All members of our team have excellent newborn experience. They might be paediatric nurses, midwives, maternity nurses, paramedics, health visitors or qualified nannies and postnatal doulas with extensive newborn experience. Some have specialist skills with twins and triplets. They all have enhanced training and recent pediatric first aid certificates.

Your Night Nanny will arrive at 10pm and leave at 6am. These hours can be more flexible if pre-arranged directly with the nanny. She will not only care for your child, but will also guide your child to sleep through the night. The Agency will do its utmost to give you the same Nanny for the entire period that you require – for a maximum of up to three months. After this time, your Night Nanny will have established a good sleep routine for your baby. You can have a Night Nanny for anywhere between 1 and 6 nights a week.

A Night Nanny will do any of the following:

* night feeds
* change nappies
* settle the baby
* prepare and sterilise bottles
* dress and prepare the baby in the morning
* give help and advice on getting the baby into a sleep routine
* offer strategies on coping with post-natal depression
* stay longer in the mornings to allow you a lie-in
* give advice on breast-feeding
* she is NOT responsible for domestic cleaning or laundry

Our Policy
In line with current medical opinion, Night Nannies will only start guiding babies to sleep through the night once they are on solids, which is normally from about 5-6 months old. Up until that time babies will need to feed at 3 or 4 hourly intervals, although from age 3 months a baby may naturally start going a little longer between feeds.

This is a highly specialist part of the team who have expertise in training older babies (from 6 months to 5 years) to sleep through the night. They will explain their strategies (which are tailored to your specific needs) to you beforehand so that you will understand what is happening. They will NOT abandon your baby to cry but will implement consistent methods in a calm manner so that your child understands what is expected. Once your child is sleeping through the night you will notice a significant change for the better in his behaviour, his attention and his sleeping habits.

A post-natal doula is much like an old-fashioned granny. She will take siblings to school, undertake laundry, shopping, cooking and light housework as well as helping you with your new baby. A doula does not live-in.

A Super-Nanny will come to your home during the day to resolve problems like weaning, transition from breast to bottle feeding, potty-training, nutritional advice, table-manners, behavioural issues, sibling rivalry, discipline issues, feeding and sleeping routines.

Some of our Night Nannies have expertise in breast-feeding counselling. They will carry out a home or hospital visit to resolve any issues you may be having early on.
