My Summary

Experienced Compassionate Maternity Nurse

My Experience

I currently work as a daily and nightly maternity nurse/newborn care specialist, providing support and guidance to new parents as well as overnight support to ensure as new parents you get the rest needed. As a maternity nurse/night nanny I’m there to help build confidence and provide physical and emotional support when ever I’m needed leaving you feeling empowered, knowledgeable and hopefully less tired!


In my previous role as a postnatal practitioner on a postnatal ward at St Marys Hospital I cared for new mothers and newborns. specialising in neonatal care. I have many years of experience in breastfeeding support, infant feeding, general baby cares including baby baths, reflux, tongue tie, feeding schedules, nappy changing and soothing babies including helping with sleep. I also completed a neonatal behavioural observation course which looks at the relationship between parents and their baby, helping to understand cues and encourage bonding experiences.

I have a foundation degree in Health and Social Care focussing on postnatal/maternity care, as well as a diploma in maternity and paediatric support. I have also recently also completed a maternity nurse qualification and intend on completing a sleep course over the next few months.

In addition, I have 13 years of experience as a nursery nurse after gaining both my level 2 and level 3 NVQ's in childcare and education. I spent 6 years as 3rd in charge in a private day nursery in Hale and then 8 years as a nursery nurse in an excellent private nursery in Altrincham.This provided me with experience in all age groups and an extended knowledge of the new EYFS. I hold a recent up to date CRB, as well as certificates in first aid, safeguarding, breastfeeding and neonatal conditions such as jaundice.

I am trustworthy, flexible, honest, loyal, organised, and practical with the ability to slip into any position confidently. I have great relationships with children and parents and excellent communication skills which i feel is very important when working in partnership with parents.
