Maternity Nurse in Zurich & Switzerland

I am an experienced maternity nurse based in Zurich, offering professional newborn and postpartum care to families across Zurich, Zug, Lucerne, and throughout Switzerland. I support parents during the first weeks and months after birth with hands-on newborn care, night nanny services, feeding support, and evidence-based guidance — so you can feel confident, rested, and supported from day one.

Welcoming a newborn is a beautiful but intense transition. Having experienced, professional support at home allows you to recover, bond with your baby, and settle into parenthood with reassurance and calm.

 

What Does a Maternity Nurse Do?

As a maternity nurse (also known as a newborn care specialist), I provide specialised support for families in the early postpartum period. My role is to care for your baby while also supporting you as parents — emotionally, practically, and through education.

My work combines hands-on newborn care with gentle guidance, helping families understand their baby’s cues, establish routines, and gain confidence in feeding, sleep, and daily care. Every family is different, and my support is always tailored to your individual needs and values.

 

My Maternity Nurse Services in Zurich

I offer flexible maternity nurse services for families in Zurich and across Switzerland, including:

• Daytime newborn care
• Night nanny and overnight support
• Feeding support (breastfeeding, bottle feeding, combination feeding)
• Newborn sleep guidance and settling techniques
• Bathing, hygiene, and daily newborn care
• Support with routines and gentle structure
• Parental education and reassurance
• Support for first-time parents and growing families

My approach is nurturing, evidence-based, and never rigid. I work alongside you, not over you.

 

Night Nanny & Overnight Support

Many families choose to book me as a night nanny in the early weeks. Overnight support allows parents to rest while knowing their baby is cared for by an experienced professional.

During the night, I take care of feeding, settling, and general newborn care, while also helping to gently support healthy sleep patterns where appropriate. This often makes a significant difference to parental wellbeing and recovery.

 

Areas I Work In

I am based in Zurich and work with families across:

• Zurich City & Zurich Oberland
• Zug
• Lucerne
• Other parts of Switzerland

I frequently support international and relocating families and am experienced in working in private households with discretion and professionalism. I offer my services in English and work with families from a wide range of cultural backgrounds.

 

My Approach to Newborn & Postpartum Care

My work is grounded in experience, education, and respect for each family’s wishes. I focus on:

• Evidence-based newborn care
• A calm, reassuring presence
• Gentle guidance rather than rigid “rules”
• Supporting parental confidence
• Respecting family values and parenting styles

The early postpartum period is not about perfection — it is about support, rest, and finding your rhythm as a family.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a maternity nurse and a night nanny?

A maternity nurse provides comprehensive newborn and postpartum support, which can include both day and night care, as well as parental education and guidance. A night nanny focuses specifically on overnight support. I offer both, depending on your needs.

How long do families usually book a maternity nurse?

Some families book support for just a few nights or days, while others choose ongoing care for several weeks or months. This depends on your recovery, support system, and personal preferences. I offer flexible arrangements where possible.

Do you work with international or English-speaking families?

Yes. I regularly support international families living in or relocating to Switzerland. I work in English and am experienced in adapting my care to different cultural expectations and parenting approaches.

Do you offer maternity nurse services outside Zurich?

Yes. While I am based in Zurich, I also work with families in Zug, Lucerne, and other parts of Switzerland. Travel and live-in arrangements can be discussed individually.

When should I book a maternity nurse in Switzerland?

Ideally, families book maternity nurse support during the first trimester of pregnancy to ensure availability, especially for night care. However, I am always happy to discuss last-minute requests if my schedule allows.
