Hello, I’m Natalie.
Much of my life has been spent caring for children and supporting families — both as a mum of three (now grown) and a proud grandparent. I understand the joys and challenges of raising little ones, especially for families living away from their wider support networks.
My approach is calm, nurturing, and practical. Families consistently describe me as calm, capable, and compassionate — a trusted presence who goes above and beyond to provide practical help and emotional steadiness when it’s most needed.
I’m also the founder of Steady Nest, a community-based service that provides in-home support for new parents during the early weeks and months after birth. Alongside this, I volunteer with the Mater Mothers Parent Aide Unit, offering gentle, reassuring support to families adjusting to life with a newborn.
Outside of work, I enjoy gardening, baking, cooking, arts and crafts, and walking our dog in nature.
I’d be glad to meet your family and see how I can help.
