  • Wedding nanny The agency provided a last minute nanny to help us look after our 10 week old son at our wedding. She was just fantastic, from the moment she arrived I felt at ease and so did our son. She was super organised and looked after our son throughout the wedding, but brought him to us for photos etc but didn’t let him get too overstimulated. He even slept throughout the entire meal! I cannot praise her enough, she made me feel at ease that he was in good hands allowing us to really enjoy our wedding. She has such a calm and organised approach.

  • The night nanny came to work with us when our daughter was 14 weeks old, we had a night nanny prior to this but she had moved on to a new job. My daughter seemed to have become much more unsettled. We knew she had silent reflux, but the night nanny helped up understand it was the reflux, which was getting worse and unsettling our daughter. She suggested we see a specialist she knew and gave us some small things to help her immediately. Thanks to the night nanny we now havea much calmer, cheerier daughter. The night nanny was great with her from the start and got her to go down at night and stay down, which led to better day time naps. She is warm and friendly, offering a wealth of knowledge and advice, butnever interfering with our chosen ways. I believe she could handle any baby situation and would not be phased by anything. She was super promt and always extremely professional. Overall a great experience

  • Amazing Sleep Trainer Vera is extremely competent and I would definitely recommend her to anyone. She sleep-trained our 6-month-old baby whose sleep pattern has improved enormously since she helped us.
    Before we engaged Vera, we had many issues to fix and quite a few bad habits to get rid of.
    We had the wrong daytime routine (wrong times for naps and one too many nap) and our baby boy would wake up several times during the night and had started to have terrible and often short lunchtime naps. We were also using many accessories to get our baby to sleep such as the sleepyhead grand, dummies (sometimes up to 7 fixes per night), Ollie the owl for white noise, and loads of rocking (including the occasional sleeping in my arms the last hour before wake up time). Furthermore our baby didn’t know how to self-settle.
    In 5 nights Vera managed to fix most of the issues and gradually took all bad habits away.
    We just finished our 5 nights with Vera and our baby is now sleeping almost 12 hours in the night with perhaps one interruption but he is learning to go back by himself (he is also teething right now which isn’t helping) and his lunchtime nap is mostly back to 2 hours (again with one occasional interruption which he is learning to deal with).
    We follow Vera’s routine religiously during the day and it has also helped a lot with progressing with our weaning process.
    Vera’s advice has been extremely helpful and holistic about all aspects of baby care, not just sleeping. She had tons of experience, a natural love for babies and a great connection with them!

  • Genuine advice to clients Contacted nightnannies needing a night nanny help for one for our 8 months old daughter who was waking up every two hours, and we just need a break for a week. They recommended against using a nightnanny at this age and instead try to establish a better routine. Indeed trying harder to have a routine with her helped us and the baby so much and let her have full night sleeps. They basically lost a potential client and revenues and have advice tailored to the situation. If we have another kid we will def come earlier for support if we need. Thank you.

  • My review: I contacted night nannys after my second baby turned out not to be the best sleeper. Four months of broken sleep (and a busy toddler!) had left me on my knees with anxiety and insomnia. I needed help! A friend recommended the agency and when I spoke with Anastasia she was so kind and helpful and instead of providing me with a night nanny, she instead gave me expert advice on what my baby might need - a shorter term hire who would sort the problem of my daughter’s sleep permanently. She gave me my Guardian Angel - Vera Valtcheva. Vera joined us for four days to fix my daughter’s schedule. From day one I could have cried for joy. She got her from sleeping in our Snoo cot by my bed to sleeping in her own cot in her own room. After careful and expert observation of my little girl’s personality and development, Vera implemented a plan for her that meant she went from waking every two hours from 1am and using me as a human dummy to sleeping on her own and self-settling in her cot after two days. Vera brought the joy back in to our home by helping my little girl and getting me some more sleep. After day one my husband and I enjoyed cooking together and a whole evening together again for the first time in four months. She is with us until the end of the week and I don’t want her to go! She also teaches you how to enjoy the amazing time with your baby, giving you tips on toys and interactive play to help their development which in turn helps their sleep. But has the beautiful side effect of giving back to you the joy of a new baby - as the fog of tiredness clears and you can enjoy the glow of new motherhood confident you are doing the right thing for your child. No more insomnia for me! And looking forward to 8 hours unbroken sleep in the future! Vera is an expert, kind, patient and truly loves her job and the children she cares for. I couldn’t have asked for better help for me and my family.

