A LIVE WORKSHOP FOR NON - MEDICAL MATERNITY NURSES, NIGHT NANNIES & NEWBORN CARE SPECIALISTS

Contract Confidence

For the maternity professionals who are brilliant at the job but dread the paperwork.


Monday 21st of September @ 7:00pm BST

You can settle a newborn through the evening witching hours without blinking. You understand their rhythms, their cues and exactly how to soothe them into a peaceful sleep. Your nursery craft is unmatched and families depend completely on your expertise.

And then there's the other half of the job nobody warns you about - you're also your own HR department, your own contracts department and your own negotiator. No manager to loop in. No colleague to vent to in the corridor. Just you, a laptop and a Word document you're hoping covers everything.

It often doesn't.

But this workshop does.

Book your spot

You've probably encountered at least one of these hurdles...
I have experienced them all in my 15 years + of private maternity work.

Packed for the Cotswolds. Landed in Dubai.

Hired for a grey January in the countryside, wellies and woolly hats packed. Then the family decides they fancy some winter sun instead and you're stood in 35 degree heat with nothing to wear but jumpers.

The baby had other plans.

Due dates are a guess, not a promise. Whether the baby arrives two weeks early or a fortnight late, you're the one left wondering what you're owed for the waiting, the rescheduling and the work you turned down to keep the dates free.

Payment's late and you're wondering how to bring it up (again).

It's awkward enough chasing an invoice from your own kitchen table. Try doing it over breakfast with the family who owes you money and of course you're still expected to be warm and professional at 7am.

The goalposts moved after you'd said yes.

Three weeks becomes six. The location changes. The break time slowly disappears. Nobody asked if the original terms still made sense, they just changed, and you went along with it because raising it felt like more trouble than it was worth.

If any of that landed a little too close to home, you're exactly who this workshop is for.

"There's no module in your training for how to hold your ground with a client who's making you a cup of tea one minute, and expecting you to work past your finish time with no extra pay, or notice, the next."

Meet your contract's new BFF 👋🏻

A clear contract isn't a wall between you and your client - it's a bridge. In my early days I was so afraid of sounding "difficult" or "unfriendly" that I left major details to casual conversations and vague Whatsapp messages.

The result? Job scope changes, late payments and awkward boundary conversations that left me anxious and drained.

It took me years (genuinely years!) to build the confidence, the knowledge and the experience to put a 19-section contract in front of a client without flinching. I didn't start there. I started exactly where you probably are now, hoping it would all work out and adjusting as I went.

What I use today isn't one fixed document either. I adapt it every time, depending on the age of the baby or babies, where in the world we're travelling to, whether it's nights only or full 24-hour care, what the expectations are and even my own break time. Knowing where to flex and what never to compromise on is exactly what I want to hand you in this session.

Here's the honest bit. This industry can be wonderful and it can also quietly wear you down. Working with high-profile, high-net-worth families often means we're the ones who end up not sticking up for ourselves, because the client's important, because we don't want to seem difficult, because we're so busy being warm and hands-on with the baby that our own terms slip down the list. But we are professional business people first.

You can settle their newborn back to sleep at 3am without a second thought. I want sending them a firm email about an unpaid invoice the next morning to feel just as natural, backed by a contract that's already had the awkward conversation for you.

THE TRANSFORMATION

What you will walk away with -

Not just notes. Actual clarity. We'll go through all 19 sections of a professional, self employed, maternity contractual agreement, one by one: what each one covers, why it matters, when you'd include it and when you'd leave it out and the kinds of situations that call for it.

Think of it as the full map of what needs to be in your contract and why. You won't get the exact wording live in the room but you'll walk away knowing precisely what belongs in yours and why.

  • Every section explained, from the setup and hours, through payment, duties, cancellation and safeguarding, to confidentiality and beyond
  • Why each one matters, and when to use it or leave it out
  • A real page from my own contract, shown live, so you can see what a properly built section actually looks like
  • How to edit, customise and format your own version for each booking
  • How to turn it into a polished PDF ready to send and e-sign
Secure Your Contract

I started this because I want private maternity professionals to advocate for themselves the way we deserve to. We're professional businesswomen who happen to be extraordinary with babies, not the other way round. Charge what you're worth. Stick to your terms. Be as good to yourself as you are to the families you work for.

WE MATTER TOO.

The Investment

Securing your terms before a booking commences is an act of professional self-care.

£37

for the live session + lifetime access to the recording SPACES ARE LIMITED

One badly worded clause, one uncovered cancellation, or an awkward late payment you didn't know how to chase, can cost you thousands more than that in a single booking. This is the cheapest insurance policy you'll buy this year.

  • Full live masterclass & interactive Q&A session
  • Lifetime access to the video recording & materials
  • Practical steps to audit your current contract/agreement

Spaces are limited, kept small on purpose so that we can have an interactive (also anonymous) q&a to finish.

Let's do this, together.

Please allow 90 minutes for the live workshop. The recording will be sent out to everyone who registers, regardless of whether you make the live or need to leave part way through.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I can't make it live?

You'll get the recording either way, at no extra cost, so you won't miss a thing if life gets in the way that evening.

No. This is guidance from my own professional experience, not formal legal advice. I'd always recommend having a solicitor review your final contract, especially for higher-value or international bookings.

Not at all. Whether you're starting from scratch or want to tighten up something you're already using, the session works either way.

Both. If you are self-employed and working in the private childcare and maternity sector then this workshop is for you.

If anything, this is the best time to learn it. Getting your contract right from your very first booking means you're never playing catch-up later.

You'll get the Zoom link for the live session by email, and the recording sent to you afterwards so you can rewatch anytime.

No! It is completely anonymous. Only the host (Millie) will see who registers and during the Zoom webinar all names are hidden, the only person visible is Millie as she delivers the content. It is not a Zoom meeting.
