My Best course - Being there for newborns

A maternity nurse course has opened new doors for nanny Elena
Amores, who is enjoying the rewards of supporting families both practicially and emotionally.

Experienced nanny and childcarer Elena Amores has completed two placements with twins since undertaking Babyem's Postnatal Maternity Nurse course.

She loves the emotional engagement that is required of a maternity nurse and finds the role a fascinating one. 'It is interesting to see how different families respond to the demands of a new baby and it is very rewarding to support them,' she says.

By undertaking the Level 3 Postnatal Maternity Nurse qualification accredited by OCN, Ms Amores has had the opportunity to add another string to her bow and take her career in a new direction.

According to training agency Babyem, the course is proving a boon for families who can't afford a nanny or who do not have family living nearby.
