I’m an early infancy professional specialising in newborn care, affording parents the respite they need overnight. I can come into your home to assist you and your baby and give you a good nights rest. You sleep, and I’ll be making sure your baby is content, healthy and safe.
What I offer
Maternity Night Nanny (otherwise known as night nurse or newborn care specialist) service is a way you can get some support and most importantly sleep during the night. I come in and supervise your little baby (or babies if you have multiples), taking over settling the baby, feeding – whether delivering to baby’s mother for breastfeeding or preparing bottles. This allows your family to have a restorative sleep, knowing your baby is well cared for.

How the Newborn Program Works
This program is designed around the natural developmental stages of newborn sleep.
Stage One: Foundations & Parental Recovery
The program begins with five nights of overnight support, where Raquel observes your baby’s rhythms, supports overnight settling, and supports the early development of healthy sleep patterns. Parents are able to recover from exhaustion while learning how their baby sleeps best.
During this time Raquel helps establish:
• a healthy day/night rhythm
• appropriate awake windows
• early settling patterns
• a calm and predictable bedtime routine
Guidance is also provided through Raquel’s RIE-informed lens of respectful caregiving, helping parents better understand their baby’s cues and temperament.
Coaching also includes support around:
• feeding rhythms
• daytime pacing
• caring moments such as dressing, bathing and settling
Play is also considered an integral part of healthy development and sleep. Parents are guided in creating calm, developmentally appropriate play opportunities that support regulation, engagement and a healthy build-up of tiredness across the day.
Stage Two: Sleep Consolidation
At the end of the program Raquel returns for five further nights of overnight support to consolidate the progress made during the coaching period.
By this stage, many babies are developmentally ready for longer overnight sleep stretches. The focus shifts to:
• strengthening bedtime patterns
• reducing unnecessary night waking
• helping babies settle and resettle with confidence
• guiding your baby toward sleeping through the night where developmentally appropriate
