Advice on hiring a maternity nurse

28 replies

I am thinking of hiring a maternity nurse when DC2 arrives in February.

I am using an agency and not sure if they are just being pushy, but according to them, now is the time to look as people get booked up really early.

Wondering if anyone has any pointers for the interview (someone coming next weekend) and anything I should be looking out for?

The lady I am interviewing seems quite flexible and has said she could stay on as a day nanny for a few weeks after I feel I no longer need help 24hrs a day.

She has also said she will help with my DS1 which I know some won't do.

Any advice gratefully received

I used Deearna as well. She was absolutely amazing. Very easy to get along with and we had a very happy little girl in her hands. Even sleeping through the night by 5 weeks old!! (with a dream feed or two of course). Good luck with it all.

This is a chat forum not a site for reviewing maternity agencies.
So you are angry, but as you admitted the agency in question sought to resolve the issue. You say partly resolved so I am guessing you didn't get a full refund.
