Hiring Brenda was the best decision we made on our parenting journey. We contacted Brenda with a 7 week old who hated lying down because of reflux. She visited us and took the time to get to know our baby, understanding his individual sleep needs, and our family. She never holds back in giving advice, but it was all completely justified and fair. She gave us a routine and asked us to stick to it strictly. Within days our little one was napping regularly, hitting bedtime tired, and sleeping well. She helped me navigate the dream feed (and dropping it), and our little one slept 12 hours a night at 9 weeks old - not because Brenda forced anything but because she gave him the structure to do so and he was ready. He is the happiest little boy because he is well slept, and his parents are much happier for the sleep too. A well slept household is a harmonious one! Because of Brenda’s expert guidance we did not experience the 4 month sleep regression as he knew how to put himself back to sleep when he woke in the night.Finally, I contacted Brenda a few days ago when he suddenly started waking early. Within a few hours she was on the phone with a plan, helping guide me through. We are back to sleeping 12 hours already.She is truly incredible. Yes she is forthright, but she knows what she is talking about and her experience is unparalleled. If you want to buy your sleep back, and have a happy, healthy, well slept baby, this lady is the best.
After 5 months of unmanageable bedtime tantrums and early wakes with our 3.5 year old, who had just started pre-school, and the impending arrival of a new baby I had completely run out of steam. I am so grateful to have found Brenda, who was recommended to me by a friend. Through the implementation of a new, tailored routine that fits with our family and the upcoming changes, we saw a noticeable difference within a couple of days and after a couple of weeks all our challenges had left the building. I can now rest throughout the remaining weeks of my third trimester and don’t have the additional worry of my older child’s sleep challenges hanging over me ahead of the new arrival. I couldn’t have done it without Brenda’s guidance and support - I thought I’d read every book and every blog, her insights were absolutely invaluable. Thank you, Brenda!
I have recommended Brenda more than 10 plus times. Her methods are old school but effective. Thanks to her we have a happy settled daughter where bed time and naps are a delight (even at 2 years old). I’ve booked her to come and see my son when he is 8 weeks olds. She is truly life changing in terms of giving families the correct framework to ensure you all get sleep and have structure- which enables the children to thrive. The routine sets you free and enables you to have time for yourself in your day. I tell all my friends they must “Brenda their baby”—best investment you will ever make!
Brenda is nothing short of exceptional. As new parents, the first months with our baby were some of the most challenging we have ever faced, from sleep difficulties to breastfeeding struggles and everything in between. Brenda brought a rare combination of traditional wisdom, practical strategies, and clear, direct guidance that cut through the noise and gave us confidence when we needed it most.Although I wasn’t the one in direct contact with her day to day, I saw the difference her support made for my partner, and through that, for our whole family. She didn’t just provide advice, she gave us reassurance, structure, and the tools to get through what could have otherwise been overwhelming.Her calm, professional approach, combined with her genuine care and deep expertise, made all the difference in helping us navigate the first year of parenthood. I cannot recommend Brenda highly enough to any parents seeking knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly effective support. She is a remarkable consultant, and we will always be grateful for the role she played in our journey.And yes, all the rumours are true. Brenda has worked with some very high profile families, including a former UK Prime Minister, and it is easy to see why. Her reputation is built on real results and genuine care, and our experience only confirms it.Thank you Brenda!!!
Brenda has been an incredible support to us, her guidance and advice has helped us immensely with the routine and sleep of our 3 month old. She has decades of experience and can anticipate every situation. Don’t think twice and reach out to Brenda for help!
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.
We were referred to Brenda from close friends who couldn’t say enough good things about Brenda. So we took a leap of faith hoping for similar results. Our 1 yr old wasn’t sleeping through the night, which started at 10 months and we couldn’t figure out why. Needless to say we called Brenda. She took her time and understood all of us and our routine, was very accommodating on call times given we are UAE based was never rushed or on a time crunch to attend to other clients, we felt like we got her full attention over a few video calls. What was more impressive was the dailyFollow ups for the first coupleOf weeks to and a gentle taper once situations improved. With a few tweaks and tips we are sleeping through the night, well rested, happy and healthy. We highly recommend Brenda.
Brenda is simply fantastic! For first time parents, she will guide you through the various ups and downs of a babies sleep cycle and her experience will support new parents achieving a full nights sleep early on. We can only recommend her highly.
Brenda was incredible - she literally changed our lives overnight. I was really struggling with our 10 weeks old sleep and my husband works away every few weeks so the days were difficult surviving on a few hours sleep each night. I called her and she was with us the next day, she spent a few hours with us chatting through everything. By the time she left our son was napping in his cot for his lunchtime nap (having only ever slept on me or in the pram before!), and that night he slept 7-7 with one wake (plus a dream feed). The next night he woke a couple of times, but by night three he was consistently sleeping 7-7 with the dream feed. He never had a four month regression and has been sleeping like this ever since Brenda arrived! We spoke to Brenda almost every day over WhatsApp which was a huge help with questions and seeking guidance on sleep, dream feed, dropping naps, shortening naps and weaning too.By far the best best best thing we spent money on and so glad we sought Brenda's help - she is a miracle worker!

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
