Nestzeit · Maternal Care During Pregnancy & Postpartum

You don’t have to carry everything alone.

I’m Lea, your maternity nurse in Norderstedt, Hamburg and the surrounding area. I support you during pregnancy, the postpartum period and your baby’s first year. With knowledge from my training in maternal and baby care, a listening ear and loving support in your own home. So that you, too, receive care alongside your baby.

My extra service for you. I’ll check with you free of charge whether your health insurance might cover the cost of maternal care – so you know what support may be available to you. Your health insurance provider decides whether the costs are covered.

For a time when care is not just for your baby – but for you, too.

Here for you. Here for you both.

To me, maternal care means seeing you as a mother and supporting you as you navigate your new everyday life together. Your needs, your recovery and settling in with your baby are at the heart of my support.

You deserve to be cared for, too

I listen to you and take seriously what is on your mind right now. There is space for your questions and feelings, without judgment and without pressure to get everything right.

Support for you and your baby

I support you with everyday baby care and as you get to know your shared rhythm. With calm, sensitivity and practical suggestions whenever you would like them.

More space to rest

I prepare a nourishing meal for you and take care of small everyday tasks. This practical relief complements my support, giving you space to regain your strength.

This is how I can support you

You don’t need to know exactly what you need yet. We’ll look together at what feels good for you and your baby. You decide which support is right for you both.

Settling in with your baby

I support you with your baby’s everyday care and stay by your side as you get to know each other and find your own way.

Space for your thoughts

Joy, uncertainty or exhaustion can all exist side by side. I listen without judgment or giving unsolicited advice.

Calm and small breaks

Take a peaceful shower, get some sleep or simply breathe: By arrangement, I’ll take care of your baby so you can have a break for yourself.

Nourishing meals

I’ll prepare fresh, balanced meals for you. You deserve to be well cared for, too, without having to think of everything yourself.

Sensitive, thoughtful support

I am a guest in your home. Your wishes and boundaries are important to me. My support complements the care provided by your midwife and does not replace medical care.

Additional everyday support

Small household tasks or a grocery run can be part of my support if they help lighten your load. The focus remains on you and your baby, not on cleaning your home.

This is how your Nestzeit begins

First, we’ll get to know each other. With no obligation and at your own pace.

Write me a few lines

Just tell me briefly what kind of support you would like and roughly when it should begin. You don’t need to have a complete plan yet.

We discuss your wishes

We’ll talk about your needs, the time frame and the scope of support. We’ll also clarify the costs and any possible coverage in advance. You can take your time to see whether you feel comfortable with me.

Your support at home begins

If everything feels right for you, we’ll arrange the appointments. During each visit, we’ll look together at what you and your baby need that day.

Hello, I’m Lea

I’m a mum to a two-year-old daughter, and I know how closely joy and exhaustion can lie side by side during this special time. My own start wasn’t always easy, either. The support of a maternity nurse meant a great deal to me back then. Today, I want to pass on this care. With Nestzeit, I’m by your side: I listen, lend a hand and take your needs seriously. With me, you don’t have to keep going at all costs. You’re allowed to arrive, take a breath and find your own way.
