A nightly maternity nurse role in North London supporting first-time parents with feeding, settling and gentle routine guidance during the early weeks.

This is a supportive role suited to a warm and experienced maternity nurse who can offer calm guidance while working alongside hands-on first-time parents. A first-time family based in Belsize Park are seeking a Nightly Maternity Nurse to support them with their 2-week-old baby.
The parents are currently combination feeding, as breastfeeding did not establish immediately, and would value knowledgeable support to help build milk supply while continuing to meet baby’s needs. They are following the baby’s lead and would welcome gentle guidance towards a more settled routine over time. This role will suit someone warm, communicative and reassuring, who is confident offering advice while remaining respectful of the parents’ approach. The household is relaxed and friendly, with a small Labradoodle, so the candidate must be comfortable around dogs.
