Our Testimonials

”Cristina is an incredibly caring soul, whose sensitivity and gentleness helped me through a very difficult time with post-natal depression. Her confidence in me, helped me to overcome some of the issues I was having.“

- Mrs. H

”Very knowledgeable with her long experience of looking after babies and would very happily answer my questions long after she left us. She helped us with routine, reflux and eczema. Tristan is now a very happy 9 month old who sleeps through the night and has a good daytime routine with a proper 2 hour nap which Cris did a lot to set up.“

”Perfect with our baby. It is difficult to imagine a better maternity nurse than Cristiana!“

- Mrs L.B.

”My husband and I were shell shocked by responsibility of our new daughter but Cristiana quickly put us at ease and she is the reason we survived! She taught us how to do everything from feeding, winding, bathing, to even how to hold a baby. Our daughter Blake was a challenging baby, suffering with terrible reflux. Cristiana was the one who noticed she was showing the signs of reflux and urged me to take her to the GP who confirmed Cristiana’s suspicions. Cristiana helped us figure out the right combination of medication and formula that would work best for our daughter, as there were many trials due to her severe reflux, a dairy allergy, and a terrible reaction to one of the medications. We also had to feed our daughter every 2 hours so sleeping was not an option, which is where Cristiana was also invaluable to our sanity. Over the 12 weeks she helped us develop a very easy routine for our daughter. All of my friends called her our baby whisperer. Cristiana has a very calm, nurturing presence and knows everything about babies! She is at the top of her field and I have not found another maternity nurse who can compare. We also asked Cristiana to come back to help with our twins in May 2015. Cristiana handled twins as easily as one baby and noticed (again) one of our babies had reflux, which the doctor confirmed.“

”Professional, knowledgeable, very passionate about her job, wonderful to have around.“

- Mrs B.

”In my opinion, Cristiana has a natural rapport with babies. She is enormously empathetic, but at the same time encouraged us to follow an appropriate routine. I found Cristiana to be calm, conscientious and professional. She clearly takes pride in her work and is totally unfazed by difficult babies and situations. When she worked for us, Cristiana was one of the very few people with whom I was prepared to leave my daughter.“

- Mrs S.A.

”Reliable, knowledgeable, good advice but not pushy, warm and caring.“

- Mrs S.P.

”Cris has years of experience which we benefited from greatly. When she first began working with us, our daughter was going through a tricky time and unwilling to be held by anyone besides mum. We call Cris ‘the baby whisperer’ because our daughter took to her immediately. I believe Cris has a special gift with babies; she has an uncanny ability to calm them, entertain them and make them feel safe. I appreciated Cris so much in those early days because I was able to sleep, take a walk and get some personal time with full confidence that my daughter was happy and in good hands. Cris offered so much advice and encouragement throughout the past months that I came to rely on her as a wise friend. While with us overnight, Cris did bath time (and gave us great tips that made such a difference for us!), fed and changed her, and watched her so that we could get a good night’s rest or a quick evening out. Cris gently encouraged us to go to dinner and get out together without the baby, which I really appreciated. Cris came back for a short time once our daughter was a bit older. During this time, she provided invaluable advice and support in the weaning process. She sent me a sample meal-plan and helped cook and freeze meals. Perhaps the greatest impact Cris has had on our family was her sleep training guidance! Thanks to Cris, our daughter went from being unable to fall asleep on her own and unable to sleep for more than three hours at night to self-soothing and sleeping six hour stretches. Sleep training can be quite controversial and often a traumatic experience for parents and baby. Cris talked to me about her approach at length before proceeding, and I felt 100% confident in her gentle methods. Overall, Cris has been a blessing in our lives. She is kind, thoughtful, pleasant to be around, gifted with babies and supportive. She takes her role quite seriously and is professional and responsible at all times. It is not an exaggeration to say that I cannot imagine how these first six months would have gone without her.“
