It was wonderful to have Olivia with us during the first five months of our first child's life. Obviously, the guaranteed sleep made all the difference, but beyond that, we really appreciated Olivia's presence, guidance, and advice—and how much she cared for our daughter.Olivia supported us through every phase of those five months. At the beginning, when everything was so new, she was a great help in teaching us the ropes, from bathing an infant to feeding and recommending what to buy. As our daughter grew, Olivia continued to adapt her support, especially during more challenging times when our daughter was ill or dealing with reflux.As expats in London with no family nearby, having Olivia was a massive comfort to us, and to me as a new mother in particular. I felt so much less alone knowing she was coming. She was a vital part of our support network, and we miss her very much already. We would love to have Olivia back for any future children!The agency was also easy to work with. Our original nanny cancelled just one week before our daughter's due date, and the agency acted quickly, communicating brilliantly and sending alternative nannies who were available right away. - 27/10/2026
I cannot recommend Lauren highly enough. I first met her when I was six months pregnant, as we began planning for the postnatal period, and from our very first meeting, I felt completely reassured and in the safest of hands. Her background as a midwife was a huge part of that reassurance. As a first-time mum, having someone with her knowledge, experience and understanding in your corner, not only for the birth but for everything that comes afterwards, was truly invaluable.Lauren was incredibly communicative and thoughtful, even reaching out to check in on me before I gave birth. She started with us on our very first night home from the hospital, and I honestly cannot imagine having navigated those early days without her. Having her there made the whole experience so much less daunting. I genuinely believe that because Lauren helped me feel calm, confident and supported, our daughter felt that same sense of calm and security.Lauren went far beyond helping me get some much-needed rest and sleep. She helped us establish a routine that worked for both me and our baby, taught me how to bathe our daughter, shared countless practical tips and recommendations, and gave me the confidence to navigate motherhood in those first precious weeks. She has an incredible touch when it comes to settling a baby, whether getting our daughter to sleep or soothing her when she cried. She was also a wonderful source of emotional support during my more difficult moments, always offering reassurance, kindness and a gentle reminder that I was doing well.Her knowledge, including the books she recommended and the different techniques she introduced us to, was immensely helpful. But beyond her expertise, it is Lauren’s warmth, intuition and genuine care that make her so special. She became part of our family, and our daughter absolutely adores her.Lauren was an invaluable person to have by our side from the very beginning. My only regret is that we couldn’t keep her for another six months! I wish I could keep her all to myself, but any family fortunate enough to have Lauren supporting them will understand just how extraordinary she is.She is truly exceptional, and I recommend her wholeheartedly and without the slightest hesitation.Lara de Vinck - 20/10/2026
Night nanny Emma Reference Letter I cannot recommend Emma highly enough. She came to help us when our usual night nanny was unavailable, and she was absolutely wonderful from the moment she arrived. Emma was incredibly respectful of the routine and schedule I had established with our usual night nanny, and she adapted to it seamlessly. Her calm, maternal and nurturing nature immediately put me at ease, and our daughter felt comfortable and settled with her so quickly. As a new mother, being able to feel that level of trust and reassurance so quickly was invaluable. Our daughter is exclusively breastfed and can be quite tricky when it comes to taking a bottle, so it is not something everyone manages easily. Emma was incredibly patient, tried different techniques, and persevered gently until she managed to get her to take her bottle. This meant I could finally get some much-needed sleep, knowing our daughter was in such capable, caring hands. As an added touch, Emma also cleaned and sterilised my breast pump parts and bottles before leaving, which was incredibly thoughtful and helpful. Emma truly is an absolute gem. She is kind, attentive, professional and naturally gifted with babies. I would recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for someone they can genuinely trust and feel at ease with. We were so lucky to have her help! Lara de Vinck - 20/10/2026
Our night nanny Joan was a huge part of helping me find my feet as a mother, and I will always be incredibly grateful to her. Any family would be extremely lucky to have her caring for their newborn. I would recommend her without hesitation and, if we were to have another baby, I would have absolutely no hesitation in asking Joan to come back to us. - 15/09/2026
Before working with Vera, bedtime had taken over our evenings. Our two-year-old had always slept well in her cot, which made things manageable alongside our four-year-old, who needed a lot of hands-on support. But once we moved her to a toddler bed and moved house, everything changed - suddenly we had two high-need children wanting to be cuddled to sleep or ending up in our bed. Bedtime routinely ran until 9pm, sometimes 10.30-11pm, and disrupted nights meant we were not sleeping properly. It was affecting our own sleep, our time together as a couple, and my concentration at work.We'd tried various apps and a light-touch virtual sleep consultant before, but in the end realised we needed something more hands-on and face-to-face.As firm believers in attachment, I was worried a sleep consultant would leave the children to cry it out alone. Vera was nothing like that. She was clear and simple with boundaries and language, but would always go straight to the children when they cried, reassuring and settling them. What really resonated with us was that her approach combined strong connection and nurturing with building confidence and healthy independence.Two months on, our life has changed considerably. Our two-year-old now falls asleep within five minutes of being put down before 8pm, and sleeps through until 7am. The same approach worked for our four-year-old too - she now settles herself after stories, with no more tears or trips to our bed in the night. Vera gave us clear guidance on exactly what to say and do, gradually handing responsibility back to us over five nights so we felt confident carrying it forward ourselves.We can't recommend Vera highly enough to other parents in the same position. - 07/09/2026
We hired Sabrinah as we knew we would need support at night to help us through the early days. We live in central London and do not have family nearby. It was a bit of a shock when our baby came a week early. Thankfully, I had a prep meeting with her beforehand where she came to the house to see where things were, and she also had a checklist of items she would need to support us in the best way possible. This meant we could hit the ground running. Her help was invaluable as our baby struggled with colic. She recommended many great products and ideas to make our baby more comfortable. Sabrinah has a gentle spirit and wonderful attitude. Looking forward to contacting her again for baby number two. - 07/09/2026

