Company details

  1. Child Care Center

Written by the company

A professional qualified and experienced nanny offering consultancy and advice to parents of newborn babies and children. The advice and support is non judgmental, easy, straight forward, supportive and practical. After a lifetime of working in a career with babies and children I have a wealth of experience to share. An additional 3 years experience working in a special care baby unit with sick and premature babies and 21 years supporting parents overnight as a night nanny. This experience has enabled me to condence my knowledge and share it with parents who may have become parents for the first time. The advice, support and practical help in most cases takes place in the parents home. If the parents are overseas the help can be shared in an online meeting or phone call. Advice is very much a personal approach to the individual child and the uniqueness of that family life. Ethnicity and cultural backgrounds are always taken consideration as many families live overseas and parents come from diverse backgrounds. Above all I respond well to communication and support each family with the same enthusiasm with my job today as I did the first day I became a trained nursery nurse.

My kids sleep now!

Brenda was recommended to me by a friend who had used her with both her low sleep needs babies. I was feeling at my wits end as a single parent with 2 kids, 4 and 1.5, sharing a room. Brenda took the time to understand us and our needs during our home visit and came up with a plan to help all of us get sleep. I now have kids that sleep through the night which means everyone is getting the sleep they need and so can be the parent I want and need to be. I highly recommend her.

Brenda met our son when he was 12 weeks old and within 3 days he was sleeping through the night. She also helped us with a day time routine, which our son loves (he genuinely looks happy when he gets into his sleeping bag) and it brings structure to both his and my day. I cannot recommend Brenda enough!

Great sleep support

Brenda was extremely helpful and managed to get our 9 month old baby to sleep through the night.
Her precise routine worked well in improving both our baby’s sleeping and feeding patterns.

Great sleep trainer

Brenda was an excellent sleep trainer. She got us into a strict daytime routine which helped massively with naps and meal times. She also got our 7 month old to sleep through the night which is an absolute game changer. She was always available via WhatsApp throughout the training period and could answer any questions we had.

Thank you. Not too strict a routine as there has to be flexibility. Life is unpredictable. I like to call it consistency. You have established good sleeping now so you are able to relax a little. Don't get complacent, keep ahead of the game! :-)

Instant transformation

Brenda got us going immediately with a plan and routine that took us from chaotic cosleeping to our 5-month-old sleeping through the night in his own room, within 24 hours. Her approach is utterly direct and no nonsense, and requires pretty unwavering tough love. You have to be prepared for your baby to cry. I did tweak a couple of elements, but the governing principles worked very well and very quickly.

Thank you. It is unlikely any mum would get away with training their child with no crying. If you are to change things and communicate to your child this is what you have to do to get the message across. However, the results make it all worthwhile! ;-)

Game changer

Brenda is a miracle worker. Our 6.5 month old son had 0 routine and each we tried to implement didn’t work, he was waking throughout the night and naps in the day were unpredictable. He also wouldn’t take a bottle and weaning was an issue. After our initial session with Brenda, ,(where she came to us outside of London) he was pretty much sleeping through the night, took a bottle and started to eat. It’s given us our sleep back and gave us confidence to sleep train which we were nervous about. He now sleeps loves the bottle and eats more. We can’t thank Brenda enough and highly recommend her. Her methods make so much sense and you see instant results.

Thank you. Yes, it is fair to say most parents want a result quite quickly as they are tired and not in a good place. My way of working does bring that result quickly but I am flexible and can go slowly if the parent prefers to work slowly. So pleased he is doing well on all fronts! :-)

Life changing - the best money we’ve ever spent

This was the best money I think we have ever spent! Brenda literally changed our lives. We have a 20month old girl (who was 3 months premature) - at the time of reaching out to Brenda we were all broken, including our baby girl. It would be a complete roulette on putting her down to sleep and sometimes take over an hour. We were up 3 times a night and starting our day by 5am, sometimes earlier. All Whilst juggling full time jobs and nursery for her.
After 3 hours with us in person, where Brenda really listened to and understood our journey, she implemented a routine that almost immediately showed improvement. within 2 nights she wasn’t waking up during the night, and within a week, with tweaks to the routine thanks to the daily contact with Brenda, she was finally sleeping through. Plus she had a much better relationship with food. All of which meant a much happier baby.
Not just that, the routine has meant we could go on holiday, go away for the weekend, adapt things slightly and still have a peaceful night.
I’ve got lots of friends who have used sleep consultants and tried to pass on tips, but what we learnt is that it is completely unique to your child’s needs, and that’s what Brenda addressed for us.
Thank you so much, Brenda, you’ve turned our lives around.

