My Summary

My Experience

With many years of fostering babies in addition to supporting parents on 24/7 live in specialised placements- each for 12 week periods, I have cared for over 74 infants, including those born sick or premature, and have helped parents to bond and establish routines to ensure the best possible outcome for both parents and baby
I have a sound knowledge and training in child development, both with newborn and older babies. I have also completed doula training which includes instruction on breastfeeding and providing pre and postpartum support and ensuring mum is fully rested, particularly in those early days following birth.
My knowledge and experience have provided new parents with the guidance and support needed to ensure a successful bottle/ breastfeeding journey. As a mother myself (now all grown up) , I understands the importance of a gentle and supportive routine that works for both baby and parents.
I have the ability to work discreetly and together with you to develop a schedule that is suited to the needs of the whole family.
In addition I fully understand the importance of your private family time - knowing how imperative it is for your family to bond.
I would love to have the opportunity to support, nurture and assist you at the start of, or at any point of this incredible journey you are on.
Believe me it is so very special.
I look forward to having the opportunity to chat further with yourselves.
