”We are absolutely delighted to write this  for Debbie, who provided us with maternity
nurse care following the birth of our first daughter, Marnie, in January 2025. From the moment she
arrived, Debbie became an invaluable part of our household, offering not only expert newborn
care but also the guidance, reassurance, and support that we, as first-time parents, so
desperately needed.
Debbie spent most of January with us as a family of three, and we can genuinely say that we don’t
know how we would have managed without her. Her presence allowed us to get some
much-needed rest, but her impact went far beyond that. She was instrumental in helping us
establish a feeding routine—guiding us through both breastfeeding and bottle-feeding, providing
advice on expressing milk, and even helping us navigate the confusing world of bottles, teats, and
sterilizers. She also introduced us to different settling techniques, demonstrated best practices
for bathing and changing, and offered practical advice on everything from baby clothing
essentials to nursery setup.
One of the qualities that makes Debbie truly exceptional is her flexibility and dedication. Our
daughter arrived two weeks later than expected, and Debbie seamlessly adjusted her schedule
to accommodate us. Even after her initial time with us ended, we found her support so invaluable
that we have since booked her for additional days. What’s more, she remains available to us even
when she’s not officially “on duty”—always happy to take a call or respond to a message when
we need her advice or reassurance.
Beyond her professional expertise, Debbie has brought warmth, kindness, and even a sense of
normalcy to our lives during this huge transition. She has been a pleasure to have in our home—
not just as a maternity nurse, but as someone we’ve enjoyed getting to know on a personal level.
We’ve shared meals (when time allows!), had conversations about life beyond newborn
routines, and she has encouraged us to continue living our lives as a couple while adapting to our
new role as parents. She has an incredible way of balancing the needs of the baby with the
emotional and practical needs of the parents, making sure we feel supported and empowered
rather than overwhelmed.
Debbie’s guidance has given us the confidence to trust our instincts while also learning from her
wealth of experience. She has a natural ability to offer direction when needed while also allowing
us the space to figure things out for ourselves. Thanks to her, we feel far more equipped as parents
than we ever thought possible in just a few short weeks.
We will always be grateful to Debbie for the role she has played in our early days as a family. She
will forever be a special part of Marnie’s life, and we cannot recommend her highly enough to any
parents looking for expert, compassionate, and truly dedicated maternity support.” Hannah

"Debbie was with us as a maternity nurse 3,2,3 days each week, respectively, for 3 weeks when our son was around 3 weeks old. Debbie was a real support in these early days and was a very reassuring presence. Debbie identified a feeding and sleeping pattern for our son. She ensured we sought the right help for our son’s tongue tie and reflux. She is very kind and caring. I was really appreciative of her guidance and encouragement and her ability to answer so many of the questions I had. She is clearly passionate about helping new mums and babies. I'd highly recommend Debbie to any new family." Jeremy R

"Well, what can we say? Debbie has been an absolute pleasure through every step of this new parent journey. She was a lifesaver in every sense of the word (when I had to go back into the hospital on day 3 post birth, I never worried for a second about our baby), supporting us through the most challenging but wonderful weeks of our lives. She has taught us everything we could have hoped for, setting us up for success after she has gone and has already got our baby into a routine. Debbie has also cared for us, cooking and cleaning, but most importantly, ensuring that my C-section recovery has been as seamless as possible despite many complications. She is gentle and caring with our baby Frida, who loves her. My only regret is that we didn’t book her for longer!” Olivia J

"We were lucky enough to find Debbie when our daughter was 3 weeks old. Initially, we were looking for a maternity nurse to help with gentle sleep training, but it soon became apparent that Debbie was able to offer so much more. Debbie is gentle, warm and friendly, with soft manners, and naturally has a maternal instinct. Debbie is flexible and happy to be parent/baby led, which was perfect for us as we did not want a strict routine (Ala Gina Ford). We worked with Debbie for 5 months and found her to be reliable and professional. We would be confident to recommend Debbie to families and parents.” Will

Debbie has worked with my family from the birth of my second son in September 2018 until January 2019. I had Debbie helping me when my first son was born, and so I knew exactly what to expect, and she did not disappoint! Debbie is a warm, caring and compassionate individual who cared fr us all when we were transitioning from a family of 3 to a family of 4, which can be quite daunting. Debbie has always been open and honest, and he advice is extremely valuable to me. She has helped me to establish a routine with both of my sons, with what seemed like very little difficulty. She keeps up to date with parenting studies and journals, and approaches everything with such confidence that it puts your mind at ease. I really cannot recommend her more to any expectant mothers or families looking for help and guidance with a newborn.” Kaajal

