Therapeutic baby bath at home, Geneva
Newborn care at home, Geneva Newborn care at home, Geneva

A perinatal care professional and Maternity Nurse for 11 years, I learned my craft where standards matter most: at the Geneva University Hospitals' Children's Hospital (HUG), in paediatric intensive care as well as neonatology, oncology and paediatric surgery, then in several private clinics in Geneva. Today, I bring that clinical rigour to families, day and night, so you can find sleep, confidence and peace of mind again.

Trained in France and Geneva, I deeply love a profession that combines medical rigour with human warmth. I come to you, at any hour of the day or night, with one goal in mind: to listen to you, reassure you, and move at your pace, on your terms, never imposing a method.

Becoming a parent is a life-changing shift, even when everything goes smoothly. I'm committed to being that steady, reassuring presence that lets you breathe, regain confidence, and fully savour these first moments with your baby. It's my calling, and I bring the same passion to every family I support.

“I deeply believe that every family deserves support that respects their values, their rhythm and their choices. My role is not to impose a method, but to guide, support and give you the tools to gain confidence and serenity.”

My Services

Sleep Training

For babies from 0 to 6 months, I support families who want calmer nights, with a gentle, flexible and progressive approach built together with you. I combine daytime presence, nighttime presence and remote follow-up, without ever leaving baby to cry alone and without imposing a single method.

With a very young baby, I observe their rhythms and help you set gentle markers; with an older baby, we can build more structure, always at your pace. Night feeds stay adapted to your baby's needs, whatever the feeding method, and my visits include real rest time, not round-the-clock presence. This support complements, but never replaces, your pediatrician's advice.

  • From 0 to 6 months: an age-adapted approach, from observing a newborn to building more structure later on
  • Never alone with their cries: a reassuring presence at every step, with no single method imposed
  • Built together with you: a daytime assessment, a flexible personalized plan, ongoing adjustments
  • Days, nights and remote follow-up: I apply the plan with you, with real rest time built in
  • Progressive handover: I support you until you can confidently take over

Daily Newborn Care

Every gesture matters in the first months of life. I care for your baby with infinite gentleness and meticulous attention to every detail. From feeding to nappy changes, daily therapeutic baths to umbilical cord care, I ensure your newborn receives the best possible care in a soothing and safe environment.

My neonatology experience allows me to quickly identify your baby's specific needs and adapt my care accordingly. I don't simply perform tasks, I create a personalised routine that respects your child's natural rhythm.

  • Adapted feeding: breastfeeding, bottle, diversification, I adapt to your choices and guide you for calm and effective feeding
  • Skin care and hygiene: therapeutic daily bath, gentle nappy changes, cord care, nappy rash prevention with natural products
  • Continuous medical monitoring: temperature, breathing, colouration, eliminations, I detect the slightest sign requiring special attention
  • Face and eye care: gentle cleansing, cradle cap prevention
  • Nose and ear care with gentleness and precision

Day & Night Support

Sleep is one of the biggest concerns for new parents. I help you establish healthy sleep routines from the very first weeks, while fully taking charge of nighttime care so you can recover.

My nighttime interventions are discreet and effective: I handle wake-ups, nappy changes, bottles, and breastfeeding, while progressively creating the conditions for better quality sleep for your baby. You wake up rested, while your newborn has received all necessary care in the calm of the night.

  • Personalised sleep strategies: gentle techniques adapted to your baby's temperament, soothing rituals, optimal environment
  • Expert management of night wakings: discreet nappy changes, bottle or breastfeeding, rocking, identifying the causes of waking
  • Discreet night care: I watch over your baby without disturbing your sleep, managing crying, continuous monitoring
  • Progressive day/night routines: help with distinguishing day and night, adapted light exposure, gradual rhythm
  • Parent training: I pass on my techniques so that you gain independence and confidence

Stimulation, Development & Parental Support

The first months matter as much for your baby's development as for your own confidence as a parent. I offer age-appropriate stimulation activities at every stage, while staying available to answer your questions, without judgement, at any time.

