London Maternity Nurses

​

A highly experienced maternity nurse can provide knowledgeable, practical support during the early weeks and months following the birth of a baby.

​

Depending upon the agreed booking, this may include:

​

• Day, night or 24-hour newborn care

• Support with feeding and sterilisation

• Safe sleep guidance

• Establishing an appropriate daily rhythm

• Nursery organisation

• Baby-related record keeping

• Support for first-time parents

• Care of twins or premature babies

• International travel with the family

• Calm professional guidance within the home

​

Every booking is different. The maternity nurse’s precise responsibilities, working hours, accommodation, rest arrangements and professional fee should be agreed before the booking begins.

​

Qualifications Matter

​

The title maternity nurse is not currently a regulated professional title in the United Kingdom. The training and experience of people using it therefore vary considerably.

​

A short maternity nurse, newborn care or postnatal course is not equivalent to a full regulated childcare and education qualification.

 

NNEB Paragon only introduces maternity nurses who hold a recognised government-regulated childcare qualification.

 

This may include the NNEB Diploma or another appropriate regulated qualification in childcare and education. Relevant newborn experience, professional documentation, suitability and safer-recruitment requirements are also considered.

 

London Night Nannies and Night Maternity Nurses

​

Families use the terms night nanny and night maternity nurse in different ways. The job title alone does not establish a professional’s qualifications, experience or scope of practice.

​

A night maternity nurse or night nanny may support a family with:

​

• Newborn care during agreed overnight hours

• Feeding and settling

• Breastfeeding or bottle-feeding arrangements

• Sterilising and preparing feeding equipment

• Safe sleep practices

• Baby-related records

• Twins or multiple births

• Supporting parents during the postnatal period

 

The hours and expectations must be clearly defined. A night professional should not be assumed to remain continuously awake unless this has been specifically discussed, is safe and is properly reflected in the working arrangement and fee.

​

NNEB Paragon will help families distinguish between the support they would like and the qualifications and experience genuinely required.

Qualified London Nannies

​

NNEB Paragon also places qualified and experienced nannies with London families seeking consistent, professional care beyond the newborn stage.

​

Appointments may include:

​

• Live-in and live-out nannies

• Full-time permanent nannies

• Rota nannies

• Travelling nannies

• Nanny-governesses

• Nanny-PAs

• Head nannies

• Temporary and specialist appointments

​

A professional nanny’s role may encompass children’s care, development, education, routines, nursery duties, school arrangements, activities, travel and liaison with parents or other household staff.

​

The role should always be defined properly. Extensive household administration, personal-assistant work, cooking for the entire family or general housekeeping should not be quietly added to a nanny appointment without suitable discussion, remuneration and contractual terms.

​

A Selective, Principal-Led Placement Service

​

NNEB Paragon does not operate as a high-volume recruitment agency.

​

Each enquiry is considered individually. We take time to understand:

​

• The age and needs of the baby or children

• The qualifications and experience required

• The family’s parenting approach

• Working hours and responsibilities

• Live-in or live-out arrangements

• Accommodation and protected rest

• Travel and multiple residences

• The wider household structure

• Salary, professional fees and benefits

• The qualities required for a successful long-term match

​

Searches are accepted selectively. The proposed working arrangements and remuneration must appropriately reflect the responsibilities and calibre of professional required.

​

London and Internationally Connected Families

​

We assist families throughout London, including Central, West, South-West, North and North-West London, as well as families whose principal London residence forms part of an international lifestyle.

​

Appointments may involve travel between London and Europe, the Middle East, the United States or other family residences. Where travel is required, the schedule, accommodation, expenses, insurance, visas, working hours and additional responsibilities should be agreed from the outset.

​

What Will a London Maternity Nurse or Nanny Cost?

​

Professional fees and salaries vary according to qualifications, experience, working hours, location, responsibilities, travel and the intensity of the appointment.

​

London maternity nurses and nannies with recognised qualifications and extensive private-household experience generally command remuneration at the upper end of the market.

Planning to Recruit Independently?

​

Finding somebody is only one part of safer recruitment. Families must also understand how to assess qualifications, conduct appropriate checks, define the position and establish suitable working arrangements.

​

The Hiring a Qualified Maternity Nurse Guide provides detailed independent guidance for families undertaking their own search.
