Ep 27: From Humanitarian Work to Nappies and Nannies with Anushka from Nannies and More

12/14/2023
Welcome to episode 27 of Next of Kin Parents Podcast! I'm Emma, a British Expat, and Mum of 1, living in Dubai, UAE, and this podcast follows along my own journey raising my daughter and starting my first business. I am so pleased to have squeezed this chat with Anushka into my penultimate episode of season 1. Anushka is the Managing Director and Co-Founder of Derby Home Health and Nannies and More, but in her formed career she worked in Reproductive Health in crisis zones. But when Anushka welcomed her daughter to the world she decided to move back to Dubai to be closer to family, and this is when she set about using her background and values to set up Derby Home Health, and she quickly discovered the need for more support options for new parents so Nannies and More was created. I was intrigued to hear what Anushka's former career entailed and how she has handled leaving that role and moving back to Dubai. I also wanted to pick Anushka's brains about all things Nannies and how Nannies and More are doing things differently.

Welcome to episode 13 of Next of Kin Parents Podcast! I'm Emma, a British Expat, and Mum of 1, living in Dubai, UAE, and this podcast follows along my own journey raising my daughter and starting my first business. In this week's episode I want to get real about sleep and the societal expectations surrounding it. After reading Lucy Pasha-Robinsons article for the Guardian on societal expectations around sleep and how it is used as a measure of parenting success, I want to open up as a Mother in the depths of sleep deprivation about my journey so far in the last 11 months. This leads me on to discussing the ever-present conflicting advice and duality of emotions.