  • Vera came to us for two nights when our little girl had just turned 8 months old and had been going through a rough few weeks of sleep. Try as we might my husband and I couldn’t get to the bottom of what was going wrong - she had been a good sleeper from 5 to 7 months and then almost overnight she started to refuse to go down for her daytime naps and started waking and crying every ten to twenty minutes after we had put her down at 7pm, eventually settling at about 11pm. It felt like we were back with a new-born. I was lost without our routine and felt like our baby was asking for something different - but I didn’t know what! And then Vera arrived… and she was amazing! I was initially a little apprehensive about some of the suggestions Vera made but quickly realised that if I wasn’t committed to her advice then I would never know if it would work. Needless to say after following her suggested daytime routine within one night our daughter had dropped her dream feed, within two nights she slept soundly from 7pm to 6.30am, and by day three she was starting to self settle for her daytime naps. What a dramatic change in such a short space of time!Vera helped me to understand that our daughter no longer needed so much sleep during the day and so we cut down her day time naps, we have been giving her more water to quench her thirst and cutting down on her bottle feeds so that she is hungrier at mealtimes. Vera encouraged me to stay strong and remember that our daughter would be much more settled when I was clear with her about when she was going to sleep, when she was eating etc and making sure to stick with the routine for at least a couple of weeks until it had become second nature to our baby. We are just a week in but there is a great difference already to our family dynamic and my confidence as a Mum has returned.I would highly recommend Vera if you need any help with your baby’s sleep. She has a plethora of knowledge, is passionate about her work and looked after us and our baby incredibly well. She is a rare find!

  • Night Nannies is great! My experience with Night Nannies was very positive. The ladies running the agency were always very kind and helpful. They sent me some great nannies that helped me beyond words. I am very happy I found them.

  • Second time using night nannies to find… Second time using night nannies to find me a maternity nurse for my newborn. Excellent service and they matched me with an incredible nanny who not only took good care of my son, putting him in an excellent routine early doors, but also took great care of me, allowing me to recover physically and mentally quicker than I otherwise would.

  • Miraculous When our night nanny came to our family we were in a desperate state. I was half crazed with sleep deprivation and my 6 month old was stuck in an overtired cycle of short naps and disrupted nights that we couldn’t get out of. I can’t believe that was just one week ago. Last night he slept 12 hours for the first time in his life, with just one feed. He’ll likely drop that soon as we further establish solids. And he now consistently gets proper naps as he has learned to connect sleep cycles. Gone are the hours of feeding and bouncing him to sleep. I now put him in his crib awake and he happily drifts off. The change is near miraculous.

    Our nanny was so knowledgeable and reassuring and lovely with the baby and with all of us. I needed a lot of support and hand holding and she helped me to keep the consistency that my baby needed. I wasn’t really sure about the process and I needed her professionalism and conviction to help me through it. I am gaining confidence but grateful to have her on text for reassurance and troubleshooting for two weeks. She wants to make sure he has really settled into his new routine before she leaves us.

    It is no exaggeration to say that she has restored happiness to this household. I fear I would have missed enjoying precious months of my baby’s development because I was so desperately exhausted and anxious. I already feel lighter and so excited again to be a mother. Thank you so so so much.

  • "Night Nanny our guardian angel"Our Night Nanny/Sleep trainer was amazing in every way. She taught our 18 months old son who suffered from reflux severely and would wake up sometimes every 45 minutes finally to sleep and settle himself.The moment our Sleep trainer came through our door we felt guided and supported. Wilbur would click instantly with her and we could feel her warmth and positive energy towards all of us. She just made us feel at ease. She stayed with us for 6 nights and it felt like having a guardian angel around. She motivated us constantly and progressed with Wilbur so rapidly it felt like a miracle and at the same time everything our Sleep trainer explained and advised us about Wilbur and our routine with him made total sense and explained all our issues we had with him previously.Wilbur is now managing to sleep through and even manages to settle himself back to sleep when he feels poorly. He seems so much more confident and we feel we can read him so much better now.Our Night Nanny/sleep trainer was truly the best decision we’ve made in a long time as she really fixed Wilbur’s bad sleeping habits and also made sure we can implement a routine suitable for us as a family.Johanna
