To quote a friend on the birth of our first daughter: “get rid of anyone else’s number; the only one you need is Brenda’s.” Brenda is a first-rate sleep trainer, who combines years of experience with a no-nonsense style that guarantees results in days. We worked with Brenda from days after our daughter was born, and she was on hand to answer all our questions and concerns. Both my husband and I were anxious about sleep but by following Brenda’s routine during the day, our daughter was sleeping through the night (with one 30m wake) by 4 months. The routine also gave us visibility on when our daughter would nap during the day which in turn made childcare much more manageable. I heard horror stories from my antenatal group of children not sleeping until midnight or starting their day at 2am, but with Brenda’s help we avoided those situations entirely.
Brenda quite literally saved us. We were so tired and struggling with sleep and not knowing what to do and within the week our baby was sleeping through the night and sticking to her routines which have just been amazing. We are all so happy now running on the same rhythm and Brenda’s sensible approach and support (day or night!) was so helpful. I would (and do!) recommend her to everyone - Brenda’s advice is invaluable, sensible and importantly easy to follow.
We were having very broken nights sleep with our 6 month old and were recommended to speak to Brenda through friends - within 48 hours he was sleeping 7pm to 7am. We couldn’t believe it! Brenda was available on WhatsApp at any time and was quick to respond with help. Thank you Brenda!
With Brenda’s help our 10 month old baby boy has started sleeping through the night. We cannot recommend her highly enough. After meeting with us, Brenda came up with a new schedule for the baby and a few tweaks to his feeding. We followed this and within a short time our baby was sleeping through the night. Brenda was very supportive throughout the process.
Terrible experience. I hired this person as a night nurse, not a sleep trainer, and expected her to be responsive to the needs of my 2‑month‑old baby. Instead, her approach was extremely rigid and hands‑off. She repeatedly refused to pick up my clearly uncomfortable baby to soothe him, saying that in 23 years she has never picked up a baby to help them settle, and insisted on keeping him in a BabyBjörn chair during the night, including around feeding times, and did not offer to burp him, despite me explaining his digestive issues. When I finally picked him up myself, he immediately burped and was clearly more comfortable, which reinforced my concern about her approach. She also swaddled him in a wrap she had brought from her own home without asking my consent, and I had no way of knowing how clean it was.Our baby, a few days post‑vaccines and with tummy problems, stayed mostly awake and unsettled from 6pm until past 1am (she came at 7pm). Throughout the night she kept berating me that I had let him sleep too much during the day, but for a 2‑month‑old baby, being awake for 7+hours is not a reasonable or developmentally appropriate consequence of daytime sleep. Her “advice” was that he should feed five minutes on one breast and five minutes on the other, then be put on the floor if he fell asleep and even undressed so he would be cold and wake up, which I found completely inappropriate. From the start she also failed to take over basic tasks one would expect from a night nurse: I was still the one burping him, putting him in his sleeping bag and doing much of the hands‑on care.When, after midnight, I found he was still not sleeping and she continued to refuse any responsive comforting, I stepped in. She became confrontational, raised her voice at me in my own home, and I asked her to leave after 1am, offering to pay her in full just so the situation would end. In the two days afterwards she also sent me repeated, threatening payment messages, which felt very intimidating and inappropriate towards a busy mother caring for a newborn. The payment was made in full.I have worked with several other maternity/night nurses without any issues; all were gentle, responsive and respectful. This particular nurse’s “military” style, lack of responsiveness to an uncomfortable baby, and aggressive behaviour towards a vulnerable mother mean I cannot recommend her to families looking for genuine night‑nurse support.
We cannot recommend our sleep consultant highly enough. From the very beginning, she took the time to truly understand Leo, our family, and our concerns, rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution. Her guidance was clear, and incredibly reassuring, which made the whole process feel manageable and supportive.Thanks to her expertise and encouragement, Leo’s sleep has improved beyond what we thought possible.She was always available to answer questions, adjust the plan when needed, and celebrate the small wins along the way. The difference in our household has been life-changing — more rest, less stress, and a much happier child.If you’re feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start with your child’s sleep, we can honestly say you’d be in the best possible hands.
Brenda provided clear and no nonsense advice that enabled us to have a sleeping baby in 48 hours! Brenda is clearly an expert and was on hand to provide advice on a range of subjects. Of course the hard work sits with the parents but if you are needing a change - Brenda is your lady!
Brenda met our son when he was 12 weeks old and within 3 days he was sleeping through the night. She also helped us with a day time routine, which our son loves (he genuinely looks happy when he gets into his sleeping bag) and it brings structure to both his and my day. I cannot recommend Brenda enough!

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
