We first worked with Brenda's sister Sarah as a night nanny and sleep trainer when our son was born, and she was absolutely wonderful. More recently, when our son turned two, we reached out to Brenda for some help and guidance - she came for an afternoon visit and followed up with WhatsApp support that was simply incredible.Her advice was spot-on, practical, and delivered with such warmth and reassurance. Within days we saw a huge improvement in our son's sleep and general routine. Brenda has that rare combination of deep experience, calm authority, and genuine care that immediately puts you at ease.I can't recommend Brenda (and her family team) highly enough, she is a lifesaver for new parents and for anyone who just needs some expert help getting things back on track.
Brenda was fantastic and helped our baby girl find a consistent schedule that worked well for us and got her to sleep through the night. She had decades of experience and portrays that experience in a stern but helpful way - you must trust the process, it works! She gave us the comfort that ‘we’ are the boss… not the baby. Our baby quickly caught onto the schedule, stopped cluster feeding and took in larger amounts at the allotted feed slots. This has helped her gain weight and fight the bottle less. She’s 3.5months old and now sleeps 7-7, after dropping the dream feed! Thank you Brenda - well worth the £££!!
Brenda is quite literally magic! within less than a week our son was sleeping 7-7 I couldn't believe it! Our son was a nightmare going to bed and was waking multiple times during the night. Since the day she visited our house and told us what to change its transformed our evenings and made everything so much better! She was always on hand with any questions we had and we didn't want our time to end with her we even extended it so we could have contact another 2 weeks. Thanks to Brenda we now are getting back our night time sleep! She is always willing to help even a few month down the line still makes contact to see how we are getting on and gives advice! Thank you Brenda for being so amazing!
Brenda is absolutely a master in her field. Successfully helped both of our children sleep through the night (now 4 & 2 yo). Brenda is a wonderful person but uses the right level of authority/energy to assure we 'did the best by both children'. All advice given was not too invasive and within weeks we had pre 5am wake ups shift to post 6am, with both kids now sleeping well over 11 hours. Do not give it a 2nd thought, if you are experiencing any issues as Brenda will bring bliss back into your home.
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.
We were desperate when we called Brenda with a 5 month old baby waking every 1 to 2 hours. Brenda helped us to get back into control with a straight forward routine and troubleshooting, she helped cut through the conflicting information online, and kept us accountable which was crucial as our baby was more resistant than most! I’d recommend Brenda to all of my friends for "good" sleepers and "bad" sleepers alike because Brenda has a lot to teach and recommend starting around 8-10 weeks.
We contacted Brenda when our 3.5-month old daughter started waking up every 30 mins - 1 hour in the night and we’d entered into some bad habits, including needing to rock her or feed her to sleep and running to her during the night at any noise. We had no routine (even though we’d tried with some online) and life was very chaotic and sleep deprived! Brenda came to visit and gave us a routine to follow and, crucially, showed and told us how to make it successful. For the midday nap, she showed us how to put her down and how to get her to self settle - and for the first time ever, that night she went to sleep by herself in her cot (after a tough 45 mins of crying), and after only a couple of wakes for a few minutes throughout the night, slept through to 7am. After that first night, it was smooth sailing. She went down by herself with very few tears for every nap and has generally slept from 7-7 ever since with the odd wake up here and there. I can’t believe what a difference it has made to our lives - we have predictability and certainty in the day and our baby is so much happier. She smiles all day and rarely cries. She used to cry on walks or in the car and she now loves both and puts herself to sleep when she is tired without complaint.Brenda was on hand to answer any questions in the first few weeks and was always extremely responsive. We knew what we were doing wrong but it was integral having Brenda to help us execute sleep training, which we’d tried to do ourselves and failed! As others have said, Brenda was firm and direct. She believes in her methods, and how you have to teach your baby that tears will not lead to you rushing to them. This is not for everyone. I had always told myself I wouldn’t sleep train, and there have been some really really hard moments, but I’m a complete convert to the approach. We’re all much happier and our baby cries 90% less than before and thrives on the predictability of a routine and the ability to fall asleep by herself.
Brenda worked with our family for two months, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her support. She brought a wealth of knowledge, teaching us helpful tips and tricks. She provided us with a routine on day 1 which was a game changer for us. It provided us with a plan for the day and allowed us to get on top of things rather than just waiting for the next thing to happen. Brenda’s help allowed me the time to recover and thanks to her expertise, our baby is now sleeping through the night. Brenda is calm, reliable, and has a wealth of knowledge —truly an excellent night nanny. Thank you Brenda!
We highly recommend Brenda! She was our night nanny for the first 2-3 months after having our son. She was fantastic at getting us into a routine which gave us some very valuable predictability in a very unpredictable period of time. She also seamlessly got our son sleeping 10-7 very early doors (without any distress for him) and was invaluable in giving my husband enough sleep to be able to work!! She was also a pleasure to have around and has a cracking sense of humour. Thank you so much 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
