Support for Multiples

Two babies. Twice the love, twice the load.

Twins, triplets, or more, multiples bring joy and exhaustion in equal measure. Support for Multiples is built around the reality of caring for more than one newborn at once, so you’re never doing double duty alone.

Everything about the newborn stage multiplies when there’s more than one baby: more feeds, more washing, more overlapping cries at 3am. There’s rarely a moment where both babies are settled at once, and even the simplest tasks, like showering or eating a meal, can feel out of reach.

With Nurture, it’s just me who comes to your home, an extra pair of experienced hands who understands that rhythm, whether that means holding one baby while you feed the other, or quietly working through the washing so you’re not stretched between two babies with no one to help.

How I can support you

Everything, thought of

Every visit is personalised. Together we’ll choose the support that’s most helpful for you during your booked time.

Two-at-once feeding support

Help managing overlapping or back-to-back feeds, whether breastfeeding, bottle feeding, or a mix of both.

Settling & soothing, doubled

An extra set of arms so one baby is never left crying while the other is settled.

Household support

Meals, washing, and tidying kept on top of, because with multiples there’s simply more of everything.

Rest, actually protected

Genuine breaks to shower, eat, or sleep, knowing both babies are being watched and cared for.

Older sibling care

Attention for an older child adjusting to sharing you with not one but two new babies.

Experience with multiples

Practical know-how around routines, feeding schedules, and the particular chaos that twins and triplets bring.

Is this you?

Who this is for

  • Parents of twins, triplets, or higher-order multiples
  • Families in the newborn weeks with no extra hands at home
  • Parents recovering from a multiples birth or caesarean
  • Households with an older child alongside new multiples
  • Parents wanting steady, ongoing help rather than occasional visits
  • Anyone feeling like there simply aren’t enough hands to go around

Why experience with multiples matters

Two babies needing you at the very same moment is a kind of tired most people will never understand. If you’re doing that impossible math in your head right now, wondering how you’re meant to be in two places at once, take a breath. This is exactly where I step in.

I’ve spent over 30 years around babies and young families, including plenty of nights and days where more than one baby needed me at the same time. I bring calm, capable help into your home built on real experience, not guesswork. I’m here for you and your babies right through that first year, not just the newborn weeks.

Michelle, Nurture Postpartum Support

With multiples, more hours upfront usually means steadier support. Most families find Recovery Support or Village Support gives enough hours to make a real difference. Funding through WINZ may also be available.

Good to know

Common questions

Do you have experience with twins or triplets?

Yes. Caring for more than one baby at a time is part of my 30-plus years of experience with babies and young families.

Which package should I choose?

It depends on how much support you need and for how long. Welcome Home suits a gentle start, Recovery Support is the most popular choice for steady ongoing help, and Village Support suits families wanting a fuller stretch of care. We’ll talk it through at your discovery call.

Can I book more than one night?

Yes. Overnight support can be booked across multiple nights, or combined with daytime hours through Recovery or Village Support.

Can I get funded support through WINZ?

Eligible families, including those with multiples or in a domestic emergency, may get help through WINZ’s Home Help. You apply directly, and once approved, you choose your own home helper, so you’re free to bring me in.

Not sure if this is the right fit?

That’s exactly what the discovery call is for. We’ll talk through where you’re at, and I’ll tell you honestly whether this is what you need.
