Testimonials

"As a qualified Registered Comprehensive Nurse and mother of three Virginia was and continues to be a trusted, impartial and excellent source of support for us. More than anything it has been the sheer peace of mind she brings through the sharing of experiences. Virginia recognises that every baby is different and will not judge or force any one train of thought. Instead you discover what is best for you and your baby together.

Virginia visited me at home on five occasions where we covered everything from breast feeding, immunization, sleep and feeding routines, crying cues, basic first aid, managing advice from family members, the helper’s role in the family, travelling abroad with a baby, tracking our baby’s weight gain, and where to buy the cheapest nappies from!

However, her support did not stop there. Virginia (without prompting) has been very thoughtful proactively calling to follow up and see how our daughter is doing. Throughout this time no question has been too trivial or silly to ask. She has made us feel very comfortable, relaxed and confident in what we are doing and feeling. This in turn has led to a very calm and contented baby who, at 3 months, is sleeping through the night.

However much you read the reassurance you get from having access to a real person just a phone call or home visit away is invaluable! Virginia is kind, friendly and approachable and I would highly recommend her services - especially to first time mums!"