From tummy time to sensory play, from breastfeeding support to baby blues management: my support covers your baby's development as much as your own peace of mind.

  • Adapted sensory stimulation: visual, tactile and auditory stimulation by age, toys and nursery rhymes
  • Tracking key milestones and motor skills: tummy time, grasping, rolling over, plagiocephaly prevention
  • Certified breastfeeding support: optimal positions, resolving difficulties, weaning support if desired
  • Listening and support without judgement: stress and baby blues management, teaching gestures (bathing, changing, babywearing, massage)
  • Safe environment and co-parenting: bedroom setup, accident prevention, balanced involvement of the co-parent

Therapeutic Thalasso Baby Bath

A unique and soothing experience that I offer as a qualified healthcare professional, for babies up to 1 month old. Immersed in water at the ideal warm temperature, baby rediscovers the sensations experienced in utero thanks to the movement of the water and the wrap.

Each bath is adapted to the child's rhythm and comfort, under my close supervision. Parents are invited to take part to strengthen this unique and precious bond. Far more than a care routine, it is a true "bath of emotions".

  • Ideal window (birth to 1 month): baby still retains the fetal position reflex, for maximum effect
  • In-utero sensation recreated: warm water, enveloping movement and wrap to recreate the comfort of the womb
  • Continuous professional supervision: supervised at every moment by a qualified healthcare professional
  • Far more than a care routine: a true moment of emotion and connection shared as a family

Baby Massage Workshop

I guide you step by step through learning baby massage, an ancestral practice with multiple benefits. You will learn simple, gentle and adapted gestures to relieve colic, promote peaceful sleep and strengthen the attachment bond with your baby.

Massage also stimulates blood circulation, the immune system, and your little one's sensory and cognitive development. A unique moment of closeness in a warm and caring atmosphere.

  • Colic relief: targeted gestures to soothe digestive tension
  • More peaceful sleep: a soothing ritual that promotes falling asleep
  • Physiological benefits: stimulation of blood circulation and the immune system
  • Sensory and cognitive awakening: touch actively stimulates your baby's development
  • You become independent: gestures learned so you can repeat them yourself every day

Together, we will establish suitable routines, strategies for managing wake-ups, and advice on co-sleeping, naps and the transition to a toddler bed. Professional, caring and accessible support, so the whole family can find peaceful sleep again.

  • Remote consultation: by message or video call, wherever you are
  • Tailored sleep routines: adapted to your baby's age and temperament

Babywearing Workshop

Babywearing is much more than a way to carry your baby around: it's a wonderful tool for bonding and soothing. I teach you how to choose and adjust wraps, slings and ergonomic carriers safely, at your home.

A carried baby cries less, sleeps better and feels reassured by closeness and movement. You gain freedom of movement in your daily life, while keeping your child close to you.

  • Safety first: correct physiological positioning, hip dysplasia prevention
  • The right carrier for you: woven wrap, sling or structured carrier, adapted to your baby and your body
  • Less crying, more calm: close contact soothes baby and regulates their heart rate
  • Everyday independence: tie your wrap on your own and carry with confidence, at home or out and about

What Families Say

"Alicia looked after my son for several weeks, overnight. She was a great help, with discreet and serious professionalism, while being gentle and attentive with him. I recommend her without hesitation to care for little ones and settle their sleep."

"I trusted Alicia to watch over my twin girls for several nights. Her patient, reassuring approach, combined with genuine professional seriousness, helped bring about calmer, more peaceful nights for the girls. A trustworthy person, whom I recommend without reservation to help infants toward peaceful sleep."

Alicia looked after my daughter for several nights. She showed great professionalism, gentleness and kindness. I particularly appreciated the attention she paid to my daughter's well-being and the quality of her care. Her reassuring presence and seriousness gave me complete confidence in her. I warmly recommend her to any family looking for a caring, reliable and professional person.

We used Alicia's services for night care for our daughter over several days, and we are very happy with them. She shows great professionalism, and the night reports were very precise and detailed. She gave us a lot of advice about our daughter and helped us a great deal, especially by messages outside of care hours. We strongly recommend her and will very likely call on her again in the future.

