Daily Maternity Nurse

A daily maternity nurse is the ideal solution for families looking for support with their newborn but who don’t wish to have someone living in their home.

A daily maternity nurse usually works eight-12 hours per day with some flexibility. Like traditional 24-hour maternity nurses, daily maternity nurses are all self-employed. They charge a gross hourly rate from which they settle their own taxes and insurance. Our daily maternity nurses are renowned for their professionalism and knowledge.

✦ Professional daytime support — typically 8–10 hours per day (e.g. 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM), working in your home and leaving each evening. Expert care, guidance, and practical help throughout the day — your evenings remain yours.

✦ Feeding guidance & support — helping establish healthy feeding patterns; advising on positioning, latching, supply, and routine. Monitoring weight gain and nappy output with professional knowledge and reassurance.

✦ Routine-building & care — bathing, dressing, cord care, skin health, and establishing gentle daily rhythms. Demonstrating safe sleep, handling, and soothing techniques so you learn alongside them.

✦ Practical household help — nursery care, bottle preparation, sterilising, laundry, and keeping everything organised. So you can focus on rest and bonding rather than chores.

✦ Education & confidence-building — teaching you every skill as they work. Questions welcomed, procedures explained, guidance personalised to you. By the day they leave, you feel fully capable and confident.

✦ Fully qualified & vetted professionals — NNEB, NCS, or equivalent maternity qualifications; personally interviewed, DBS-verified, reference-checked, and trained in infant first aid, safeguarding, and safe sleep guidelines.

Daily maternity nurses charge £18 – £25 gross per hour for single babies. £20 – £35 gross per hour for twins. £20 – £40 gross per hour for triplets.
