This role focuses on the health and well-being of both mother and baby during the critical post-birth period, allowing families to rest and build confidence in their new roles. The primary duty is the newborn’s care without responsibility for other children in the household, making the maternity nurse’s presence invaluable during this special time.
The salary of a Maternity Nurse depends greatly on the agreed-upon schedule, living arrangements and qualifications. On average most Maternity Nurses earn between £400 – £700 per day.
