Baby

Kinder Maternity Nurses / Newborn Care Specialists simply love babies!

KINDER Maternity Nurse agency in London has great selection of experienced and friendly maternity nurses. KINDER maternity nurses simply love newborn babies and are skilled in supporting mother/ parents at this important time. Our Maternity Nurses impart all their knowledge and help the essential bond to develop between new baby, his/her mummy & daddy and any siblings.

Why employ a Maternity Nurse?

Having a baby usually happens only  a few times in your lifetime. It is one of the most amazing events in your life, but potentially can also be a tense and stressful time. This is a time when you need to access experienced, reliable advice and hands on support. Which needs to be immediately at hand. Realistically, not all fathers can take time off to be at home after a birth. Furthermore, with the generation gap widening, many grandparents are becoming too old to be hands-on help to new parents, and many live too far away.

Kinder's Private Maternity Nurses have a wealth of documented experience in newborn baby-care. Furthermore they have qualifications, training and references in baby-care. Our newborn care specialists are also good with people; with bountiful empathy, kindness and patience.

What do Maternity Nurses do?

Maternity nurse holding newborn babyThe duty of a Maternity Nurse is to provide one to one support to the new mother, offering practical support and guidance in all aspects of new baby-care:

  • Bathing & clothing a newborn
  • Nappy changing (their experience with baby's 'deposits' can often put worried parents minds at rest)
  • How and when to put baby down to sleep: position and appropriate clothing/ blankets
  • Assisting mother in breast-feeding (rarely goes as smoothly as we are lead to believe in the NCT classes!) and advising with any issues, latching on, mastitis etc.
  • Guidance in gentle burping (release of pockets of air taken in whilst feeding).
  • If preparing some bottle feeds, the maternity nurse will show how this is done properly and safely and can teach parents how to express milk, sterilise all equipment and store expressed milk correctly.
  • They will have knowledge and experience of issues a new baby / mother may experience; such as colic, nappy rash, jaundice.
  • A maternity nurse will also know how to look after the new mother and ensure she is getting adequate, necessary rest. They are particularly helpful  in this way to mother's who have undergone a ceasarian section.
  • Vitally, a maternity nanny will also take over, during the day or night whenever the parents require it. This means the new parents can both rest and recuperate safe in the knowledge that someone kind and experienced is caring for their precious new bundle. This, for some, can be a real life saver!
  • Maternity nurse will help in these crucial early days and can make this major life event a total joy.

Is a maternity nurse just for first time mothers?

A maternity nurse is certainly not exclusively for first time mothers. Every birth and every newborn is different, even if your first baby/ies were easy a 2nd or 3rd may be a little more complicated.

Welcoming a new baby into the family is a huge event for all family members. Possibly, your older children/ toddlers may even develop some feelings of resentment towards the little newcomer, who takes up all their mummy and daddy's time! A maternity nurse is particularly helpful for taking the pressure off the new mother, allowing her to devote time to her older children/ toddlers whilst baby is being well looked after.

Maternity nurses are usually booked some time in advance; months or weeks. But if you have not already booked one, do not worry, we can still help you find a caring and experienced Maternity Nurse.

Payscale of a maternity nurse, what does a maternity nurse cost?  

  • Daily (24hr rate) for a 1 baby:  £250 - £360
  • Daily (24hr rate) for 2+ babies: £290 - £360

*Did you know, Maternity Nurses are self employed. That means, they are responsible for paying their taxes not you!

What is the difference between a maternity nurse and a maternity nanny?

Some people use these terms interchangeably but actually they are different roles. A maternity nurse is as described above, a live in, short-term newborn specialist. A maternity nanny on the other hand does not specialise in the earliest of a newborn day's. They might start caring for the newborn from birth (together with the mother) or at a few weeks or months old. A maternity nanny has a good amount of experience with new and older babies, but does not usually have the specialist training and qualifications of a maternity nurse. Their rates are therefore lower than a maternity nurse although maybe still slightly higher than a nanny who is caring for somewhat older children. A maternity nanny will work for a family for months and even years, if the arrangement is good for both sides.
