Brenda's help was invaluable when it came to sleep training my four month old son. He is quite a heavy boy and I had resorted to rocking him up and down in the dark with music and a dummy at every nap and bedtime, with limited success. Naps were 30 minutes long and he was waking up every 45 mins from 2/3am. My back was killing me and I was in a permanent state of exhaustion.Luckily Brenda swooped in and sorted us both out within 3 nights (she had to train me too!). Her methods are slightly old school (no holistic sleep training here) and there is a level of crying that you will not avoid, but mostly only the first night. I would say if you can't stomach it, perhaps this is not the right method for you, but my son is so much happier for it. He now sleeps through the night and he loves his bedtimes and sleeping in his own room. He is also a much easier baby during the day. Brenda was always very sweet with him and the few nights she stayed over I'd come down in the morning to find him beaming at her. I feel like Brenda has given us both the gift of sleep and could not recommend her more.

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
