Maternity concierges have emerged as the latest new mum must-have as outsourcing businesses for busy parents continue to flourish.
From organising Pinterest-worthy baby showers to researching the best value prams, maternity concierges aim to take the load off time-poor pregnant women and mums.

Large growth
“We’re seeing large growth,” explains Natalie Kilburn, founder of Sydney’s Belle Vie Concierge.
“Last year turnover was just under the $160,000 mark and we're projected this year to be just under $200,000. It's a real booming industry at the moment.”
Kilburn started her concierge business in 2015 and a year later, added maternity concierge services to her offering. It started when she began helping a friend whose husband was in the military and often away from home.
“They had a newborn and she was from the UK, and she didn't have a support network around her,” Kilburn explains. “I ended up gifting her my time to help with things at home. There are a lot of mums and women in the same position. And that's where the idea came from.” Read More
