Puericultrice
WHO IS THE PUERICULTRICE?
The puericultrice ("maternity nurse" in UK) is a healthcare professional, officially recognized and specialized in child care, ranging from assisting newborns just returning home from the hospital to supporting older children up to six years of age.
Officially recognized since the 1940s, this role has been employed in various public and private settings, such as daycare centers, hospitals, family counseling services, and in-home care—where they are currently most in demand and present.
Equipped with broad and versatile skills, the puericultrice provides invaluable support to parents in understanding and managing their child’s needs and unique characteristics. This includes proper hygiene, dietary habits, physical development, and the overall growth of a healthy child.
The services offered by these childcare specialists vary, as each professional often specializes in specific competencies. These may include prenatal consultations, supporting families during the delicate transition home from the hospital after birth, providing emotional support to new mothers and fathers, and guiding parents in establishing healthy nighttime routines, introducing solid foods, engaging in playtime activities, and more.
