A perinatal care professional and Maternity Nurse for 11 years, I learned my craft where standards matter most: at the Geneva University Hospitals' Children's Hospital (HUG), in paediatric intensive care as well as neonatology, oncology and paediatric surgery, then in several private clinics in Geneva. Today, I bring that clinical rigour to families, day and night, so you can find sleep, confidence and peace of mind again.

Trained in France and Geneva, I deeply love a profession that combines medical rigour with human warmth. I come to you, at any hour of the day or night, with one goal in mind: to listen to you, reassure you, and move at your pace, on your terms — never imposing a method.

Becoming a parent is a life-changing shift, even when everything goes smoothly. I'm committed to being that steady, reassuring presence that lets you breathe, regain confidence, and fully savour these first moments with your baby. It's my calling, and I bring the same passion to every family I support.

I deeply believe that every family deserves support that respects their values, their rhythm and their choices. My role is not to impose a method, but to guide, support and give you the tools to gain confidence and serenity. Your well-being and that of your baby are at the heart of every gesture, every piece of advice, every shared moment.

My Services

Daily Newborn Care

Every gesture matters in the first months of life. I care for your baby with infinite gentleness and meticulous attention to every detail. From feeding to nappy changes, daily therapeutic baths to umbilical cord care, I ensure your newborn receives the best possible care in a soothing and safe environment.

My neonatology experience allows me to quickly identify your baby's specific needs and adapt my care accordingly. I don't simply perform tasks — I create a personalised routine that respects your child's natural rhythm.

  • Adapted feeding: breastfeeding, bottle, diversification — I adapt to your choices and guide you for calm and effective feeding
  • Skin care and hygiene: therapeutic daily bath, gentle nappy changes, cord care, nappy rash prevention with natural products
  • Continuous medical monitoring: temperature, breathing, colouration, eliminations — I detect the slightest sign requiring special attention
  • Face and eye care: gentle cleansing, cradle cap prevention
  • Nose and ear care with gentleness and precision

Day & Night Support

Sleep is one of the biggest concerns for new parents. I help you establish healthy sleep routines from the very first weeks, while fully taking charge of nighttime care so you can recover.

My nighttime interventions are discreet and effective: I handle wake-ups, nappy changes, bottles, and breastfeeding, while progressively creating the conditions for better quality sleep for your baby. You wake up rested, while your newborn has received all necessary care in the calm of the night.

  • Personalised sleep strategies: gentle techniques adapted to your baby's temperament, soothing rituals, optimal environment
  • Expert management of night wakings: discreet nappy changes, bottle or breastfeeding, rocking, identifying the causes of waking
  • Discreet night care: I watch over your baby without disturbing your sleep, managing crying, continuous monitoring
  • Progressive day/night routines: help with distinguishing day and night, adapted light exposure, gradual rhythm
  • Parent training: I pass on my techniques so that you gain independence and confidence

Development & Stimulation

The first months are crucial for your baby's cognitive, motor and sensory development. I offer age-appropriate stimulation activities at every stage of development, respecting your baby's rhythm and abilities.

From tummy time to sensory play, nursery rhymes to stimulating massage, every interaction is designed to foster their flourishing while strengthening the attachment bond. I don't just look after your baby — I actively accompany them in their discovery of the world.

  • Adapted sensory stimulation: visual, tactile and auditory stimulation by age, toys and objects suited to development
  • Educational games and interactions: nursery rhymes, reading, hand games, texture discovery, musical awakening
  • Tracking key milestones: social smile, grasping, rolling over, babbling — I guide you on normal developmental acquisitions
  • Tummy time and motor skills: progressive muscle strengthening, plagiocephaly prevention, motor development support
  • Quality time: I never leave a baby without appropriate and caring stimulation

Parental Support & Guidance

Becoming a parent is a wonderful yet sometimes unsettling adventure. I am there not only for your baby, but for you too. My role is to give you confidence, tools and know-how so that you find your own parenting style.

I answer all your questions without judgement, reassure you in moments of doubt, and teach you the essential gestures to help you gain independence. My support is caring, respectful of your choices, and always oriented towards your family's well-being.

  • Certified breastfeeding support: optimal positions, resolving difficulties (cracked nipples, engorgement, tongue-tie), weaning support if desired
  • Stress and baby blues management: empathetic listening, practical advice, referral to professionals if necessary
  • Safe environment: optimal bedroom layout, home safety, accident prevention
  • Understanding crying: appropriate responses, shaken baby syndrome prevention
  • Skills transfer: I teach you bathing, changing, babywearing and massage so you become independent and confident
  • Co-parent support: balanced involvement, task sharing, harmonious family dynamics

Therapeutic Thalasso Baby Bath

A unique and soothing experience that I offer as a qualified healthcare professional, for babies up to 1 month old. Immersed in water at the ideal warm temperature, baby rediscovers the sensations experienced in utero thanks to the movement of the water and the wrap.

Each bath is adapted to the child's rhythm and comfort, under my close supervision. Parents are invited to take part to strengthen this unique and precious bond. Far more than a care routine, it is a true "bath of emotions".

