11 years of neonatal experience · HUG Geneva
Home Newborn Care Specialist in Geneva
Between feeds, decoding cries and nights with no sense of time, a newborn's first weeks call for a presence that is both reassuring and skilled. As a home newborn care specialist in Geneva, I take care of every aspect of your baby's care, feeding, hygiene, stimulation, medical monitoring, day and night. Trained in intensive care, neonatology, oncology and paediatric surgery at the Children's Hospital of HUG, then in private Geneva clinics and at the Lenval Hospital in Nice, I bring a medical expertise that standard childcare doesn't offer.
What's included day-to-day
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
Newborn care specialist vs. childminder vs. home nurse: what's the difference?
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.
