A warm and welcoming family is seeking an experienced Night Nanny to provide short-term support following the birth of their second baby.
The father will soon be returning to work, while the mother is recovering from a particularly traumatic C-section, and the family would greatly value compassionate overnight assistance during this important recovery period.
Their newborn is able to take a bottle; however, the mother is very keen to continue encouraging breastfeeding. The ideal candidate will therefore have strong knowledge of feeding support, including gentle breastfeeding guidance, newborn settling techniques, and safe sleep practices.
The family hopes to find a Night Nanny who is experienced in supporting mothers after a caesarean birth and who can offer a calm, empathetic, and nurturing presence in the home. It is important that the successful candidate is trustworthy, kind, and able to provide reassurance to the family during this transitional time.
There is also an older sibling in the household who will hopefully remain asleep throughout the night, allowing the main focus to be on caring for the newborn and supporting the mother.
Please note Maternity Nurse and Newborn Care titles are industry terms, not protected medical titles.
