Maternity Nurse
Each family has their own reasons for employing a maternity nanny/ maternity nurse or night nanny.
If you need extra support at home with a newborn baby (or twins or triplets), we can help you find a highly qualified professional maternity nanny to help you how, when & where you need it the most.
A maternity nurse, or night nanny, provides families with expert, specialist care for baby and mum during the first few weeks/months after birth in the comfort of their own home. Such invaluable support is there exactly when and where you need it, to help you adjust to your new family member and establish good feeding and sleeping routines.
Commonly, the support is most required where mum needs to recover from the birth or a caesarean section, where one or both parents need to return to work quickly, or for specialist support for breast-feeding, colic and sleeping problems.
Also some families, especially where both parents work, choose to employ a maternity care specialist to ensure they are rested enough to return to work – sometimes until baby is sleeping through.
Mary Poppins Services is a well-established agency, reputated for being a professional, experienced and friendly childcare agency, not only in Marbella, Sotogrande, Madrid, Ibiza, Mallorca, Menorca, but also in the whole Europe and Gibraltar, and our maternity nannies are highly- trained or experienced nannies with extensive newborn experience, nurses or midwifes and trained in post-natal care and their main role is to look after mum and her newborn.
Families that employ a maternity nurse or night nanny state that the main benefit was to be able to rest and recuperate knowing that a professional has looked after everything.
