Maternity Nurses

Maternity Nurses are either specifically trained professionals or very experienced Nannies who have a plethora of knowledge and experience caring for newborns.

It is typical for maternity nurses to reside at the residence they work in as they are also required to be on call twenty-four hours a day, five or six days a week.

They are primarily responsible for the care of your newborn child and typically remain with a family for anywhere between six and twelve weeks, depending on how long you require their assistance.

We work closely with our partner and friend Katie-Jane Crosbie, who is the owner of Agency By Katie-Jane, a world class maternity nurse specialist agency. 

The duties of a maternity nurse include providing support for the family, doing the washing for the newborn, sterilising, and preparing the baby’s formula, as well as calming the baby and helping them establish a routine.
