BOOKED | Chelsea, London | Maternity Nurse Sought for up to 1 Year Booking | February 2024 Start Date
A welcoming, professional family based in Chelsea are searching for a gentle and experienced maternity nurse to join them in caring for their new addition due February 2024.
The family have 3 older children, the youngest of which is 7 years old.
The family would like their maternity nurse to join them for at least 3 months extending up to 1 year as a maternity nanny to cover baby's sleep leaps and changing needs during the all important first year.
A working pattern of 24/5 or 24/6 is available to the successful candidate. The option to switch work 12 hour days when baby at least 3 months old is also possible.
A warm, loving and friendly maternity nurse would suit this family. Mum practised responsive parenting with her older child and the maternity nurse should have a good idea of "gentler" approaches to sleep training and development and be a responsive care giver herself.
All the usual maternity nurse duties apply such as taking care of baby’s daily needs, organising baby’s nursery, assisting with baby’s care over night, supporting mum with breastfeeding and assisting with sterilizing bottles when pumping is introduced. The family are keen on a Montessori approach and appreciative of a personality who knows when to step back and can work in collaboration with parents.
The successful candidate should also be holistic in their approach, supporting mum and the family along with baby in little tasks such as occasionally making a family meal to ensure mum eats well.
A candidate who is experienced with breastfeeding is appreciated as mum would like her maternity nurse to assist her with attending to baby overnight and work with her to support her breastfeeding goals particularly in the beginning when baby may need to be brought to mum to feed overnight to encourage milk supply. When baby is ready for a bottle the successful candidate will assist with introducing this, know how to serve baby breastmilk and do some of the overnight feeds.
After the initial 3 months, the family do plan to travel, usually to Europe, and would like their maternity nurse to accompany them.
A separate bedroom and bathroom as accommodation and 4 hours consecutive break per 24 hours are provided of course.
A guide salary of £300 per 24 hours has been discussed.
This is a lovely position for a responsive maternity nurse who understands how to facilitate and support breastfeeding, introducing routines and supporting sleep gently.
