Baby & Childcare Consultancy and Maternity Nurse Services

Rachel provides a Consultancy and Maternity Nurse Service to parents offering help with and advice on newborns, growing babies, toddlers and young children. Rachel is an advocate of a flexible, loving routine and has seen this method work very successfully for many years with her clients’ babies as well as her own children and grandchildren.

There are three levels of services Rachel can offer:

Maternity Nurse

Ante-natal

Rachel can help you prepare for your new baby. This includes preparation of the nursery and all that will be needed for the new baby and what to expect during those first few days when baby comes out of hospital.

Post-natal

Rachel is happy to live in for a few days or to visit daily to help parents with baby. She will care for both, ensuring mum gets the rest she needs. She will also teach and guide the parents in the general care and feeding of baby and helping to get baby into a flexible routine.
Rachel will also go into a home where mum is tired and needs a rest or just a few nights off. Rachel can offer her services on a 24 hour basis; looking after both mother and baby, helping mother with breast/bottle feeding, sleeping and any other aspects to help with baby.
Rachel can also look after baby if you would like to go out or get on with the cooking, bottles or ironing for instance.

Rachel offers tailor-made packages to take mothers from ante-natal care to post-natal care ensuring continued support, help and advice throughout the entire time.  Rachel can be available to visit in person or to chat on the telephone about any concerns that a mother might have, thus ensuring that a mother feels secure and safe through those early weeks and months.