Personalised Support For Your Baby and You

Allaitement

Certified Breastfeeding Consultant

Breastfeeding is natural... but not always easy. As a trained and certified breastfeeding consultant, I intimately know the challenges you may face: the crushing fatigue of the first weeks, pain that can be discouraging, constant questions about milk supply, positioning, and feed frequency.

I am here to listen without judgement, precisely identify the source of your difficulties, whether it's baby's positioning, latch issues, a restrictive tongue tie, or simply a need for reassurance. My goal? To make breastfeeding a moment of tenderness and connection, not a source of stress or guilt.

If you choose bottle feeding, I support you with the same respect and expertise. Your choice is the right choice.

Bains

Sensory Therapeutic Baths

This ritual can't be improvised: it requires constant medical supervision and a trained eye to spot the slightest tension in a newborn, expertise I bring directly from my years in neonatology.

I choose the place, the temperature, the time of day with you, taking into account your baby's own rhythm and sensitivity, nothing is standardised, everything is designed for them.

And because this moment shouldn't stay a one-off, I pass on the gestures so you can reproduce it yourself, safely, as often as you'd like.

Massages

Traditional Baby Massage

This isn't just a video tutorial I hand you: my experience in neonatal intensive care lets me immediately read your baby's signs of comfort or discomfort, and adapt every gesture to their build and temperament.

I stay available after the session to answer your questions, correct a gesture or reassure you, my goal is for you to massage confidently on your own, long after we've met.

Safety

In-depth medical training and intensive care experience for the safe care of your newborn, even if fragile or premature

Empathy

A caring and attentive approach, respectful of each family, your parenting choices and your unique rhythm

FAQ

Your questions, my answers

When to hire a maternity nurse?

Ideally during pregnancy to prepare for baby's arrival, or immediately after birth for complete support.

How much does a night nurse cost in Geneva?

The Discovery Night (8h, 10pm, 6am) is CHF 350. For a longer night, the Comfort Night is CHF 400 (10h, 9pm, 7am) or CHF 450 (12h, 8pm, 8am). Day care (8h) is CHF 280. Discounted packages are available for multiple nights or a full week, see the Pricing section above.

What is the typical duration of service?

Varies according to needs: from a few days to several weeks, often 2-4 weeks to establish good routines.

Do you care for premature babies?

Yes, my neonatal experience allows me to specifically care for premature babies or those with special needs.

What is your availability?

I adapt to your needs: days, nights or 24/7 depending on the period, with planning established in advance.

What happens if you're unavailable or sick?

As an independent practitioner, I let you know immediately if anything comes up so we can find the best solution together for your family.

Do you offer packages?

Yes, weekly packages including day and night are available with advantageous rates.

Which cities around Geneva do you cover?

I travel throughout the canton of Geneva (Carouge, Lancy, Meyrin, Vernier, Onex, Thônex, Chêne-Bougeries, Cologny...) as well as the nearby canton of Vaud (Nyon, Coppet).

What's the difference between childcare, a home nurse, and a maternity nurse?

Standard childcare watches the child without medical training, and a home nurse handles one-off medical care. Cocoonurse combines both: I'm a qualified paediatric nurse (puéricultrice) and Swiss Red Cross childcare assistant with 11 years of neonatal experience, bringing together supervision, care, and parental support in a single service, day and night.

From what age can this sleep support start?

From birth up to 6 months. With a very young baby, we start by observing their rhythms and gently setting markers; with an older baby, we can add more structure. We discuss this together during the daytime assessment, based on your baby's age and temperament.

Will you let my baby cry?

No. Baby is never left alone with their cries, and I don't impose a single method: the support is built together with you, flexibly, and adjusts to your baby night after night.

What's the difference with the Sleep and Crying Consultation?

The Sleep and Crying Consultation (CHF 90) is a one-off remote exchange for targeted advice. This support is a complete 7- or 15-night program, with my on-site presence day and night, plus remote follow-up included after the nights.