“I have been fortunate to have Debbie help me when both my kids were born. When I found out I was pregnant with my second child, Debbie was the next person to know after I told my husband- I needed to make sure she was available! I honestly do not think I would’ve gotten through the first five weeks without her. Not only did she help settle my toddler with the new baby and help with challenging night feeds, but she also became part of the family and helped me open up about my own anxiety and insecurities. Her wisdom and patience in the early weeks were invaluable as she helped set up a routine for both the kids, putting my husband and me at total ease. The best part is that after the 5 weeks, Debbie will still check in, and I can ask her anything! I will forever be grateful for Debbie and her grandchildren, facetiming my toddler, and I couldn’t recommend her enough.” Olivia s

“Debbie has supported me with both my babies, who are now 2 years old and 10 months. Her role in my family has been integral to helping me become a better, calmer mother to my two babies. She is the main reason I have been able to continue with my career.

-Empathy and awareness of her surroundings: Debbie has become part of not just my immediate family but has become a good friend and confidant for my mum and mother-in-law law and extended family.

-Breastfeeding & nursing: from very early on, Debbie gave me the confidence to continue breastfeeding. Her advice and support in this area have been truly valuable.

-Sleep training and advice: My son is now 2 and sleeps 12 hours a night, and my daughter, who is 10 months, is also sleeping well throughout the night. I can only thank Debbie for the support she has given us to ensure that the babies (and I) get a good night's rest. Debbie is just a godsend in that I was able to rest and enjoy those early motherly moments fully.

-Feeding” Debbie loves to bake! So she has made my son’s birthday cake and has been invited to every birthday of the babies in our family. She has supported me in the weaning of both my babies, offering advice and tips on what food and how to prepare it for the babies.

-Routine and development: I continuously routine with the babies, and she supports me in their development.

-Play area: Debbie has an exceptional creative talent and has organised the kids’ playroom and bedrooms with simple ideas. She has created a reading corner, arts and crafts corner and lots of other fun playtime activities with the. abies.

-Reflux: Debbie is very experienced in looking after babies suffering from reflux.

I am sure there is much more I could tell you about Debbie, but the truth will come from my babies, who absolutely love having Debbie around. She brings a smile to everyone’s faces.”Rupa

“Debbie helped me with my first baby, and after 6 weeks of her incredible baby whispering, we asked her to come back in December full-time. I honestly don’t know what I’d have done without her, and how anyone has a new baby without a Debbie in their lives. I was anxious and experienced post-natal depression, which Debbie quickly picked up on. My daughter also has silent reflux and a cow’s milk protein allergy, which was immediately diagnosed and managed by Debbie brilliantly when my nurse wouldn’t take it. Debbie also went above and beyond for my family and me who all loved her. She even helped my sister, who had problems breastfeeding for several hours one day, and then continued to follow up with her to make sure she was ok. We loved Debbie and feel like she’s part of our family. I want to recommend her just in case she isn’t available for our next baby! However, every new mum would be incredibly lucky to have her in their life, and I couldn’t recommend her any more highly. She is a joy to work and learn with, and we will never forget our time with the amazing Debbie.” Lauren R

“Debbie supported my husband and me for the month following the birth of our first child in April 2017. She arrived at our home less than 24 hours after we came home from the hospital and provided invaluable support over the next 4 weeks. Debbie helped us set up positive and sustainable routines with our son and really set us up well for the weeks ahead. She helped with everything from establishing breastfeeding to cooking meals, organising the nursery, and teaching us how to bathe the baby. Debbie was amazing at supporting us logistically but also emotionally through a difficult time. She had a pragmatic approach to breastfeeding and medical issues for both me and the baby. It’s hard to believe we’ve only known Debbie for a matter of weeks, as her warm and caring manner made us feel like she was a member of the family. I would recommend Debbie as a maternity nurse without hesitation. She made our first few weeks as a family much smoother, and we look forward to working with her again as our son grows.”Aditi

“Debbie came to us for a fortnight to assist with our second child in May 2020 and was an incredible help. I had initially re-booked my previous maternity nurse, who had to pull out at relatively short notice, and I was delighted that Debbie could squeeze us into her diary. I found Debbie to be incredibly knowledgeable, and she has a lovely manner with our son, whom I trusted her with entirely. Not only was she kind and compassionate with him, but she was very supportive of me. I hadn’t been expecting to breastfeed after my previous difficult experience, but Debbie’s knowledge and encouragement hugely helped me to establish breastfeeding. She helped me identify a tongue tie and worked tirelessly on trying to improve his latch. She took time to listen to my concerns and chat through my thoughts. Debbie was also very happy to pitch in around the house, which was hugely appreciated. She entertained our toddler when necessary, cooked dinners for us and helped with laundry, etc. I wouldn’t have any hesitation in recommending Debbie.” Katy

