The calm, capable hands every family could use
I’m Michelle. With over 30 years of newborn and childcare experience, I bring a steady pair of hands and a warm practical approach to helping families at home. Whether you’re settling in with a new baby, keeping up with little ones or needing some breathing space, I’m here to lend a hand. From caring for your children to helping with meals and everyday household tasks, we’ll work out what would make life easier for you. Once we meet, you’ll understand why families keep asking me back.
Every family has times when an extra pair of hands makes all the difference. A new baby, busy toddlers, a return to work or simply too much to juggle. With over 30 years of newborn and childcare experience, I bring calm, practical support to help lighten the load. I take the time to get to know you, your children and how your household works. That might mean setting your baby while you rest, keeping little ones busy, preparing dinner or catching up on the everyday jobs. We’ll shape each visit around what would help you most.
Having someone you feel comfortable with in your home matters. Someone who listens, respects how you do things and gets stuck in without you having to organise every little task. That’s the kind of support I want Nurture to be for your family.
Think about what it meant, once, to have a grandmother or an aunty living close by: someone who’d let herself in with an armful of groceries, take the children without being asked, and simply know what to do. That’s the feeling I bring into your home: getting stuck in, quietly and confidently, the way family used to.
A little breathing space. A helping hand. Support for your family.
What I bring into your home
Real experience, not theory
Decades in the room with babies and young families. I know what actually works because I’ve already seen it work.
Unshakeable calm
3am feeds, meltdowns, chaos, none of it rattles me, and that steadiness rubs off on the whole house.
A whole-family view
I look after everyone in the house, not just the newest arrival, because that’s what actually helps a family recover.
Genuine, unhurried warmth
I’m not clock-watching or ticking boxes. I care about the families I work with, and it shows in every visit.
Hands that get stuck in
Meals, washing, settling, feeding, whatever actually needs doing gets done, without you needing to ask twice.
Here for the long haul
Not just the newborn blur, I’m here for you and your baby right through that first year.
