What is a Maternity Nurse?

Welcoming a new baby is exciting yet simultaneously stressful for first-time parents and working mothers. Maternity nurses tackle this issue by providing consistent childcare support and valuable advice.

Maternity nurses are responsible for looking after infants and attending to their daily and night-time needs. Responsibilities include feeding the baby, changing diapers, cleaning and bathing them, soothing emotional or physical discomfort, sterilising bottles, and other infant-related duties.

Nurses are commonly hired for up to 12 weeks as live-in childcare providers. They ensure the mother gets plenty of rest throughout the day and maintains a healthy sleep schedule.
