Our son was 4 months old when we called Brenda, as we were having real trouble with his sleep. He was awake every couple of hours throughout the night and would need constant jigging or feeding back to sleep - he was unable to self settle despite us trying different things since birth. He refused to nap anywhere but in the sling and if we were lucky enough to get him to sleep in his cot he would wake after 20 minutes. We were both exhausted and we knew something had to change. We were recommended Brenda by my sister, and oh are we glad we called her. She came round to meet us and get to know our sons temperament. She talked us through all things sleep, tweaked the way we were putting him down in his cot and gave us a routine to follow. She is direct, no nonsense but you automatically trust her and want to follow what she says. The first night was tough with a quite a lot of tears, but since then his sleep has been amazing. He went from 4-5 night feeds, being rocked to sleep to being put down in his cot awake and sleeping 7-7. We can't recommend Brenda enough. We joke in our family that if we have a daughter next she'll be called Brenda.

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
