Maternity Mum 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.
Hi my name is Cheryl, I am a qualified midwife now working as a maternity nurse and living in Yorkshire. My hobbies include reading, walking, travelling and spending time with my family and friends.
I have extensive training, education and experience working with parents and their newborn babies. I am organised, resourceful and I possess excellent communication skills. I am a compassionate, non-judgemental, dedicated person, who loves working with new mums.
Over my 20 years midwifery and maternity nursing career, I have had the privilege of caring for hundreds of parents and their babies. I love nurturing relationships between parents, families and their newborn babies.
I am passionate about delivering holistic care based on evidential research, empowering parents to make informed choices and fully supporting their parenting decisions.
As a mum myself I am aware of the importance for mums to rest and recuperate following childbirth and in the early postnatal period. I enjoy working with new families, offering guidance and practical and emotional support.
I thoroughly enjoy living and working within the household environment, allowing me to build relationships and provide professional one to one maternity care.
My own children are now living independently, allowing me the flexibility to pursue my career as a maternity nurse, working nationwide and overseas.
I am fully insured and have an enhanced DBS, a current paediatric first aid certificate, full driving licence and excellent references.
I feel honoured to receive an award from the UK Enterprise Awards 2021 for "Best Maternity Nurse."
"Happy Mum Equals Happy BABY"
One of the most important values which I adhere to, is that each client is unique and no situation is the same. Parents have different styles of parenting and different routines and schedules they set, which is why I am able to adapt to all of this. There are also health issues that need to be taken into consideration, such as postnatal depression. It is key that I provide the best possible service to every single one of my clients and their baby's.
Client satisfaction is something that is massively important, and the endless positive testimonials both on the website and Facebook Page are evidence that the services that I offer are professional. Along with excellent written and verbal references and recommendations from previous families.
