About Me

I am Betty Tagarira — a warm, patient, and deeply dedicated night nurse with over a decade of experience caring for newborns and young children. Originally from Zimbabwe and a proud mother of two girls, caring for babies comes as naturally to me as breathing. I bring calm, positive energy into every home I work in, and I always give 100% — day (or night) one through to the last. I work well independently and take initiative, so parents can truly switch off and rest knowing their little one is in safe, capable hands.

What Families Say

★★★★★

Betty was incredible to work with. She communicated clearly, was always super positive, unbelievably punctual and never missed a day. She was so kind and caring of our 3 month old girl and helped us get her to sleep better throughout the night during our stay. She was respectful of everyone she interacted with in our family. I'd recommend her 100% over.
