About Me

Hi, I’m Danae Orajiaka, a dedicated and passionate childcare provider, doula, and part-time nanny with a wealth of experience in maternity and early childhood care. As a mother of two—one in school and a baby who accompanies me when nannying (Nanny with Own Child - NWOC)—I truly understand the joys and challenges of motherhood.

My background in maternity services and midwifery has given me in-depth knowledge of pregnancy, birth, postpartum recovery, and infant care. As a former student midwife and maternity support worker, I have supported countless women with:
• Infant feeding advice (breastfeeding positions, skin-to-skin, combination feeding)
• Antenatal education (preparing for birth, newborn care, postpartum recovery)
• Emotional support (empowering and reassuring mums through every stage)
• Smoking cessation (helping expectant mothers make positive health choices)

In addition to my maternity experience, I hold a Level 2 qualification in Caring for Children and Young People and have hands-on experience working in a preschool setting, supporting early childhood development.

My Services
• Postpartum Doula Support – Practical help so mums can rest & bond with baby
• Babysitting – Reliable and caring childcare for your little ones
• Part-Time Nanny – Flexible childcare with my baby accompanying me
• Infant Feeding & Sleep Support – Advice and reassurance for new mums

I am passionate about supporting, empowering, and advocating for women throughout their journey into motherhood. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and judgment-free environment where parents feel confident, supported, and cared for.

I’d love to chat and see how I can support your family! ?
