Maternity Nurse references


Marta is a lovely, gentle, intelligent person with a wonderful way with babies. My son was tiny as a newborn and sometimes fussy during the day but whenever Marta arrived he instantly calmed down. She looked after him throughout the night so I could get some sleep and was generally a godsend. I recommend her very highly and would be happy to speak to anyone who wants to know more.

M. W.



Marta came to work for my husband and I the day we returned from hospital with our first newborn baby girl. She continued to work for us for the following 8 weeks until we decided that we needed a housekeeper nanny rather than a maternity nurse as our baby had grown out of the very young newborn phase. She worked initially as a night nurse and full time for the last couple of weeks when we all went on holiday abroad.

I found Marta to be very professional, non judgemental and extremely calm in nature. She did not once loose her calm with our baby. She also worked long hours without complaining once. I trust her 100% with my very precious newborn baby girl. She was also very helpful to me in the early days after having had a c section. She knew how to soothe our baby very well and taught us some techniques. She also helped instigate a sleeping routine which has meant our baby now generally sleeps through the night. Marta was very good at helping me establish my breast feeding in the early days also, sterilising bottles and breast pump, and warming up/feeding our baby with some expressed milk a few times when I was too tired to feed her myself. Overall I would recommend Marta as a very experienced maternity nurse and would like to have her again if needed in the future for the first month or two of our next newborns life.

Best wishes,

E. B.




To whom it may concern,

Marta came to us when baby E. was 3 weeks old and I was really struggling with sleep deprivation and the ups and downs of being a new mom. She spent 5 weeks with us, helping me nights initially and then also on a 24hr basis. I immediately trusted her with E. as she was a very calming and nurturing presence and I felt comfortable that E. was in good and caring hands. Apart from helping me very practically to get rest and catch up on sleep, she helped me feel more confident with my efforts to establish a feeding and sleeping routine, discreetly coaching me on and gently nudging E. into it. We are now very happy mom and baby and at 9 weeks today E. is already sleeping through the night. Marta helped us enormously along this path and I would not hesitate to highly recommend her as a maternity nurse to any family.
