Caring for babies and supporting families isn’t just something I do — it’s part of who I am. I’m the granddaughter of two wonderful women who spent their lives as childminders, and from them I learned that care is more than safety or routine. It’s about presence, patience, and the quiet, meaningful art of nurturing.

Like many people with a natural gift for caregiving, I was encouraged to pursue more “traditional” careers. I studied law for two years, working part-time as a childcarer alongside my studies. But no matter how far I strayed, I was always drawn back to the deep sense of purpose I found in supporting children and families.

In 2018, I moved from Paris to London and began working closely with families during their babies’ earliest months. I supported first-time parents through postpartum recovery, built trust with families experiencing postnatal depression, and witnessed first-hand how transformative calm, responsive care can be.

Since then, I’ve supported more than 170 families across London — each with their own rhythms, stories, and needs. My practice combines this hands-on experience with a strong foundation in evidence-based training:

• NCFE CACHE Level 3 qualification as Early Years Practitioner

• OCN Level 5 qualification as Maternity Nurse

• OCN Level 6 qualification as Sleep Practitioner

This blend of knowledge and lived experience shapes everything I do — from soothing a colicky newborn to helping exhausted parents reclaim sleep and confidence.

My approach is grounded in the belief that support should never feel rigid or prescriptive. Instead, I focus on creating rhythms, building trust, and empowering families with gentle, realistic strategies that respect their baby’s development and unique temperament.

At the heart of La Câlinerie is a simple philosophy: care is never one-size-fits-all. The most meaningful work often begins quietly — in the first days, months, and years of your baby’s life — with a little support and a lot of heart.

If you’re welcoming a new baby or navigating the early stages of sleep and development, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you on that journey.
