Some Nanny Profiles
All our Night Nannies need to have excellent childcare-related qualifications or extensive newborn experience. These include NNEB, NVQ level 3, BTec, midwifery, paediatric and neonatal qualifications. They will also have undertaken a paediatric first aid course and will possess an Enhanced Criminal Records Bureau certificate.
The agency interviews the Nannies personally, they will be tested on their childcare knowledge. The agency will then talk to previous employers and referees – all professional qualifications are checked. However, the Agency strongly advises parents to make their own enquiries and checks to satisfy themselves as to the suitability and experience of the Nanny.
The agency invests significantly in the ongoing professional development of the team. Nannies are offered free workshops in breastfeeding, first aid, post natal depression (in partnership with the Anna Freud centre), reflux and colic and nutrition.
Additionally, Night Nannies are encouraged to attend the Sleep Training course offered by MNT Training, an accredited course held at Reading University and taught by Georgie Bateman of Hampshire Night Nannies, Luci Wiggs from the Department of Sleep Research at Oxford Brookes University and Emily Rittner-McKinlay of MNT Training.

Arti
Arti has been working as a Night Nanny for the past 11 years. She is one of our chief sleep trainers. She specialises in guiding babies over 6 months, who are on solids, to sleep through the night.
Feedback from clients includes:
Sarah in London had a 16 month old who had always woken 4 or 5 times a night. Arti went in for 3 nights. The mother told us: “Arti was amazing, she is a miracle worker and we couldn’t be happier. In 2 nights she was on the right path- our child is so much happier now she’s eating better and I’m wishing we’d done this sooner now. It’s made such a different to us all.”
Arti worked as a troubleshooter for 10 month old twins. The mother told us: “She is fantastic, we’re completely in love with her. She’s sorted them out totally- it was a tough first night- no dummy or night feed. She was so right for us and it’s amazing what she’s achieved, and so quickly.”
Arti worked as a troubleshooter with a 6month who woke 4 times a night and only settled with a breastfeed. The mother told us on the telephone: “Our baby got into some seriously bad habits and she is a stubborn baby, but we have made huge progress with Arti’s help and now it’s up to us to keep up Arti’s good work. We’ve been very pleased, and we loved Arti. I happily recommend her without any question.”
