Aged care home services

I am a registered mothercraft nurse providing home consultations and relief care for families with babies. I give support such as confidence building for new parents, teaching practical baby-handling skills, bathing, feeding - breast or bottle, sleep and settling, routine establishing, weaning etc - all manner of issues related to babies. I come from a background of both Tresillian and Karitane training and have managed to accrue a long history of experience with babies and young children that has spanned over the last 30 years! I come with excellent referrals from many lovely families I have worked with over that time period. I also have 3 - now grown up - boys. So I've experienced babies pretty much from start to finish! I believe that parenting should be instinctual and natural and heart-led and should be done in a way that respectfully looks at the process through the eyes and experience of the child. Have you ever read the Serenity prayer? It goes - God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; Courage to change the things I can And the Wisdom to know the difference. My approach is a bit like this. Together we will gently adjust and tweak what we can change and wisely face and accept there will be some things we cannot. Babies are not machines with on/off switches that we can 'enforce' our will upon they are human beings with very unique personality traits and a will all of their own. We will work with this beautiful little being and all he/she brings to the table in a way that's flexible, realistic, gentle and respectful. I also offer relief care for your baby while you have some much needed sleep or time out where you can rest assured your baby is in experienced hands. And I do short term sole charge nanny work. Please feel free to ring or email with any enquiries about your particular circumstance. Servicing Tamworth and outlying areas. Gift vouchers available. A great idea for a 'new arrival' gift from grandparents or friends.