Great family business ...

We first worked with Brenda's sister Sarah as a night nanny and sleep trainer when our son was born, and she was absolutely wonderful. More recently, when our son turned two, we reached out to Brenda for some help and guidance - she came for an afternoon visit and followed up with WhatsApp support that was simply incredible.

Her advice was spot-on, practical, and delivered with such warmth and reassurance. Within days we saw a huge improvement in our son's sleep and general routine. Brenda has that rare combination of deep experience, calm authority, and genuine care that immediately puts you at ease.

I can't recommend Brenda (and her family team) highly enough, she is a lifesaver for new parents and for anyone who just needs some expert help getting things back on track.

Finally got our son sleeping consistently

Brenda has made a real difference for our family. Our 8-month-old has some medical issues, so we were reluctant to try strict sleep training and weren't sure a structured approach would work for us. Brenda understood our hesitations but gave us the confidence to implement a routine that would work for our son.
He now sleeps through the night and naps like clockwork during the day. The change has been huge for all of us - we went from exhausted and overwhelmed to rested and capable parents. Highly recommend Brenda's knowledgeable and reassuring guidance

A pathway out of the trenches!

We enlisted Brenda’s help following a recommendation from friends. She came to assist with my 8 month old baby - who was waking 8 times a night, and my 4 year old with some structure and behaviour issues. Within 3 nights, our baby was sleeping through from 7pm - 6:30am. Our 4 year old also made some big leaps forward. Brenda’s approach is direct, no nonsense and exactly what we needed to give us a clear pathway forward. We were utterly in the trenches and Brenda gave us the tools to pull us out.

Routine and Sleep training

Brenda came to help us with our 3 month old baby and her experience and expertise is second to none. Within minutes of being with our daughter she had sussed her out perfectly and managed to establish both a day routine which included non contact naps (so I finally had my hands free!) and also within a few days our baby was sleeping through the night. Our daughter is SO much happier because of it - both feeding better and getting enough sleep and knows her routine. She even smiles when you put her down awake in the evening as she is so happy to be in her cot. It really has been a game changer for us.

Brenda helped us with our 4.5 year old…

Brenda helped us with our 4.5 year old and 2.5 year old, the latter having gone from sleeping through the night to a two hour screaming match at bedtime and waking up every hour post starting nursery wanting me to sleep with him. Brenda is no BS but our boys have slept through the night for the last week or so and I can breathe again!

Life changing!

We first met Brenda in 2023 after struggling to get our 5.5 month old to sleep without contact /follow a routine. Within 36 hours our daughter was sleeping through the night in her own room and has been ever since - she’s now 2 years old!
Brenda’s no nonsense approach really works and she’s now training our 12 week old.
I’d highly recommend as it really is life changing!

From Stair-Walking to Independent Sleep

Before working with Brenda, sleep was a nightmare. Our baby would only fall asleep if she was in our bed or physically on one of us, often requiring us to repeatedly go up and down the stairs to rock her to sleep. Brenda was a game-changer, helping her achieve independent sleep—a massive relief and a step toward independence for everyone. The method proved tough, and because my baby was a bit underweight, I got scared and stopped following the full guidelines. Predictably, at 6 months, the frequent two-hour wake-ups have returned. I now need Brenda's help to fix this and get us back on track

Brenda has helped us with two night nannying jobs, with our 2 children and is so great at establishing a good routine and strong sleep foundations. Babies understand her no firm approach. We also had her back to help us with our 4 year old with early wakings.

Simple but entirely effective

Simple but so, so effective. I’m almost embarrassed how simple it was to get our baby girl sleeping well, both during the day and at night, but that’s where Brenda’s decades of experience comes in. We started when our daughter was 2 months and she’s been sleeping through the night pretty much ever since. It’s given me the confidence to know how to respond to her, and our days have a lot more predictable structure which is better for everyone. She is the smiliest happiest little girl, and I’m sure it’s because she sleeps and eats so well now. Overall would recommend to any of my new mum friends and in fact have done so.

Brenda is brilliant (even magic).

Brenda is brilliant (even magic).
We had her for both of our daughters, 2.5 yo and 2month-old. The older one had difficulties to go to bed during the night and kept waking up and cries for us during the night. After the visit of Brenda, she started to sleep by herself and rarely cries during the night.
Our youngest took only 2 days to get on the routine Brenda gave us, and slept from 7pm since the day of Brenda’s visit. And now slept through the night.
We got our life back post 7pm, both kids sleeping sound until morning.
Thank you Brenda!
