Peaceful Nights
Experienced overnight newborn care so you can rest, recover and wake feeling reassured that your baby has been cared for with warmth and attention.
Serving families throughout the Cotswolds and surrounding counties with thoughtful daytime and overnight maternity support tailored to the individual needs of each baby and family.
Every baby is unique, and every family finds its own rhythm. My role is to care for your newborn while offering the reassurance, practical guidance and calm presence that can make the early weeks feel more manageable and more enjoyable.
Experienced overnight newborn care so you can rest, recover and wake feeling reassured that your baby has been cared for with warmth and attention.
Guidance and reassurance with feeding, gentle sleep routines, bathing and settling — with calm, personalised support tailored to your newborn.
Professional care in your own home while you enjoy time together or attend an important occasion, knowing your baby is in experienced hands.
I am a Private Maternity Nurse and Newborn Care Specialist with an extensive professional background in maternity nursing, private childcare, baby-room leadership and nursery management.
My approach is warm but professional, practical but never prescriptive. I support parents with confidence and respect, adapting to the baby, the family and the rhythm of the home.
My work is focused on the newborn and nursery-related care. I do not offer general housekeeping or long-term nanny duties.
Family life, personal information and household matters are treated with complete discretion and respect.
Care is tailored to your baby’s needs and your family’s preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
I work respectfully within the home, maintain clear professional boundaries and adapt naturally to household protocols.
Parents receive clear, reassuring and practical guidance, always with respect for their own decisions and instincts.
“From the moment Shelly joined our family, she brought a calm, reassuring and highly professional presence that immediately gave us confidence.” Recent private maternity placement
