Maternity Mum Agency was established by Cheryl Foster to create a professional and personal maternity nurse service providing specialist postnatal care for new parents, living in the UK and overseas.

​

Over my 20 years career as a midwife and maternity nurse, I have had the privilege of caring for hundreds of mums and their newborn babies. I love nurturing relationships between parents, families and their babies.

​

As a mum myself I am aware of the importance for mums to rest and recuperate following childbirth and in the early postnatal period and the many benefits of having an experienced, knowledgeable maternity nurse to offer guidance and support.

​

I am organised, resourceful and dedicated to helping families find their perfect maternity nurse.
