What Families Say
"Kornelia was excellent with the
baby. She established a routine quite quickly,
creating a relaxed atmosphere in the
home. Her confidence in handling any issue came across very well (be it handling
illnesses, rashes, administrating medicines, vitamins, circumcision attendance and
post circumcision care, digestive challenges,
vomiting, as well as feeding and
breastfeeding challenges, making sure I got my rest and didn’t over exert myself, etc), enabling a comforting environment of control and calmness for both my baby and myself.
Kornelia was very
professional and polite in her overall conduct within our home, friendly yet kept appropriate boundaries. She also respected my, my
husband’s and my parent’s privacy and need for quality time with the baby, while
maintaining the baby’s need for predictability and routine. She also helped my two
daughters (5 and 3) assimilate to life with their new brother; she was patient with them, letting them be involved in his care when possible, and teaching
them how to be gentle.''

"I was exhausted from the night care of a newborn and the demands of two other children. I initially only booked her for a few nights as I wasn’t sure how much help it was going to be to me as I am breastfeeding, but I found her help immeasurably useful. She would bring my son to me to breastfeed and then whisk him away to be winded and settled back to sleep. He started going longer stretches at night in her care and by the time she left us he was naturally doing a 5-6 hour stretch at 6 weeks. It also meant that I could ‘turn off’ my mind from listening out for him at night, knowing he was in excellent care. Better quality of sleep for me had an incredible impact on my mood and outlook during the day."

"Within two days of her arrival she had our daughter in a routine and immediately installed a sense of calm and confidence in us. Kornelia certainly has a special something when it comes to understanding and connecting with babies. Thanks to Kornelia, my husband and I feel like we now have the confidence, knowledge and positive mentality to maintain a calm and happy family."

"My one piece of advice to new parents would be to get help if you need it, don't feel ashamed. Kornelia made me feel like I could cope with this new task of being a mum by helping me with practical and realistic advice and arming me with the tools to go it alone after she left. My husband and I have said on numerous occasions that getting her help was the best money we have ever spent."

"Kornelia gave me great confidence in my own abilities as a new mother. She has excellent judgment and knows when to offer help and advice, and how to deliver it in a supportive way. Since she left us we have been assisted by some other very helpful maternity nurses, but Kornelia is head and shoulders above the rest."

"Kornelia has a very positive attitude,
always offered advice when I asked about different ways and approaches not only for my baby son but also for my daughter. She managed the baby’s washing, kept me updated on development and milestones, she also advised us on bouncy chairs, slings, formula, and much more.
My baby was suffering from acid reflux and he was very colicky and gassy. Kornelia calmly explained how to deal with these problems, gently guided us and made my baby feel better, eat with ease and thanks to these techniques he also slept better. The first couple weeks his colic was quite bad and he didn’t sleep much, nonetheless Kornelia was upbeat and friendly.
Now at 13 weeks she managed to get him to sleep through the night from 8pm to 7am soundly.
During her time with us we had several nannies for a long term position on a trial and Kornelia did an excellent job helping me supervising them and explaining both of the children’s routines and needs.
Kornelia works with the family as much as with the baby and she tries to create a routine that will work best for you all.
Kornelia traveled with us numerous times during this period and managed the packing of the baby`s stuff but also made sure that he baby`s routine was kept in place. She adapted to new surroundings easily no matter how different they were. She is a pleasure to have around, but gives you and your family enough privacy in the same time."

"We were looking for a nurse who had experience in sleep training. Our initial objective was to help our baby to sleep through the night so that I could gradually resume my professional activities. It was clear that Kornelia had extensive experience in this which benefited my baby greatly. Our child started to sleep through the night after just six weeks which was well beyond our expectations.
I feel that she has actually guided me in my first months as a new mum. I felt much in control as a result and my baby is now settled into a happy routine. I am grateful for her extensive knowledge and experience.
My baby has always been very relaxed and calm with her.She has a methodical way of determining what routine suits the baby best. I believe my baby girl has had the best start in life thanks to Kornelia.
Kornelia standards are excellent. Finally, Kornelia is discreet and easy to live with."

"She had an expert knowledge of babies, newborns and preemies in particular in our case, their behaviours and issues and how to handle them. She gave me the kinds of reassurances that I needed, to know what was normal and what was not. Kornelia's manner was easy going, calm and cheerful. It was a pleasure to be around her and to learn from her."
E.S., London
"She adapted to our family and became a constant in our lives immediately. She is the most discreet person I have ever met. Kornelia's presence gave us so much comfort. With her warm nature, her flexibility, discretion and experience she is a godsend for any family with a newborn baby."
N.F., Basel
"After just four nights our baby learnt how to sleep through the night. In less than a week he went from waking up every hour screaming to falling asleep on his own. Kornelia is very friendly, professional, confident and calm - exactly the combination of qualities I wanted to see. Her help is an investment but it is worth every penny and the results are simply priceless."
H.S., London
"Kornelia always found the right balance between listening and taking onboard our thoughts on parenting a newborn, and sharing her experience. She has extraordinarily strong work ethics and is a very committed and hard working professional who puts a lot of heart and energy into her work. I would have loved to extend Kornelia's contract but unfortunately she was already booked on another assignment."