  • Ideal window (birth to 1 month): baby still retains the fetal position reflex, for maximum effect
  • In-utero sensation recreated: warm water, enveloping movement and wrap to recreate the comfort of the womb
  • Continuous professional supervision: supervised at every moment by a qualified healthcare professional
  • Far more than a care routine: a true moment of emotion and connection shared as a family

Baby Massage Workshop

I guide you step by step through learning baby massage, an ancestral practice with multiple benefits. You will learn simple, gentle and adapted gestures to relieve colic, promote peaceful sleep and strengthen the attachment bond with your baby.

Massage also stimulates blood circulation, the immune system, and your little one's sensory and cognitive development. A unique moment of closeness in a warm and caring atmosphere.

  • Colic relief: targeted gestures to soothe digestive tension
  • More peaceful sleep: a soothing ritual that promotes falling asleep
  • Physiological benefits: stimulation of blood circulation and the immune system
  • Sensory and cognitive awakening: touch actively stimulates your baby's development
  • You become independent: gestures learned so you can repeat them yourself every day

Together, we will establish suitable routines, strategies for managing wake-ups, and advice on co-sleeping, naps and the transition to a toddler bed. Professional, caring and accessible support, so the whole family can find peaceful sleep again.

  • Remote consultation: by message or video call, wherever you are
  • Tailored sleep routines: adapted to your baby's age and temperament

Babywearing Workshop

Babywearing is much more than a way to carry your baby around: it's a wonderful tool for bonding and soothing. I teach you how to choose and adjust wraps, slings and ergonomic carriers safely, at your home.

A carried baby cries less, sleeps better and feels reassured by closeness and movement. You gain freedom of movement in your daily life, while keeping your child close to you.

  • Safety first: correct physiological positioning, hip dysplasia prevention
  • The right carrier for you: woven wrap, sling or structured carrier, adapted to your baby and your body
  • Less crying, more calm: close contact soothes baby and regulates their heart rate
  • Everyday independence: tie your wrap on your own and carry with confidence, at home or out and about

Personalised Support For Your Baby and You

Allaitement

Certified Breastfeeding Consultant

Breastfeeding is natural... but not always easy. As a trained and certified breastfeeding consultant, I intimately know the challenges you may face: the crushing fatigue of the first weeks, pain that can be discouraging, constant questions about milk supply, positioning, and feed frequency.

I am here to listen without judgement, precisely identify the source of your difficulties — whether it's baby's positioning, latch issues, a restrictive tongue tie, or simply a need for reassurance. My goal? To make breastfeeding a moment of tenderness and connection, not a source of stress or guilt.

If you choose bottle feeding, I support you with the same respect and expertise. Your choice is the right choice.

Bains

Sensory Therapeutic Baths

This ritual can't be improvised: it requires constant medical supervision and a trained eye to spot the slightest tension in a newborn — expertise I bring directly from my years in neonatology.

I choose the place, the temperature, the time of day with you, taking into account your baby's own rhythm and sensitivity — nothing is standardised, everything is designed for them.

And because this moment shouldn't stay a one-off, I pass on the gestures so you can reproduce it yourself, safely, as often as you'd like.

Massages

Traditional Baby Massage

This isn't just a video tutorial I hand you: my experience in neonatal intensive care lets me immediately read your baby's signs of comfort or discomfort, and adapt every gesture to their build and temperament.

I stay available after the session to answer your questions, correct a gesture or reassure you — my goal is for you to massage confidently on your own, long after we've met.

Safety

In-depth medical training and intensive care experience for the safe care of your newborn, even if fragile or premature

Empathy

A caring and attentive approach, respectful of each family, your parenting choices and your unique rhythm

FAQ

Your questions, my answers

When to hire a maternity nurse?

Ideally during pregnancy to prepare for baby's arrival, or immediately after birth for complete support.

How much does a night nurse cost in Geneva?

The Discovery Night (12h, 8pm-8am) is 300 CHF. Discounted packages are available for multiple nights or a full week — see the Pricing section above.

What is the typical duration of service?

Varies according to needs: from a few days to several weeks, often 2-4 weeks to establish good routines.

Do you care for premature babies?

Yes, my neonatal experience allows me to specifically care for premature babies or those with special needs.

What is your availability?

I adapt to your needs: days, nights or 24/7 depending on the period, with planning established in advance.

What happens if you're unavailable or sick?

As an independent practitioner, I let you know immediately if anything comes up so we can find the best solution together for your family.

Do you offer packages?

Yes, weekly packages including day and night are available with advantageous rates.

Which cities around Geneva do you cover?

I travel throughout the canton of Geneva (Carouge, Lancy, Meyrin, Vernier, Onex, Thônex, Chêne-Bougeries, Cologny...), the nearby canton of Vaud (Nyon, Coppet), and neighbouring France (Annemasse, Saint-Julien-en-Genevois, Ferney-Voltaire, Gaillard).

What's the difference between childcare, a home nurse, and a maternity nurse?

Standard childcare watches the child without medical training, and a home nurse handles one-off medical care. Cocoonurse combines both: I'm a qualified pediatric nurse (puéricultrice) and Swiss Red Cross childcare assistant with 11 years of neonatal experience — bringing together supervision, care, and parental support in a single service, day and night.
