While Brenda offered some solid advice on sleep training and creating a good sleep environment for my baby, which improved my baby’s sleep habits, I am unable to comment on the effectiveness of her approach as we were unable to follow through - the tips were useful, but Brenda’s style was very harsh. Her strong insistence on the “cry it out” method was not something I could sustain as it wasn’t just prolonged crying but was our baby suddenly went from being happy/bubbly to being really solemn during her awake period. We eventually just gave up because it felt like there was no room for any other approach and it wasn’t a right fit for our family (whilst sleep was important to us, our top priority was definitely the well being of our baby). I would recommend this service for those who are comfortable with a strict approach, but it wasn’t right for us.

A professional qualified and experienced nanny offering consultancy and advice to parents of newborn babies and children. The advice and support is non judgmental, easy, straight forward, supportive and practical.
After a lifetime of working in a career with babies and children I have a wealth of experience to share. An additional 3 years experience working in a special care baby unit with sick and premature babies and 21 years supporting parents overnight as a night nanny. This experience has enabled me to condence my knowledge and share it with parents who may have become parents for the first time.
The advice, support and practical help in most cases takes place in the parents home. If the parents are overseas the help can be shared in an online meeting or phone call.
Advice is very much a personal approach to the individual child and the uniqueness of that family life. Ethnicity and cultural backgrounds are always taken consideration as many families live overseas and parents come from diverse backgrounds.
Above all I respond well to communication and support each family with the same enthusiasm with my job today as I did the first day I became a trained nursery nurse.See more