Connie has worked with our family since early June, looking after our twin boys several nights each week, and she has been absolutely wonderful.The boys were only about three months old when Connie started with us, and she very quickly got to know both of their individual personalities and needs. She has been incredible with them and was a huge help in establishing a good nighttime routine and settling them into much better sleeping and feeding patterns.Connie is an incredibly warm, kind and caring person, and we have always felt completely comfortable leaving the boys in her care. We trust her, which for us is one of the most important things you can say about someone looking after your babies overnight.She is calm, experienced, reliable and genuinely lovely to have around the house. The boys have always been extremely well cared for with her, and we have felt very lucky to have had her support during these early months with twins.We would wholeheartedly recommend Connie to any family looking for a night nanny.

Great experience with Night Nannies Great experience with Night Nannies. Very happy with the candidates they found. - 27/08/2026
As a first-time mother, finding someone I could completely trust to care for my newborn at night was incredibly important to me. I reached out to the agency that provided us with a selection of excellent nannies, and we ultimately chose Beatrice. We couldn’t have been happier with our decision.From the very beginning, Beatrice was calm, reassuring and incredibly capable. Her gentle and confident manner immediately put me at ease, which was invaluable during those early weeks as a new mother. I always felt completely comfortable knowing that my baby was in her care overnight.Beatrice was attentive, reliable and wonderfully nurturing. She seemed to instinctively understand what my baby needed and approached everything with patience and kindness. She was also a wonderful source of reassurance and support for me, sharing her experience without ever being overbearing and respecting the way we wanted to care for our baby.Having Beatrice with us made such a difference during those first weeks and allowed me to get the rest I needed, knowing my baby was safe and exceptionally well cared for.I would wholeheartedly recommend Beatrice to any family looking for a night nanny.

I would highly recommend Emmanuela. She is very friendly and warm. Offered us great advice and support in the early newborn phase. Was very caring to our little baby girl and went out of her way to help me get some stretches of sleep at the beginning. She was a lovely presence in our house. - 21/08/2026
Irene K helped us from the day we came home from the hospital in mid-January until the end of May (4.5 months). In the absence of my mum and sisters, Irene's support was invaluable and Night Nannies made the process smooth and straightforward.She helped with breastfeeding, bottle cleaning and sterilising, doing baby's laundry from washing to folding and putting away, organising baby's clothes for storage as he grew, and advice on nappies, bottles, routines, and support after vaccinations.Irene was professional, punctual, calm, quiet, understated and easy to have around. She looked after my son with tremendous care. Her support gave me the time and space to sleep, get myself back on track, and build my confidence with my first newborn. I also appreciated her significant experience as a nurse which was useful when I had questions or concerns, and particularly after his vaccinations.It was extremely expensive but I made peace with it as an investment in my mental and physical health, and that of my baby. And it really was worth it. When I met up with my antenatal class friends over those first weeks and even at 4-5 months it was obvious to all that I was much more relaxed, well-slept and confident than them, and the baby was calm and settled, all entirely because of Irene's help. If it's an option, I cannot recommend having someone from Night Nannies enough. Even if for 1-2 nights a week, any support they can offer will make a positive difference. - 15/08/2026
The absolute best start for me and my son My baby arrived 2.5 weeks early and the night nanny I had arranged months earlier was not able to help me due to a family emergency. We called Night Nannies and within a few hours we had a few options. The process with them was very smooth throughout the five months. Irene K came to help the night that I came back from the hospital. Her help was absolutely invaluable. I thought I would need her maybe for 6-8 weeks; she ended up working with me until my son was 5 months, from January-June 2026. Her support and expertise for those early months put me and my son on such a good footing; we are both calm, relaxed, happy, well-bonded, and in a good routine. As a solo parent, without a mum or sisters around, I needed practical support overnight as well as advice and confidence-building. Irene did part of the jobs that they would have done. Irene worked 9pm-7am Monday night-Thursday night. (For the first 3 months I had someone else help on Friday and Saturday nights and did Sunday nights alone). She was in the living room with the baby in a Moses basket, while I slept in my bedroom. Irene helped me with breastfeeding, then burped the baby and put him down to sleep. Once he was asleep she washed the bottles, did any bits of washing up, got the kitchen clean and tidy for me, put baby's laundry on and dried and folded it overnight. Irene had the knowledge and experience to advise when to change things; at one point I needed to sleep better so I expressed overnight and she gave him the bottle of expressed milk. She knew when he was ready for a bigger teat, when to increase the amounts we were feeding. She showed me how to top and tail him, explained when to pick him up and when to leave him singing or playing. In months 4 and 5 as our needs were changing she wrote a routine which I have continued to use and find invaluable. I picked up a lot of small tips from watching how she did things. When I met up with my antenatal class friends it was obvious that I was much more relaxed and confident than them, largely thanks to having Irene's support and expertise. Irene was really a pleasure to work with and have around. She is understated, calm, and easy to have around. Always impeccably punctual and good at communicating if she was held up and going to be late. She looked after my son absolutely beautifully, showing him care, patience, love. I trust her entirely, would immediately use her and Night Nannies again, and wholeheartedly recommend Night Nannies. It was expensive but 100% worthwhile - I got good sleep, was supported in breastfeeding and transitioning to formula, was calm, wasn't overwhelmed by laundry and bottle cleaning, and my son is relaxed, settles himself, and in a pretty good routine. - 15/08/2026
