My Summary
Holistic And Gentle Maternity Nurse - Montessori, Rie/Pikler And Cache Trained
About Me
My name is Assya, and I am a Certified Montessori Teacher (0-3 years), a RIE/Pikler
Certified Nurturing Nanny, and an OCN Certified Maternity Nurse.
I specialize in providing night and around-the-clock care for newborns and infants,
guided by a holistic, respectful, and routine-oriented approach.
By day, I focus on ensuring that babies are well-fed and create a secure, stimulating, and soothing environment while assisting them in establishing consistent and predictable daytime
naps.
As babies grow and their weight and development allow, my goal is to gently
guide them toward sleeping through the night, fostering a safe and healthy sleep
routine.
As a maternity nurse, my role also involves providing advice and guidance to new
parents as they welcome a new baby and navigate the challenges of parenthood
during this transformative time.
If you are a new parent in search of well-deserved rest or if you are expecting a baby and would like support during the first few weeks postnatal, please do not hesitate to contact me.
I speak French and English.
I am a Gold Member so you can contact me for free.
Best regards,
Assya

Assya helped me the first weeks on my journey with a newborn and I was so much more at ease having her around. She brought a lot of professional advice on the breastfeeding journey as well as nights with a newborn. I was confident leaving my newborn with her and her guidance was really appreciated and helpful. I would recommend her to anyone who needs that extra confidence in this challenging new journey.

Assya was our baby's maternity nurse during his first 6 weeks of life. Her calm and knowledgeable approach brought a sense of peace and structure to our early parenting journey.
Her expertise in newborn care, breastfeeding, and establishing a healthy routine for our baby was incredibly helpful. She tailored her care to our unique needs and parenting style, which was reassuring.
Her well-organised approach allowed us to focus on our baby and my healing process. Assya is warm, gentle, and discreet. We highly recommend her and trust her wholeheartedly.

Assya has been looking after our 2 and a half years old son for the past 6 months, and I can not stress how glad we are. I hope you will find the below review useful.
- Assiya is well experienced and knowledgeable. Her methodology is backed with her years of trainings and studies, which become all obvious when you see her interacting with your child.
- She can always find myriads of ways to entertain and stimulate, even in difficult situation. Her communication with our son is top to none, and we always feel that there is a lot to learn from her. She also happily shares other tips and knowledge to help us raise, which have been very handy.
- She is professional, reliable and punctual, flexible with your demand, and most importantly fully dedicated whilst looking after our child, but still manages to sends us regular update (excellent multi-tasker)!
- It often feels like we work in partnership, and supportive to parents as well
- Lastly, she is sweet, gentle, soft spoken. Our son loves her, constantly asking for her, and so do we as his parents
She is the best nanny we have met, and I am sure you will feel the same

Assya was my family’s part-time Maternity Nanny in February and March of 2022, starting when my daughter was 3.5 months old and ending when she was 5.5 months old. We moved to Amsterdam at this time, but otherwise would have loved to continue working with Assya.
Assya worked two days a week for us and occasionally nights and weekends. She provided all care for our daughter while in our home, including feeding, playing/development activities, putting her down for naps/bedtime, changing nappies/bathing, and taking her outside for walks and to the park. Assya always made sure to follow our daughter’s schedule and was always on time and easy to communicate with. We immediately trusted her with our daughter in and out of our home.
We appreciated how proactive Assya was when it came to engaging our daughter. She would bring activities for her and would suggest books and toys that would be beneficial for her development. On the days that Assya worked for us, she would set up a play area for our daughter and spend much of the day engaging with her there. We were impressed with how attentive and thoughtful Assya was, and ourselves learned so much from her.
We absolutely loved having Assya as our daughter’s Maternity Nanny. She is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, calm, confident and kind, and most importantly, our daughter loved her. We often asked for Assya’s input on various aspects of our daughter’s development (such as sleep, weaning, teething, etc.), and Assya always had thoughtful suggestions for us, allowing us to feel empowered as first-time parents. Any family would be lucky to have Assya as their nanny.
