-time parents during a wedding.
The family would like to bring their four-month-old son to the celebration so he can be included in the special day and family photographs. They are looking for a caring and professional maternity practitioner to provide attentive care throughout the event, ensuring he has plenty of opportunities to relax, settle, and maintain his usual routine away from the festivities when needed.
The baby is bottle-fed, and the parents will provide all formula and supplies for the day. He has an established evening routine and will hopefully settle to sleep at around 9:00 pm, with the family expecting to leave at approximately 10:00 pm.
The baby does experience colic and mild reflux, so previous experience caring for infants with these conditions would be highly beneficial. This role would suit a calm, nurturing maternity practitioner who is confident caring for young babies and can provide reassurance and support in a busy event environment.
