Overview
First time Canary Wharf-based parents seek a night nurse for 2-3 nights per week to help care for their 2-week-old baby. Hours will be from 10pm-8am (although a little flexibility around this would be appreciated) and the booking is likely to last for 6-8 weeks. Please note that this is a live-out position and accommodation is not provided for when the night-nurse is not working. There may also be some domestic travel.
Responsibilities
All nursery and overnight duties pertaining to the newborn:
- Feeding (currently combination)
- Winding and settling
- Changing nappies
- Soothing
- Keeping the nursery area tidy
- Helping to instil a gentle night-time routine, as well as encourage self-settling
Requirements
- Lots of experience as a night nurse/maternity nurse
- Preferably some experience as a neo-natal nurse or midwife
- Comfortable supporting breast and/or bottle feeding
- Happy to work alongside fully involved parents who will be doing the majority of the care themselves (apart from the two to three nights you are supporting them!)
- Patient and calm approach, and good at working within a reasonably structured set up for baby
