My Summary
About Me
I’m Assya, a qualified Newborn Care Specialist with over 15 years of experience in childcare, including 7 years working as a night nurse and maternity nurse. I bring a calm, discreet, and respectful presence into the home, offering compassionate and responsive support during the early days of parenthood.
My approach is gentle, holistic, and routine-focused, drawing from Montessori and RIE/Pikler principles. I believe that calm, predictable routines help babies feel secure and allow families to gain confidence as they settle into life with a newborn.
A key part of my role is helping families get feeding off to a great start, offering practical, non-judgmental support — whether you're breastfeeding, expressing, formula feeding, or combining methods.
I build healthy sleep habits from day one and guide longer stretches when developmentally appropriate.
I specialise in overnight care (typically 9 PM–7 AM), ensuring your baby is fed, changed, and resettled so you can get some much-needed rest. I also offer gentle support for common newborn concerns like reflux or colic.
My goal is that by the end of the booking period, parents feel confident and well-equipped, and babies are feeding well, sleeping beautifully, and thriving.
My Experience
I have solid hands-on experience as a night nurse and maternity nurse, confidently supporting families through the newborn stage.
I’m skilled in all areas of newborn care, including:
*Supporting parents with feeding — including breastfeeding, expressing, formula, or combination feeding
*Managing bottle refusal and encouraging smooth transitions when needed
*Winding, nappy changes, dressing, and settling
*Cleaning and sterilising bottles and feeding equipment
*Maintaining a calm sleep environment throughout the night
I also support:
*Overnight care (typically 9 PM–7 AM) and 24-hour newborn care
*Common concerns such as colic, reflux, or unsettled behaviour
*Teaching new parents the ropes — from daily care and newborn cues to practical advice on equipment, clothing, toys, and books that encourage early development
*Adjusting care approaches to suit the baby’s stage and the family’s needs
I aim to make families feel supported, informed, and confident as they settle into life with their baby.

We were incredibly fortunate to have Assya as our night nanny for three months. From the moment she stepped into our home, it was clear that she was not just a caregiver but also a cherished member of our family.
Assya’s warmth, kindness, and professionalism are what truly set her apart from anyone else. Her extensive knowledge of child development and her ability to soothe and care for our newborn Alex were truly exceptional. She didn’t just follow routines; she understood the nuances of Alex’s needs and adapted her approach accordingly.
Assya’s commitment to continuous lifelong learning is also unparalleled. She has completed an impressive array of courses related to childcare. Assya’s advice on managing our toddler Sofia during the arrival of the newborn, as a result, was invaluable. She provided practical tips and emotional support, helping us navigate this significant transition. Her insights made a world of difference, and we’re forever thankful for her guidance.
Assya’s dedication extended beyond her expertise. She always arrived early, stayed late, and went the extra mile. Her thoughtful gestures, included bringing us gifts and essential baby products, to help with the early days of our newborn. We miss her dearly now that Alex has grown up. Assya became part of our family. Her positive energy and nurturing spirit brightened our nights, and we’re forever grateful.
Any family that has the privilege of having Assya care for their child in the future is incredibly lucky. She is a world-class nanny that brings not only unique expertise but also a heart full of compassion. Assya, thank you for being an integral part of our family during this precious time!

Assya helped me the first weeks on my journey with a newborn and I was so much more at ease having her around. She brought a lot of professional advice on the breastfeeding journey as well as nights with a newborn. I was confident leaving my newborn with her and her guidance was really appreciated and helpful. I would recommend her to anyone who needs that extra confidence in this challenging new journey.

Assya was our baby's maternity nurse during his first 6 weeks of life. Her calm and knowledgeable approach brought a sense of peace and structure to our early parenting journey.
Her expertise in newborn care, breastfeeding, and establishing a healthy routine for our baby was incredibly helpful. She tailored her care to our unique needs and parenting style, which was reassuring.
Her well-organised approach allowed us to focus on our baby and my healing process. Assya is warm, gentle, and discreet. We highly recommend her and trust her wholeheartedly.

Assya has been looking after our 2 and a half years old son for the past 6 months, and I can not stress how glad we are. I hope you will find the below review useful.
- Assiya is well experienced and knowledgeable. Her methodology is backed with her years of trainings and studies, which become all obvious when you see her interacting with your child.
- She can always find myriads of ways to entertain and stimulate, even in difficult situation. Her communication with our son is top to none, and we always feel that there is a lot to learn from her. She also happily shares other tips and knowledge to help us raise, which have been very handy.
- She is professional, reliable and punctual, flexible with your demand, and most importantly fully dedicated whilst looking after our child, but still manages to sends us regular update (excellent multi-tasker)!
- It often feels like we work in partnership, and supportive to parents as well
- Lastly, she is sweet, gentle, soft spoken. Our son loves her, constantly asking for her, and so do we as his parents
She is the best nanny we have met, and I am sure you will feel the same

Assya was my family’s part-time Maternity Nanny in February and March of 2022, starting when my daughter was 3.5 months old and ending when she was 5.5 months old. We moved to Amsterdam at this time, but otherwise would have loved to continue working with Assya.
Assya worked two days a week for us and occasionally nights and weekends. She provided all care for our daughter while in our home, including feeding, playing/development activities, putting her down for naps/bedtime, changing nappies/bathing, and taking her outside for walks and to the park. Assya always made sure to follow our daughter’s schedule and was always on time and easy to communicate with. We immediately trusted her with our daughter in and out of our home.
We appreciated how proactive Assya was when it came to engaging our daughter. She would bring activities for her and would suggest books and toys that would be beneficial for her development. On the days that Assya worked for us, she would set up a play area for our daughter and spend much of the day engaging with her there. We were impressed with how attentive and thoughtful Assya was, and ourselves learned so much from her.
We absolutely loved having Assya as our daughter’s Maternity Nanny. She is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, calm, confident and kind, and most importantly, our daughter loved her. We often asked for Assya’s input on various aspects of our daughter’s development (such as sleep, weaning, teething, etc.), and Assya always had thoughtful suggestions for us, allowing us to feel empowered as first-time parents. Any family would be lucky to have Assya as their nanny.
