FAQ
A maternity nurse is a postnatal care professional who supports families during the newborn period. Her role focuses on newborn care, feeding support, sleep routines, and parental guidance in the first weeks or months following birth. A maternity nurse provides calm, knowledgeable support to help families settle confidently into life with a new baby.
Maternity nurse placements are typically short-term and may range from two weeks to several months, depending on the family’s needs. Some families require support in the early weeks only, while others choose extended support to help establish routines and confidence over time.
During our initial phone call, we would discuss your child’s specific requirements to understand the specificities, to find a nanny who has the appropriate skills and experience to provide the best care and support.
A maternity nurse’s duties centre on newborn care and postnatal support. This may include feeding guidance (breast or bottle), sleep routines, baby care, hygiene, and settling techniques. She may also offer reassurance and practical advice to parents as they adjust to caring for their newborn.
Yes. We place both day maternity nurses and night maternity nurses, depending on your requirements. Day support focuses on routines and parental guidance, while night maternity nurses help with overnight feeds and settling, allowing parents to rest during the early weeks.
Maternity nurse roles may be structured as live-in or live-out, depending on the hours required and the family’s preference. Night maternity nurses are usually live-out, while some day or 24-hour roles may be live-in for short periods.
Many maternity nurses have professional training in newborn or postnatal care and extensive hands-on experience. While not all are medically qualified, we carefully assess each nurse’s background, training, and experience to ensure suitability for the role and the family’s preferences.
All maternity nurses we recommend are personally known to us and carefully vetted. This includes interviews, reference checks, DBS verification, confirmation of relevant experience, and right-to-work checks where applicable. Temporary maternity placements follow the same rigorous standards as permanent roles.
