We first used nanny Brenda when our daughter was 5 months. She had been waking 4/5 times a night, sometimes to feed and sometimes just to cuddle and was very hard to resettle. Within 4 days she began happily sleeping through 7-7 and has done so ever since (she is now 2). We recently used nanny Brenda again for our son when he was 3 months old. Although he is a very different baby to our daughter he went from waking multiple times a night to only having one dream feed within 48 hours and over the next few weeks we gently weened him to no feeds overnight. He also now sleeps 7-7 at just over 4 months old. Whilst Brenda’s approach is strict and the first few days are tough on everyone, it is very effective and both my children now seem happy and thriving in their routine. I recommend Nanny Brenda very highly and urge parents to trust in the process.
Brenda was a huge help with getting our new baby to sleep through the night. We contacted Brenda off the back of a referral from a friend, as we were struggling with wakes every 45mins. After the first night working with Brenda, our little one slept for 12hrs with the exception of one single wake, a total transformation!
Our 18 month old went through sleep regression badly. We had just welcomed our baby boy a month prior and found ourselves with a newborn and a toddler in our bed every night.Brenda visited us and immediately gave us the right tools to fix the problem. I really did not think anything would work but here we are 2 months later and my toddler sleeps through the night beautifully. Brenda also helped with getting by newborn into a good routine and I cannot thank her enough for all her support. Thank you Brenda !!!
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.
I couldn't recommend Brenda enough! She was such a huge help with my 2 year old and 6 month old. We had been having problems with my 2 year old walking in the night and since the day she arrived after following her advice he stopped waking! If we had any questions she was always available to help very quickly and left us feeling confident! We have two children both sleeping through 🙂
We got in-touch with Brenda when we got into some bad habits as first time parents with our 10 month old. Within 24hrs our routine went from chaos to calm. As soon as you meet Brenda you feel confident and put at ease with her, she is super knowledgeable and offers support for weeks thereafter. She really is the baby whisperer, we still cannot believe it! Now our baby sleeps in her own room, 7-7. It has truly transformed our lives! Thank you Brenda !! I would recommend to everyone thinking about reaching out, it will be the best money you ever spend!
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
Brenda has been a great support to our family! She has been with us few nights a week when my daughter was born. Not only she supported us during the nights but she also guided us creating a routine for her day and helped us to remove the night feeds when time was ready, and thanks to her guidance our daughter has been sleeping through the night ever since! Brenda is someone with great experience who knows what she is doing, I would definitely recommend her!
Brenda has transformed our situation within 48 hours. Being a first time parent and not understanding the importance of a good (near guaranteed) day and sleep routine has meant we have the freedom to be adults, enjoy our baby, not be overwhelmed with the new life change and our baby has the opportunity to grow in a healthy way. Brenda's programme isn't just guess work. Brenda has extensive experience and personalises the programme to your situation and child. Please listen to the advice and your life will change for the long term.

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
