My Summary
About Me
As an experienced and highly skilled maternity nurse and nanny with over 15 years of expertise, I am well-equipped to exceed expectations in the field. With an exceptional track record working with four reputable maternity nurse companies, I have seamlessly transitioned between night and day shifts, as well as live-in positions, demonstrating my adaptability and dedication.
My qualifications further solidify my credibility and commitment to excellence. Holding a Level 3 Post Natal Maternity Nurse Certificate from OCN London, I possess a deep understanding of the specific needs and challenges faced by new mothers. Additionally, my registration with Ofsted and Level 3 certification in Paediatric First Aid, including CPR training, reflect my unwavering commitment to providing a safe and secure environment for both mother and child.
To complement my qualifications, I have also completed a comprehensive Common Core Skill course from Riverside Cares, further enhancing my expertise in early childhood development and care. I am fluent in English, Greek, and Romanian, enabling me to effectively communicate and cater to the diverse needs of families from different cultural backgrounds.
Moreover, my experience as a mother myself, raising four children, endows me with an invaluable perspective and firsthand knowledge of the joys and challenges associated with parenthood. Drawing upon this insight, I am able to provide practical and realistic advice, tailored to each family's unique circumstances.
Beyond my technical skills, I am an exceptionally organized and detail-oriented professional, meticulously attending to the needs of both mother and baby. With a strong ability to multitask and prioritize, I ensure that all aspects of care are seamlessly coordinated, guaranteeing the well-being and comfort of those under my supervision.
I am delighted to provide excellent references upon request, attesting to my exceptional work ethic, reliability, and ability to foster a nurturing environment.

London, 15 February 2025
Maria is a wonderful maternity nurse who provided great support to our family in our early parenting journey from mid-December 2024 to mid-February 2025 in a live-in role. We greatly appreciated her care for our (slightly premature) baby, bringing her extensive experience, calming presence, and patience to our baby's care. Moreover, Maria offered a wealth of tips and assistance with all facets of newborn life, such as breastfeeding, bathing, changing, settling, and addressing issues like reflux and tummy pains. She also actively involved both my husband and me in the process, ensuring that by the time she left, we felt confident and well-prepared to care for our baby on our own.
We highly recommend Maria to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, caring, and experienced maternity nurse.

Maria worked with us as a maternity nurse for a period of approximately 12 weeks. She started with us the day after our son was born, and principally worked five nights per week (but, on occasion, six nights per week), starting at 9pm and finishing at 7.30am the following morning.
Quite simply, we found Maria to be an outstanding maternity nurse. She is clearly very experienced with babies - she just knows everything! - and we found her to be exceptionally reliable, punctual (always arriving early) and diligent. She is extremely conscientious and organised, has a calm and confident manner which immediately inspires confidence, is great at problem solving and her attention to detail is superb. She is also very intelligent, which she couples with oodles of common sense. We found Maria to set very high standards for herself, and she goes above and beyond to achieve them. Above all however, and most importantly, Maria gave our son the most incredible love, care and attention - he was just so happy and content when he was being cared for by her. Maria put him into a fantastic routine, which she did with great skill - and she made it all look so easy!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed having Maria in our home - she always had a smile on her face, and is gentle, kind, warm and caring. We grew very fond of her during our time with us (as did our three year old son, who also developed a lovely relationship with Maria!).
We would throughly recommend Maria as a maternity nurse - we feel incredibly lucky to have had her as our maternity nurse for our baby boy, and she set us up brilliantly for when she departed. If we have any more children, we will definitely be booking her as early as possible to be our maternity nurse!