“Debbie had been very highly recommended to us as she had previously looked after babies in our extended family. She provided 24-hour support for us when our son was 6 weeks old, and she was an incredible help. Her experience and knowledge are vast, and she was able to support us as we adjusted to life with a newborn baby. We really appreciated that she took the time to understand our preferences (for example, regarding feeding) and provided help and advice accordingly; she never once tried to enforce any practices on us. It felt like having another member of the family in our home whilst she was here, nothing was ever too much trouble, and she encouraged us both to get some much-needed rest while she was looking after our son. We are extremely grateful for all of her help to date and will certainly keep in touch — thank you so much, Debbie!” Rishi

“Debbie worked for us from the 4th Nov 2021 to 4th Dec 2021, and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Here are some reasons why:

- flexible on dates. We needed to stay another night in the hospital, and she accommodated that
- organised our nursery for us, including where the babies’ clothes and nappies needed to go
- was kind, loving and caring to me and the baby. Helped my C-section recovery immensely 
- very easy to be around. Chatty and upbeat, but also disappeared off to give us space. She has a great sense of humour!
- wealth of knowledge due to vast experience. We always felt like we had a professional to guide us through firsts like first bath, etc. and helped us figure out the baby’s gas issues. Debbie always helped us figure out a solution
- helped establish my breastfeeding. Very encouraging, and I would have struggled without the support. Helped me understand my milk supply and how/when to pump
- baked us cookies and carrot cake!
- even after Debbie left, she continued to stay in touch, offering phone calls to help us with issues we were facing

We were very sad to see Debbie go, and we will definitely have her back in the future with a second baby. We have already recommended her to our friends.” Caroline Monet Goode.

“Debbie was recommended by a friend, and we feel very lucky to have had her as our maternity nurse for our first journey into parenthood. Not sure how we would have survived the first few days without her - she was great at showing us how to do things and building up our confidence as new parents, as well as looking after me post-c-section. She has also been really kind at keeping in touch with advice since - thank you for everything, Debbie. We have already recommended her to friends.” Lally

We couldn’t recommend Debbie highly enough! She stayed with us as a maternity nurse practitioner in London for our first baby in September 2024. We loved having her and ended up extending by several weeks. We trusted her with our baby from day one; it’s clear how much she genuinely loves her work. She was also great at making sure I were well taken care of both emotionally and physically, especially with a C-section recovery and breastfeeding struggles ( Tongue tie related). She was very proactive in getting help for any baby issues, eg when we were dealing with silent reflux. She is brilliant company to have in the house, very down-to-earth and flexible. We feel very lucky to have had her support, and she made the first newborn months feel much more enjoyable and helped us get more rest.” Catherine & Harry

Debbie has been looking after our triplets for just over a year. Ever since the first interview, we knew Debbie would be the right fit not only for us but also for our boys. She relished taking on the challenge of looking after triplets and was absolutely excellent at it. Debbie started working with us when the boys were only a few weeks old. She immediately understood our routines and was able to seamlessly fit in. She has offered us great advice on how we can improve certain things, specifically, fitting in. She has offered us great advice on how we can improve certain things, specifically related to the boys’ sleep and the many challenges we have faced with reflux and colic. Her advice has always been great, knowledgeable and without being pushy, always letting us still make the decisions with all the information. Debbie is great at keeping us informed on the boys’ progress each night and providing a recap of all the issues. Debbie has understood the boys' needs and always been ready to deal with all challenges. She has been very reliable and has never let us down, even in a number of emergency situations. Debbie is a great multitasker, extremely important with multiples, as different babies will have different needs at different times, and Debbie is always prepared for any eventuality. She can easily cope with multiples on her own throughout the night without waking us up unless there is something very serious. I would highly recommend Debbie to anyone with multiples, as she is fantastic. The boys are now a year old, and we still see Debbie regularly. We have always felt totally at ease and in good hands with Debbie in our house. She feels like part of the family now." Finlay

"Debbie is an exceptional maternity nurse. She helped us with our first baby girl, who was born prematurely by five weeks. Debbie managed to arrange her schedule so that she was with us a few days after bringing the baby home. She was patient, empathetic and thoughtful in teaching us how to take care of our babies and how to manage ourselves as new parents. She especially took care of me, cooking me, cooking me all sorts of delicious and nutritious foods to help with my milk supply, which was a challenge. She introduced us to experts when we needed to and made sure that by the end of her three months with us, we were confident to care for our baby in all respects. I would highly recommend her as a maternity practitioner.” Alexandra C

There is little Debbie can’t do! She has been with us for all 3 of our children and has become more than just professional support. Her warm personality is infectious and she is brilliant with kids of all ages, she is just as. attentive to the newborn as she is to the new mother and will help you in every way! I wouldn't have been able to do it without her. A true Blessing she is.” Krupa

Debbie is a complete and utter gem! We were lucky to meet her (and I have no doubt she will be in our lives for many months and years to come).

