What families say
-
Very professional and friendly, and very caring with our baby.
Habiba T.
Rekha's calm and confident manner is exactly what a new mother needs.
She was always patient and helped me with her tips to take better care of my baby.
My approach
Your mother's instinct is the best guide
Between apps, guidebooks and well-meant advice, the most important thing often gets lost: you know your child best. My job is to back you up, to bring in my expertise where it helps – and otherwise to let you find your own rhythm.
I was born and raised in Zurich and my roots are in Kerala. I enjoy working with families from all cultures and keep learning from them.

I care for families at home in the city of Zurich and the surrounding area:
- City of Zurich
