Life After Nannying: An Interview With Georgina, A Maternity Nurse

Charlotte, Charlie, and Millie sit down with Georgina, who has supported over 200 families,  to talk through her journey from nanny to maternity nurse — and everything in between. She speaks about the deep job satisfaction that comes from supporting new parents through the intense transition from couple to family of three. We discuss the realities of the role, the importance of empowering parents, and how teaching practical strategies — from establishing routines and winding techniques to knowing when to step back — helps families bond confidently with their new baby.Georgina reflects on upskilling and training, sharing that while she didn’t feel she needed a course, formal learning helped cement her chosen career path. She speaks honestly about how much of her learning came from hands-on experience rather than the classroom. She’s clear that CPD is important, but acknowledges that fashions and fads in baby care are always evolving.She also opens up about learning to keep an open mind and respect different parenting styles. Georgina offers practical advice on contracts, the pros and cons of nannying versus maternity nursing, the boundaries maternity nurses need to set, and the importance of peer support — including coffee mornings for maternity nurses.Podcast Links:Harmony at Home Maternity: https://harmonyathome.co.uk/childcare-services/maternity-services/Georgina’s email:[email protected] Emhttps://www.babyem.co.uk/Get in touch:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/your_nanny_network/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/145513705160641Email: [email protected]: https://www.yournannynetwork.co.uk/YNN Disclaimer:The content on our site is provided for information only.
