My Summary
About Me
Hello parents,
I'm a 35 year old highly experienced Newborn Care Specialist here to offer you support with your newborn through those sleepless nights. I have 15+ years of experience working with new borns and young babies. I am qualified as a maternity practitioner with heaps of amazing references. I am fully vaccinated.
I am also available for over the phone consultations to help you get little one into a routine and help with sleep training.
My Experience
I take a relaxed approach when it comes to giving advice and helping baby and parents get into a routine. I have dealt with all aspects of baby duties including but not limited to: helping parents settle into newborn life, settling into a routine, sleep training, feeding rouitnes, breastfeeding advice and follow on routine guidance. I have plenty of newborn experience, including many sets of twins. I have my Maternity Practitioner certificate, up to date DBS and up to date pediatric first aid. I have also worked with high profile families, so I know how to be descreet. I also have experience with phone consultations for those who are looking for more of a guidance to try themselves, rather than in person care.
I have a website also, so please do ask :)

[Context: Jojo was our maternity nurse for 8 weeks Monday to Thursday when our daughter was 2 weeks old.]
Jojo is a baby sleep expert, no question about it. She is extremely friendly (making for great handovers in the evening and morning), confident in her ability (proof is in the pudding! Keep reading...) and incredibly professional (arrived on time to the minute!).
By the end of the 8 weeks, our daughter was sleeping through the night (8pm to 7am). Whilst you never know exactly what “did the trick”, Jojo was a massive part of the routine implementation and change process. I was expressing for the night feeds so Jojo was solely responsible for dropping and reducing feeds gradually.
Jojo was also on hand during the day via WhatsApp to answer all of our questions related to sleeping and feeding based on her wealth of knowledge.
We can’t thank you enough, Jojo!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I contacted Jo about caring for our 3-month-old daughter for a three nights and was very glad I did. Luckily Jo was available and was a fantastic resource. Our daughter liked Jo from the very beginning and was at ease with her - settling down to sleep very well indeed.
Jo was super confident which was immensely reassuring for us as it was our daughter’s first night not co-sleeping with her parents.
As well as providing really attentive and considerate care, Jo also offered excellent constructive advice about sleep and feeding that have already made a substantial difference to our routine and sleep quality.
We’d definitely love to book Jo again, and she comes highly recommended from us.

Jo came to stay with my 3 month old for a few day while I traveled for work. From the minute we met on the phone I felt at ease and an instant connection. Jo came over to meet the family and everyone loved her immediately. She has a lovely presence and is very calm with the kids.
As I had a miscarriage before having my baby, it was very difficult for me to have to leave him. He has also had some health scares but I felt so calm leaving him with Jo. She was so open and communicated very well while I was away. She even got him to sleep with only waking once for a feed. I struggled to get him to nap during the day and Jo managed to help him have a better sleep routine.
I would highly recommend Jo and wish that we could have her full time.

Jo worked with us for 6 weeks over November / December 2022, looking after our newborn twins (boy and girl) from when they were one week old. The twins were born at 34 weeks, so we were super nervous because they were very small & just overwhelmed at trying to figure out how to look after multiples.
Jo was great - she gave us tips & tricks to manage twins & helped build our confidence. She helped create a routine which worked - we had the twins on a 4 hourly feeding schedule by week 3, and the baby girl was sleeping through the night by week 6. She has a very relaxed & fluid approach, tailoring her methods to suit the family. We also have a toddler & Jo was really excellent at helping us navigate the transition period with her.
I’d highly recommend Jo as a newborn care specialist… a must for any family with multiples!

We hired Jo two nights a week for five weeks, after a rocky first month with our newborn (7 weeks at the time) and struggling to settle in as a new family of four. She was great with him and taught us some valuable tips and tricks to help with settling him to sleep without rocking and with baby massage as he had a lot of wind and discomfort. Jo was very friendly, showed a lot of flexibility and was always happy to answer any questions on WhatsApp. She also provided us with a sample schedule to follow from 3 months. We’d definitely recommend Jo!
