Beth has completed courses in advanced breastfeeding, care of multiples, premature babies, reflux and allergies allowing her to advise using the very latest advances and approaches to newborn care. Beth has an array of transferrable skills gained from previous roles with Nurseries and as a Nanny, allowing her to advise on each stage of a baby’s development and expertly support each milestone.
Highly experienced in the childcare professional, Beth offers exceptional Maternity care with her invaluable experience.
