The duties of a Maternity Nurse v Night Nanny are the same, the only main differences being that a Night Nanny may not necessarily hold a Maternity qualification and not be so  exclusive to just to looking after newborns.

  • Supporting Mum with her newborn (sometimes as soon as they leave the hospital)
  • Helping Mum develop a routine and sleeping pattern
  • Help Mum gain some rest and sleep

Cost Of Maternity/Night Nanny: Maternity staff are self employed and set their own rates, as a guideline £150.00 – £200 per night / £25.00 per hour, they would also require a deposit to secure their booking. They usually work 8-12 hour shift patterns, arriving in the evening and leaving the following morning, they are usually booked for 3-4 weeks, although some bookings go up to around 3 months, depending on Mums needs. The cost will increase if they are looking after twins/triplets, offering 24 hour care or if they are  required to relocate abroad for the booking.
