April 2017 - The Nanny Service

Maternity Nurse needed for 2 weeks in Aug

Job ref: Maternity/N3

First time parents need a maternity nurse from Aug 5th for two weeks to help them with their newborn baby. Their preference is for someone who would be happy to do 14 days straight, however they they would also consider 24/6.

They are looking for someone who can teach mum all she needs to know about a newborn. Someone to build her confidence so that she knows what she’s doing at the end of the contract period. Mum is undecided as to whether she wants to breast or bottle feed and open to guidance from the maternity nurse on routines. There will be a room available for your own use or you may share with the baby if you prefer to do so. Someone fun with a good sense of humour would be a bonus.

The family don’t have any pets in the home and would like a non-smoker. £200-220 per 24 hours.
