An experienced and compassionate maternity night nanny is required to assist second-time parents for several weeks as they transition to life with their infant, born in February. Having previously worked with a maternity nurse, the family is now looking for dedicated overnight assistance, particularly as the mother has recently returned to work. Their baby is thriving, settled into a gentle routine, and described as very content.
The family would value a knowledgeable and confident candidate who can offer reassurance and professional guidance while remaining respectful of the household’s established dynamic. The ideal person will be up to date with current newborn care guidelines and able to provide calm, attentive support tailored to the baby’s individual needs. This family has worked with the agency before and is looking forward to welcoming the right professional into their home.
