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!

Night Nannies were quick and responsive to work with and found us an extremely experienced night nanny who took great care of our newborn daughter, letting us get some rest. She was warm and professional, with a wealth of advice if you asked for it. We felt totally comfortable and reassured having her with us and she was supportive through breast feeding and digestive issues. Our daughter loved being with our night nanny and found her very calming and soothing. I credit us having a baby who sleeps well at night with the good practices that she helped us put in place. Thank you!

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.

The night nanny that Night Nannies sent was our night nanny from the night we took our son home from the hospital until he was 8 weeks old. We cannot recommend her more highly. Every night, she arrived at 9pm like a beam of sunshine. Not only was she incredibly competent at taking care of our baby, but she also could take an incredibly stressful day and turn it around within 5 minutes. Every evening, we would talk through the day and discuss ways we could make the next day easier. She taught us an incredible amount about how to take care of our son, and I strongly believe that having her there was the difference between barely functioning and actively enjoying those incredibly challenging first weeks. We felt completely confident leaving our baby in her hands, and came to look forward to our evening chats with her. She felt like family from the moment she walked in the door. In addition to caring for our baby, she cleaned and sterilised all of the baby bottles and breast pump parts If we are blessed with a second child, the first thing we'll do when we find out is to book her as our night nanny We cannot recommend her highly enough

Our night nanny started working with us when our daughter—our first baby—was a few days old, for around eight weeks. It is impossible to overstate what a game-changer she was for us. Without family nearby, she came into our home and provided the insight, assurance and support that we needed. Our daughter is a great sleeper as a result of our night nanny’s work with her in those early days and weeks – she taught us the basics of a night sleep routine, how to use sleep aids like swaddling and white noise, and how to settle to sleep. In addition to her sympathetic and professional demeanor, we greatly appreciate her genuine interest in our daughter—she follows up for updates on how both she and we are doing to this day. We would recommend Night Nannies without any hesitation.

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.

Great experience overall Great experience overall. We were provided with a maternity nurse to help with the first two weeks of having our premature twin baby girls back at home after the hospital, and we were very happy with how it all went.

Highly recommend We werent sure what the process was in respect of hiring a night nanny but fortunately, Sally made the process easy. The quality of candidates was really high and we are super happy with Cate. Sleeping well on selected nights of the week makes for having a happier family life.

Our nanny via night nannies Our nanny via night nannies - where do I start? She is amazing. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Professional, personable, intuitive, sensitive, incredibly knowledgable due to her medical background which is so useful and reassuring. She knows exactly the right amount of info and update to give to a parent. She's wonderful and I'm absolutely devastated she's moved to South London as we really wanted to hire her permanently as a day nanny. Whoever works with her will be extremely lucky. I cannot recommend her in strong enough terms.
