We would certainly recommend to anyone who is struggling with their babies sleep or feeding habits.
Prior to our nanny's visit our 11 month old son would wake 2-4 times a night and usually take up to an hour to resettle.
We knew that he knew how to sleep as we had previously had some periods of very good sleep ad he was settling himself to sleep at nap/bed times.
Our nanny arrived and straight away identified that he was not eating enough solid food during the day and was therefore waking out of hunger. We knew that his food intake was very low and we were actually due to see a pediatrician to investigate his eating habits.
Our nanny developed a new eating and napping schedule for him and instructed us to follow it for a few days to establish if his eating would improve, we stopped all night feeds and followed the schedule. Within 3 days he was eating ten times more than he had ever eaten and was even using a spoon, something up until then he had always refused. The change in eating habits was also reflected in his sleep and he stopped waking in the night. He now goes for his naps and bedtime without any fuss, he will drink a full bottle of milk and has 3 large meals a day. He sleeps for 12 hours a night and if he does wake he will settle himself within seconds.
For us, this makes a huge difference to our lives. We no longer go to bed each night in fear and we have even been able to leave him with a babysitter as we can be sure he will sleep.
Our nanny was a lovely lady, she was very experienced, knowledgeable and professional.
She gave us great advice and support while she was here and maintained contact throughout each day to support us in implementing the new routine.
If we have another baby we will definitely be in touch!

Our nanny worked for us for four and half months, six days a week. She started when we bought our son Oscar hone from hospital at four days old until he was four and a half months old. Her tasks were feeding, changing, re settling and assisting with breastfeeding.Our nanny very quickly got Oscar sleeping very well. While my husband and I struggled to get him to sleep at first, as soon as she arrived at our home he was asleep within minutes using her expertise and sleep techniques. She taught us her techniques and gently led Oscar into a routine and soon we were able to get him to sleep ourselves. Oscar was able to self settle early on owing to her sleep training methods which meant my husband and I were able to have nights to ourselves as he slept soundly from 7pm.On her nights off when we looked after Oscar we found him very easy to settle in the middle of the night, waking up for feeds and then settling immediately again meaning our sleep had very little disturbance.Our nanny assisted with breastfeeding and night feeding both bringing Oscar to me for a breast feed and preparing bottles of expressed milk to give him through the night. She offered lots of assistance and advice with breastfeeding, particularly aiding when I had blocked milk ducts (making hot water bottles etc) and messaging me during the day to see if Oscar and I were ok. She also showed us how to use all the feeding equipment such as the breast pump and steriliser and washed and sterilised equipment for us.Before she started with us she sent lists of her recommended baby products and throughout her time with us always recommended what to buy and gave helpful advice on feeding, sleeping and washing items that we might need. When Oscar had vaccinations, conjunctivitis and cradle cap she offered advice on how to administer treatments and helped us in doing so. She also showed us how to bathe him the first time.As well as these duties, she frequently sent us text messages to ask how Oscar was especially if he’d been having issues (eg for a few weeks he hadn’t put on enough weight) and we very much appreciated her out-of-hours care. She was also flexible in staying late in the morning to help us feed and change Oscar when we were going away on holiday.Our nanny has a kind and calm attitude. We very much trusted her and had no worries about leaving him for the first time in her care while we went to the cinema.Oscar is a very happy and settled baby and it’s partly owing to his sleep routine.

Kathryn came to us at a time when I had reached rock bottom with my health. I went to a doctor concerned I was having a stroke. I could barely function and felt awful. I learned that I was experiencing extreme sleep deprivation.My daughter was 13 months old, waking every 45 minutes overnight, constantly feeding and demanding attention. Sometimes she remained awake for two hour stretches. My husband and I were simply exhausted.A business associate suggested hiring a sleep trainer. We asked the agency to put forward their best sleep trainer and they promptly put us in touch with Kathryn.Upon Kathryn flying out to us in France, I was sure that Suzie was special and could not be sleep trained. We had tried everything including various approaches, techniques and tricks we picked up in books on sleep training, online sleep training specialists, white noise, cry it out. Nothing worked.Kathryn calmly and confidently assured us that her approach would help Suzy, all of us in fact. I was worried that my sleep pattern was so broken I would not be able to restore it. Kathryn gave me detailed, tailored and easy to follow advice. By the third night I was able to sleep properly again.And my daughter, within five nights Kathryn not only had her sleeping through the night but took away her sleep props including the sound machine. It gets very noisy outside of her room at 5-6 in the morning.I still cannot believe that she sleeps without her sound machine.Kathryn has taught her to reach and sustain deep sleep. We no longer need to creep around or whisper. We were walking on eggshells in our own home, terrified of waking her.At bedtime Suzie asks to be put to bed while we are putting on her pajamas, and she self settles too. It’s amazing.Everything has changed for the better. Kathryn weaned her off breastfeeding, she eats properly and well. She was not eating, she was underweight - we had sought out medical advice. Now she is the correct weight for her age and stage of development.Our daughter took to Kathryn immediately and Suzie is not the easiest customer! She is thriving: sleeping through the night, eating well three times a day and her development has skyrocketed. She is happy, calm and altogether a different child.We were so impressed that we hired Kathryn to accompany us overseas.We were concerned about maintaining the sleep training whilst away and wanted our daughter to nap during the day. She naps at nursery but we could not get her to nap at home. Kathryn managed to get her to sleep during the day. We have now hired Kathryn for our next London trip and an overseas trip at Christmas.I cannot thank or recommend Kathryn highly enough. She has transformed our lives. Highly professional and skilled, Kathryn is a font of information and a joy to be around. I only wish that we’d found her sooner.

