Dearest Beginnings

Newborn support from nannies with a midwifery or nursing background.

Temporary in-home support for the first weeks with your baby: overnight help, feeding routines and settling, and time for you to rest.

How it works

Support that fits your fourth trimester.

Placements can last a few nights, several weeks, or continue through the fourth trimester. Every nanny is screened, and their qualifications and experience are verified before they come into your home.

Why Dearest Beginnings

Experienced hands, right at home.

Experience

Confident with newborns

Our Dearest Beginnings nannies bring a background in midwifery or nursing and plenty of hands-on experience caring for newborns.

Reassurance

A calm, steady presence

A caring, unflappable nanny in those early weeks, so you can rest knowing your baby is in experienced hands.

Feeding

Support with feeding routines

Practical help with your chosen feeding routine, whether breast, bottle or both, including preparing and sterilising bottles.

Rest

Time for you, too

Overnight and daytime support so you can sleep, rest and enjoy the early weeks with your baby.

Sleep

Safe sleep and settling

Following current safe-sleep guidelines and your family's preferred settling approach.

Multiples

Twins and early arrivals

An extra pair of experienced hands for families with twins, or babies who arrived a little early.

Dearest Beginnings nannies are engaged in a nanny capacity and do not provide medical, midwifery or nursing care. For any health concerns about you or your baby, please contact your GP, midwife or child health nurse.
