We reached out to Brenda as Aris was waking up 5 or 6 times during the night at 8 months old. I was also feeding him to sleep for a lot of the night. I had reached a point where I couldn’t continue with the level of sleep deprivation. For the days, Brenda advised that Aris didn’t need a lot of sleep (the opposite of what I had been reading online). Her prescribed routine gave me the flexibility of doing one of the naps in the pram, and set out the meal times and milk quantities. Be warned- she uses the cry out method and is very harsh with her approach. It took Aris about 3 weeks to adjust which I found incredibly difficult as I did feel that it affected his mood- but it was worth it. He now sleeps 11 hours a night and naps are no longer a battle. We have structure to our day which make it easy for me to plan fun things to do around feeds and sleep! Getting Aris’ sleep under control has made my last few months of mat leave so fun and we have made special memories together. Thank you 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
