Meet Jennifer: A nanny in Zetland, NSW

Available from 10th May 2025 for night nannying, sleep consulting and 24 hour live-in postnatal care for newborns - 6 months.

Hi, I'm Jennifer.

I have been working with newborns, children and their families for over 24 years, assisting and educating parents in newborn care, feeding, sleep training and routine establishment.

In 2006, I qualified as a fully accredited Maternity Nurse from the Maternity Nurse Training College at Reading University and since then, have specialised in postnatal care for new families and gentle sleep training for babies aged 0 - 5 years.

My specialty has taken me to the UK, Europe, America, South America and Asia, having worked with an array of clientele - from European royalty, high net worth families, celebrities through to new mums and dads, seeking assistance in looking after the newest members of their family.

Prior to qualifying as a Maternity Nurse, I spent 9 years working as a private full-time nanny, looking after children of all ages, from infancy right through to 16 years of age. Throughout my career, I have cared for hundreds of singletons, 50+ sets of twins and two sets of triplets. If I were to add all the hours I spent living in with families, this would be well in excess of 70,000+ hours.

My passion is:

- To work with families to help make the transition from hospital to home as smooth as possible.

- Educate new parents on all aspects of caring for their little one.

- Offer an objective approach to developing healthy sleep habits that are age and developmentally appropriate for my clients’ needs, lifestyle and values.
