Maternity
The role of the Maternity Nurse is one of support, guidance and care for both Mum and New Baby.
Maternity Nurses sometimes known as Maternity Nannies, Post Natal Carers or Baby Nurses are usually trained or experienced Nurses, Midwives or Nannies who specialise in Newborn Care. Some will specialise or have additional knowledge and expertise in particular areas such as Twins, Premature Births and C-sections, Special Care babies, Breast feeding, Routine and Sleep Training.
Tailored to the individual family a Maternity Nurse will provide invaluable guidance with General Baby care. At Burlington Maternity each Maternity Nurse is registered, personally interviewed and references verified and updated before their CV is forwarded. They will have a current Paediatric First Aid Certificate and CRB check. For your own reassurance we recommend that you also speak to a selection of previous references personally.
The Role of the Maternity Nurse
The role of the Maternity Nurse is one of support, guidance and care for both Mum and New Baby.
A maternity nurse can be booked from between 1 – 12 weeks or longer if needed and will work a 5 or 6 day week and be on call 24 hrs (with a 2-4 hour break each day).
A Maternity nurse is self employed and will be paid directly on a weekly basis in the region of £800 -1000 per week for single baby (more for twins or multiples).
She is able to teach and guide a new Mum thus giving her confidence and reassurance with her first baby.
A Mum who has undergone a C-section or difficult birth will need more recovery time and everyday help (not being able to lift things or drive for 6 weeks).

Live-in Nannies usually include one or two nights babysitting per week, whilst daily nannies would be paid extra for babysitting.
