From the outset she was incredibly warm and immediately formed a bond with the baby. From her first week with us she was able to put the baby into a regular sleeping and feeding pattern overnight, which was a huge help for the nights when we were alone. We have as a result been able to get to a point at three months where he sleeps well and is only waking once a night to feed.
In addition to her skills with the baby, our nanny clearly cares very deeply about everyone she works with and has been an invaluable sounding board for me when I have any questions about day or night routines, colds, niggles or advice about how to work towards sleeping through the night and onwards. There is no doubt that I am a calmer mother as a result of having had her helping me (not only because I am better rested). .
