No. SafeKeepers provides non-regulated companionship focused on wellbeing, connection and reassurance.

No. We do not help with washing, dressing, toileting, feeding, continence care or other regulated personal care tasks.

No. Postpartum companionship is for the mother. We do not provide midwifery, lactation support, baby care, feeding advice, sleep advice, clinical checks or maternity treatment.

Very possibly. We wouldn’t frame the service as “help” if that would feel uncomfortable for her. Many women warmly welcome a thoughtful visitor when the offer is about company, choice and independence rather than care. Nothing begins unless she’s comfortable.

Yes. SafeKeepers postpartum companionship is a calm female presence for a chapter that can feel surprisingly lonely. We are not there to take over with the baby or tell you what to do, we’re there for you.

Yes. Visits can be purchased directly as a gift: single visits, three-visit vouchers, or ongoing weekly companionship. Simply contact us and we’ll arrange it.

That’s exactly what we work to avoid. Visits are built around companionship, not surveillance. Family updates are agreed in advance, kept brief, and handled respectfully.

Our companions are trained to notice when something may not feel quite right and to follow clear procedures if a concern arises. It does not mean we investigate, diagnose or take over.

We work in a calm, respectful, choice-led way. We don’t rush, pressure, shame or assume.

Our companions are trained in Making Every Contact Count (MECC), a nationally recognised approach that turns everyday moments into gentle opportunities for wellbeing.

Yes, where she’s agreed. Updates are warm, factual and proportionate, shared only with named people, and can be changed or stopped at any time.

We’d encourage her or, with her consent, a nominated family member, to contact the right service. Where there’s a serious concern about harm or safety, we follow our written escalation procedures.

Through personal interview, references and Enhanced DBS checks. We look for warmth, emotional maturity, reliability, sound judgement and the ability to build trust gently.

The first conversation can usually happen quickly. Matching may take a little longer because we’d rather get the right person than rush.

Yes. Life changes, and the support should change with it.

Later life: monthly plans from £640, with flexible visits from £55 per hour. Postpartum: from £80 per two-hour visit, with three-visit vouchers at £240 and weekly companionship from £320 per month.

With a conversation. No pressure, no commitment.
