Are you expecting a new baby?

We are confident that you will enjoy your baby's first few
weeks with the added support from one of our highly experienced maternity nurses.

Maternity nurses

Most of our maternity nurses have been registered with the agency for several years; however we always welcome new maternity nurses to join our maternity nurse agency. There is no single qualification for a maternity nurse. A private maternity nurse could be either a trained or experienced nanny with relevant newborn experience, a nurse or a midwife. We recruit maternity nurses mainly from the UK, France, Eastern Europe, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.

A maternity nurse is a great help for a short while after you have had your baby and left the hospital. Not only are you very tired but also, despite all your love for your child, you may feel unsure of how to handle the problems of a new baby. The maternity nurse will give you the confidence to cope quickly and can give you a routine to follow to suit your family needs.

The main responsibilities of a private maternity nurse are to care for your baby and assist you in establishing a routine within the home environment. The duties of a maternity nurse also involve supervising and tidying the baby's room and day-to-day laundry for the baby in addition to all areas of caring for your baby.

If you are planning to breast feed then the maternity nurse will support and encourage you with this. If you are going to bottle feed then the maternity nurse will be responsible for sterilising and making up the bottles for your baby.

A maternity nurse is on call for 24 hours a day either 5 or 6 days per week. She is entitled to at least 2-3 hours free time during the day to rest or take a walk. She however is on call should you need her assistance. Her time off per week consists of one full day and one full night; during this time the maternity nurse can ask to sleep alone or take time off outside the home.

If you wish to go ahead and book a maternity nurse, please do contact us to discuss your requirements. Advance bookings are highly recommended.

Salaries for maternity nurses

Maternity nurses are self-employed and work on a freelance basis. Salaries vary according to age, experience, location and whether they are responsible for a single baby, twins or triplets. These salaries are a guideline only.
