Maternity Nurse/Mother’s Help – London, USA & Europe

Fully negotiable|London & Travel|Temporary (3-6 months)

A client from the USA is expecting her first baby (a daughter) on August 10th and is looking to hire a highly experienced Maternity Nurse/Doula with a fully inclusive and relaxed approach. This role requires a guiding hand and is expected to be approximately 3-6 months in duration. You will work 24/7 for the first month or so and then come to an arrangement moving forward of 24/5 or 25/6 flexible.

Throughout your time with the couple, you will travel between London (Belgravia), the US and Europe. The client may deliver in the USA and return to London a month or so later, however, this is still to be confirmed.

The perfect maternity nurse will be patient, calm and able to ensure both parents feel in control and supported. This is not a sole charge post and will suit candidates who are well practised with parents being hands-on and fully involved every step of the way.

The client is hoping to exclusively breastfeed and would therefore benefit from applicants with specialist breastfeeding training.

Further details will be disclosed to shortlisted applicants.

  • Communicating with the housekeeper on a beneficial diet and providing shopping lists for specific items
  • Being able to listen to ensure parents feel heard
  • Possess the ability to work as a team to build the confidence of both parents

Key requirements
