Empowering Parents,
Embracing Your Journey

Guiding you through the postpartum transition with tailored counseling and professional support.

Getting To Know me 

My name is Nicoleta Sandu, and I am a dedicated and compassionate Maternity Nurse with extensive experience supporting families throughout the newborn and postnatal period. With a calm, nurturing approach and a strong professional foundation, I provide personalised care tailored to the unique needs of each family, helping parents feel confident, supported, and reassured during this special stage of life.

I began my childcare career in 2006 as a Mother’s Help and quickly progressed into full-time nanny positions with sole-charge responsibility for children of all ages. Over the years, I have built strong and lasting relationships with families through my warmth, professionalism, creativity, and genuine commitment to children's wellbeing and development.

My passion for caring for newborns naturally led me to specialise in maternity nursing. As an experienced OCN Maternity Nurse Level 4 practitioner, I support families as they transition into parenthood, offering expert guidance in newborn care, feeding, sleep routines, maternal wellbeing, and the establishment of healthy family dynamics. By combining extensive hands-on experience with ongoing professional development, I deliver high-quality, evidence-based care tailored to each family's individual circumstances.

I am experienced in supporting breastfeeding mothers and helping families overcome feeding challenges with sensitivity, patience, and practical guidance. Working collaboratively with parents, I assist in establishing routines that align with their parenting preferences and lifestyle. I also recognise the importance of helping older siblings adjust to the arrival of a new baby, fostering a positive and inclusive environment for the whole family.

Known for my calm, professional, and approachable manner, I am particularly attuned to the emotional and practical needs of new parents. I adapt seamlessly to different family dynamics and home environments, providing both practical assistance and emotional reassurance when needed. Organised, proactive, and dedicated, I consistently strive to exceed expectations and ensure that every family feels supported, empowered, and cared for throughout their postnatal journey.

My advice and guidance are evidence-based, aligned with current NHS recommendations, and informed by many years of practical experience supporting newborns, parents, and families. I am committed to creating a nurturing, positive environment where both parents and babies can thrive.

Maternity Nurse Consulting

Professional guidance to navigate the emotional shifts and physical adjustments that come after childbirth.

I have extensive experience supporting newborn care, including managing baby allergies, bottle feeding, and providing in-depth breastfeeding support. I am confident in addressing common challenges such as breast pain, sore nipples, thrush, oversupply, and expressing and storing milk. I also have experience with colic, reflux, frequent and prolonged feeds, poor weight gain, and digestive concerns such as explosive stools. I work closely with families to establish effective routines, support sleep training, and guide the weaning process. I am proactive in troubleshooting any issues that arise, ensuring both baby and parents feel supported throughout.