Annie the Nannie came to stay with us in Hampshire for five nights. We have two children, 14 months apart, and the oldest one had just turned 2 when Annie came and saved us. She helped me plan a daily routine and nap schedule for both children and by the third day our life had completely changed. We'd gone from being awake regularly through the night from one or other child (who would then wake/keep the other awake), and our bedtime routine was taking us nearly 2.5 hours every night, to then having both children sleeping through and very quickly with simple changes our bedtime routine took a maximum 45 minutes including bathtime and by night 5, they were sleeping for over 11 hours. It's been over 4 months now and they are both still consistently sleeping. Anyone that asks, I tell them Annie the Nannie saved us. From that initial phone consultation with her I knew (after months and months of deliberation) that I had made the right decision.

As a new mum, I felt incredibly lost. My baby boy Dylan was 10 weeks old and I was struggling to be able to put him down or get him to take a bottle. Our agency nanny was an absolute god send. Kind, patient, incredibly knowledgable and very professional. She dived straight in and was 100% focused on our baby every minute of our 12 hour days together. She gave me the confidence and, more importantly, the understanding that allowed a fledgeling routine to be successfully established. By the second feed she'd managed to get Dylan to take the bottle without tears!! Something both myself and my husband had found impossible for weeks, and by day two Dylan was settling himself and going to sleep in his own bed! I couldn't recommend her highly enough - I just wish I could have her with me every day!!

Given our daughter was born premature, we were looking for a night maternity nurse knowing how critical yet difficult the feeding was likely to be. After interviewing a few candidates we decided to go with one of your nannies. It can be difficult to make a decision on the basis of a relatively short meeting, but thankfully we made the right choice – she has been amazing.Our nanny initially spent a week with us as a day nurse the very first week we were back from hospital. She truly was a life-saver since we had no idea how challenging it would be with a premature baby, when we were effectively having to re-learn the basics of feeding, changing, etc. from scratch. She went on a mission to ensure that she was feeding well and putting on weight as desired. I’ve never seen anyone get quite so excited when our daughter met her target weight during her check-up with the health visitor! She also provided a lot of reassurance and stability to our home – much needed in those early days.A few weeks later our nanny returned to help us with the nights. Thankfully she was already familiar with our daughter and was able to completely put us at ease, ensuring that we were able to get a few hours of much needed sleep! Perhaps most importantly, she developed an immediate and special bond with our daughter. In addition she is a pleasure to be around and we had a lot of laughs. She was also able to provide some useful tips/advice for our 20 month old, who can be quite a handful at times!In sum she is a great maternity nurse and we have no reservation in recommending her – any family would be fortunate to be able to secure her for a position.

Wow, I can not begin to express how thankful and grateful I am to our Maternity Nurse and the amazing start she gave our family. She met us at home when we were released from hospital, and as a first time mum I was understandably nervous and very tired - our maternity nurse immediately put me at ease and from that moment on created a peaceful, calm and safe space. I originally booked her for 2 weeks but by day 5 I had decided to extend to 4 weeks. Throughout the stay I had many comments from friends and family about how peaceful my son was and how they couldn’t believe that we were newborn parents as we all looked so relaxed. Every aspect of the stay was perfect - from learning how to become a ‘mum’, getting help with understanding babies cues, having someone to ask ALL the questions to and not having to rely on DR Google, keeping your sanity due to being able to get sleep, and just feeling like you have a really good friend in your home. Not only was she great with my son , she was amazing with me too - and I will look back very fondly of our nightly chats over dinner for years to come. It really was the most special four weeks. Our maternity nurse has been gone a week now - and I am so thankful for everything she did for us. Our son ( fingers crossed) is a great sleeper , a great feeder , he’s relaxed, happy and very content. I’ve recommended my maternity nurse to everyone I know and shouted about her from every rooftop . If I am lucky enough to have another baby, she will be my first phone call. Thank you for everything ❤️

Night nannie was great, Jennie is fantastic, she saved my life, my first daughter still demands a lot from me at night, and with the arrival of he new baby I would definitely need some help. Jennie sent me the best night nannies. And also helped me when I was on my own with the toddler and the baby, she found the best day nannies also. would definitely recommend!

Our nanny was a breath of fresh air and incredibly generous with her time and advice. I had gotten my 7 month into bad nighttime habits of feeding and in the space of a few days she had worked her magic in an incredibly gentle manner and gotten my little one well on the way to sleeping through. Our nanny's bubbly energy was infectious and she made the entire household happier. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Our nanny was a very calming influence and our son felt safe with her. She looked after him during the night and a few hours in the morning too - our little boy looked both well rested and well played ! She was discrete and quietly confident, exactly what we were looking for in a night nanny! Would definitely recommend.

The service we’ve had from night nannies has been a really big help for us during the first year of having our son. They always have someone great to recommend, even at less than a couple of hours notice. It was a huge comfort to know we could call on them when we had a really tough night or needed to be well rested the day after. The nannies also have great advice for all the problems & concerns I had. A big thumbs up from us :)
