My name is Heidi and I am an enthusiastic and compassionate maternity nurse and professional nanny with over eight years of experience supporting families. I’ve had the pleasure of working with newborns, multiples, premature babies, and children with special educational needs, always focusing on providing the best care possible. I specialise in perinatal mental health, establishing routines, gentle sleep education, and overall infant care—making sure both babies and parents get the support and guidance they need.
As a Mum to my wonderful 5-year-old daughter, Faith, I bring a unique perspective to my work, combining my personal experiences with my professional expertise. I truly understand the challenges families face and am passionate about making a real difference in the early stages of a child’s life through my maternity nursing.
I hold a master’s degree and have previously worked as a lecturer. I’ve also successfully managed a baby clothing business, which has helped me hone my organizational skills, attention to detail, and drive for excellence. Above all, I aim to bring warmth and reassurance to the families I support, treating each child with love, respect, and care, while empowering parents every step of the way.
Education
Experience
This family has two daughters, aged 5 years and 12 weeks (born 8 weeks premature). My primary role is supporting the family with newborn care, focusing on sleep routines, feeding, and overall infant care. Due to the baby’s needs, I have recently been asked to increase my hours to provide additional daytime support.
I am currently supporting a family with their 16-month-old daughter, working a few hours each week to help her adjust to my care while focusing on her bedtime routine. Since birth, the mother has followed the Gina Ford sleep routine, and I provide support in maintaining this structured nighttime schedule.
This was a temporary childcare role supporting parents with their premature newborn while also considering the needs of their older child, who was undergoing cancer treatment. My primary responsibility was providing overnight care, allowing the parents to rest and catch up on sleep. The newborn was diagnosed with Hyperinsulism, so I provided specialised care, including regular blood sugar monitoring and recognising signs of concern. I was actively involved in all aspects of night time care, with a strong focus on feeding and establishing a bedtime routine.
Reason for Leaving: This was a temporary role, and the family no longer required childcare support.
I currently work with a family caring for their 6-year-old son in a unique role that involves supporting both mother and child. Due to a brain injury, the mother was unable to drive for a period, while the father worked away weekly. During this time, I provided essential support, including school runs, attending Judo classes, bedtime routines, and general care. I also played a key role in helping the child transition from nursery to school.
Now that the mother has fully recovered and regained her driving license, my role has naturally adapted. I continue to provide childcare as needed and have since expanded my work to support additional families.
I worked as a Night Nanny for this family select evenings each week, caring for their 3-year-old twins (a boy and a girl). My role involved establishing a structured bedtime routine, supporting toilet training, and helping them transition away from dummies. In addition to overnight care, I was actively involved in school runs, after-school care, and all aspects of their daily routine.
Reason for Leaving: Mum graduated from university and changed shifts, eventually moving back to London.
I worked with this family 2-3 shifts per week, providing care across both parents' households following their separation. The family had five children, ranging from 8 months to 12 years old, with my primary responsibility being the baby girl and her 3-year-old brother. Alongside general childcare, I also assisted with handover transitions between parents and managed transportation between homes to ensure continuity of care.
Reason for Leaving: Family no longer needed childcare support
In this role, I provided care for two children with diverse needs—one with ASD and the other with Cerebral Palsy and Epilepsy. I received specialized training from the mother in PEG feeding, safe lifting, and medication administration, enabling me to confidently and competently carry out all aspects of their care.
Reason for Leaving: I became pregnant with my daughter and was no longer able to safely lift the child due to pregnancy-related limitations.