I am also an extended member of her fan club, and have been a member through her for a few months. I met Debbie when my third child was just 3 weeks old. I was looking for more support to help the weaning process work. I knew immediately that we would get on.

Her knowledge, compassion, understanding of general calm and loving demeanour all contribute to her being so special. There was absolutely no comparison between her and others whom I had previously used. I had struggled to breastfeed my first two children. I was coming into this third postnatal situation with my first girl, and I was scared I would struggle again and was even more afraid of the consequences. Three weeks in, I knew I would have given up then and there, or my mental state would have spiralled. I really didn’t want to give up, but the pain was just too excruciating. Although when it came to breastfeeding, she did not pressure at all, she wanted to help me achieve what was important to me.

Debbie was the only person whom I had seen (including midwives & health visitors) who recognised that my baby had a tongue tie and that both he and I were suffering from mouth & nipple thrush… hence the pain. She was extremely proactive and efficient and it was even during the interview, so we sorted out who would remove the tongue tie and the medication to go on for the thrush! I am forever thankful to her, and my dream of breastfeeding without pain actually happened… and now, four months later, my baby and I are such a good little team with feeding! Never thought it would be possible.

Having just had a third child, I also worried about the behaviour and reactions of my older two boys. Debbie provided much-needed reassurance, compassion & guidance in this respect too. She also helped me look after me, with so many worthwhile & practical suggestions – all of which I still follow.

I cannot recommend Debbie enough!
She is truly one of a kind, and all future employers are very fortunate to have their paths cross hers. She is completely trustworthy, very kind & reliable and has unending empathy, love and care.” Sarah H

“We would highly recommend Debbie to any parent. As new parents, we were very nervous about choosing someone to help us with our son, and we even cancelled Debbie last minute on her first planned visit! She was patient and understanding and gave us all the time we needed to feel completely confident, and we never looked back. She is both caring and professional, and our son thrives in her care. She has helped us to better understand his developmental needs and stages, guided us through weaning and allowed us to become better parents. She is also charming, informed and puts you at ease whether she is looking after our son day or night. We are delighted to have found her!” Emma

“Debbie was with us for 4 weeks, and from the moment she arrived, she made adjusting to a new life as a family of 4 much easier. Debbie is incredibly hardworking and was absolutely wonderful with our newborn, giving advice and guidance where required. She was also extremely patient and kind to our toddler, who struck up a great relationship with her, and continuously asked ‘Where's Debbie gone?’

I had to go to the hospital a few times. Debbie accompanied me with my newborn and looked after him whilst I was having procedures. It was a relief knowing he was in good hands. She is incredibly knowledgeable about diet & nutrition, and immediately on arrival with us set about making sure I was eating the correct things to help with breastfeeding and taking the right supplement following my hospital visits. Debbie is absolutely lovely, easy to chat to and get along with and fitted in at home like she was part of the family, she is sorely missed! I have no hesitation in recommending her to others, whether it be a first child or subsequent children.” Camilla R

“ Debbie is an extremely experienced carer of young babies and immediatley put my mind at rest. Debbie is very knowledgeable and incredibly supportive and carries herself very professionally whilst comforting and caring for the whole family during this new chapter in our lives.” Esther

“Deborah came to us when our second daughter was 6months and I cannot emphasise enough the extent of her positive impact-not just on the bay but the wider household. She arrived as things were a bit fractious to say the least, and left behind her a much more harmonious and cohesive setup, and a sleeping baby!! We are still reaping the benefits of her influence, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. She used her skill and considerable intellect, and intuition to look at the whole picture to find out exactly how to best improve our household. In many ways, she looked after the well-being of the whole family unit and was very clever in deciphering what was needed.” Jeanne B

“It is with great pleasure that I am writing to recommend Debbie Creba for the position of maternity nurse. I recently employed Debbie to assist me following my C-section, as I already have a 3-year-old, and my husband was unfortunately unable to take any time off work following the birth. Debbie was absolutely fantastic in every respect. She was incredibly supportive and encouraging in assisting me with breastfeeding. She knew when it counted — helping our son adjust to suddenly having a little sister. She is very intuitive, and she always has a solution to any problem that might arise. She fitted seamlessly into the family, and I can genuinely say I missed not having her around when she was gone. If I ever have another child, unlikely as this is at my age, I will definitely be calling on her services again! I would be more than happy for you to phone or email me should you require any additional information.” Lydia
