A maternity nurse will take care of the baby and guide and advise the mother.  Depending on your needs, a maternity nurse can be contracted for as little as a few days’ residential position, or up to four months or more.  Maternity nurses are often trained nannies or a midwife who specialises in caring for new babies.  We can organise for them to be on call 12 or 24 hours a day, five or six days a week, especially at night, to help both parents catch up on some sleep.
