Kelly Ballantyne - Host and Owner

I am host and owner here at One in The Oven Club. I am keen to put my experience and skills to use in supporting you through pregnancy, and offering parenting help too.

I have always worked with parents and children and have a keen interest in child behavior and family dynamics. I am a qualified N.N.E.B nursery nurse and have used this professional qualification as the basis for my career working as a nanny for over 16 years, all over the world.

I am also trained and qualified as a Maternity nurse, this qualification gave me a thorough understanding of new born sleep and development, nutrition, feeding, and a range of newborn and mother specific subjects.

I have trained with Lactation Consultants as a Breastfeeding Peer supporter and worked at a local Birth centers with parents and their babies. I am currently working towards a qualification with the Association of Breastfeeding Mothers. Also having had my own children I completely understand the trials of motherhood, so for more information as to how I can help, find me at www.modern-mummas.com
