Do you need some support and advice on routines as well as a good nights sleep? I help and support parents to guide their babies into a routine, and help to get breast or formula feeding well established. Parents can catch up on their sleep knowing that someone experienced & trustworthy is caring for their precious bundle through the night.
I have extensive newborn experience and am confident with all aspects of babycare including feeding, changing, winding, soothing, bathing, hygiene & administering medication.
I am experienced with prem babies, twins, reflux, colic, allergies, eczema, special/additional needs, medical conditions, post-op care, ng tube fed babies, epipens, administering medication & disabilities. I have
experience of baby massage having completed a 5 week baby massage course with
my son when he was younger.
If baby is formula fed, I do all of the night feeds, plus winding/settling etc
to allow parents to have an undisturbed night. If baby is breastfed & Mum does
not wish to express for a bottle feed (or is not able to), I wake Mum when baby needs a feed and
wind/settle baby afterwards allowing Mum to go straight back to sleep.
I can take on long or short term night nanny bookings, or just one-off 'ad hoc' nights. Typical night nannying hours
are 9pm-7am, but this is flexible to suit your needs. Night Nannying can be
combined with evening babysitting to enable parents to have a night out as well
as a good nights sleep. I can also stay later the following morning to allow
parents to have a lie-in if desired.
I am also available on a trouble-shooting basis and offer sleep training for older babies/toddlers who
struggle to sleep through the night. A one-off visit or series of visits allows me to support parents and advise on strategies for encouraging positive sleeping patterns. I can stay overnight to help to implement these strategies if desired. On-going support is available afterwards including phone calls, emails and follow up visits if needed.
