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.

Brenda is fantastic! She was instrumental in helping us with establishing a routine for our 5 month old. Our son’s daytime napping has improved drastically after her programme - from being a baby who would only nap on me, he learnt how to fall asleep independently at more less the same times during the day. Before Brenda’s programme our son would wake up few times a night which Brenda managed to transform into a peaceful long sleep from 8 until 6/7 am. Her method is centered around establishing a feeding and napping routine and allowing the baby to learn how to fall asleep without being fed/rocked to sleep. We feel it has been unfairly labelled by some as the „cry it out” method - that’s definitely too dramatic. While it does involve some crying, for our baby it generally meant crying for 10-15 min max before falling asleep at the beginning and now even less so. First few days of implementing her routine are tough but then it gets so much easier for everybody. We would highly recommend Brenda to any parents whose little ones are struggling with any napping/sleeping/feeding issues!

We are based in Adelaide, Australia with our 5 month old son. Brenda helped us remotely with your son’s day time routine and sleep. Within 2 nights he was sleeping through the night. She was very responsive and supportive at all hours of the day or night (especially important given the time difference). Worth every cent

Brenda certainly delivers results and routine! Within 2 days our 6 month old went from waking 3 times a night to sleeping 7-7.
Brenda’s method certainly isn’t for the faint hearted but if you want your child sleeping well, that’s exactly what she will get you! She also helped us with a good feeding pattern and confidence which helped as we entered weaning territory.

Brenda certainly got results, our baby went from not being able to sleep well at all to sleeping through the night after just one night of Brenda’s sleep training. It wasn’t perfect but it has been remarkably improved. We cannot fault Brenda on her results, however we found the process incredibly stressful and her approach / tone harsh and difficult at times. That said, we are pleased we did it and thank you Brenda for getting us our sleep again!

Brenda’s support has been invaluable to us. Brenda has helped us with both our daughters and within days of meeting her our day to day routine was transformed, for the better! We have two very happy girls who have consistently slept through the night from 3/4 months. It is such a comfort to know that with all her experience she always has a solution and if you follow her advice it will work out! Brenda has a fantastic way with children and although the advice might seem extreme at first she has children’s (and parents!!) best interests at the forefront of everything that she suggests. Thank you Brenda!

I couldn't recommend Brenda enough! She was such a huge help with my 2 year old and 6 month old.
We had been having problems with my 2 year old walking in the night and since the day she arrived after following her advice he stopped waking!
If we had any questions she was always available to help very quickly and left us feeling confident!
We have two children both sleeping through 🙂

Brenda gets the job done. Her methods are hardcore and may not be for everyone, but her plan worked for our 6 month old and we are enjoying him sleeping through the night and much better during the day now.

We have used Brenda twice now, both times she has really helped. It's not only the initial help, it's the on-going support that really makes a difference. Thank you, Brenda.

Brenda’s sleep training is life changing. Our 4 month old baby had been a terrible sleeper since birth. We were lucky if we could get a couple of hours from him a night. Brenda came along and within a few days our baby was sleeping for eleven hours uninterrupted. He now consistently sleeps through the night. Would highly recommend to anybody who is struggling with getting their baby sleep. Thank you Brenda.

Brenda has been wonderful and helped us getting our 21 months old daughter back on track. Following many changes (house, new sibling) our daughter started having a terrible sleep. Brenda spotted straight away what the issues were and put a routine together so that we could get our daughter to sleep through the night again. It worked very well! Should we ever need more help, we will get in touch with Brenda straight away.

Brenda has helped us helped us twice and her methods have really worked with our children. We first met Brenda when she helped us with our triplets in 2022. We recently had another baby and called on Brenda's expertise again. Our 3 month old baby is now sleeping 7pm - 7am. Brenda is very responsive and helpful with any issues encountered during the sleep training process. We would highly recommend Brenda! Thank you!

Brenda completely transformed our baby’s sleep. Previously we were dealing with numerous wakings, and barely getting a stretch of more than 3hours of sleep, often waking after an hour. Our baby now sleeps through the night and has settled well into their new daytime routine that Brenda provided.

Brenda set our daughter up to be a superb sleeper from 5month. So when we hit a regression and anticipated change from cot to bed at 2.8 we knew who to call to tell us what to do. As was before, Brenda steered the ship through the rocky seas and into the calm. We truly could not have gotten back to an ideal sleep routine for her and us with out Brenda. Her three week support means you get to witness the transformation from before to after the routine settles in. Her guidance sets you up with tools to be successful after her departure. She is wealth of knowledge and experience and so you get access to a lot of information and best practice.

Best decision ever to contact Brenda. She was the push we needed to change our Way of doing things. We live in denmark and that worked fine as Well. Our daughter is 5 and our main issues were eating and behavior.

Brenda is an expert. Top of her game. We cannot recommend her highly enough. She has transformed our lives as parents.
We consulted Brenda when our 5 month old’s sleep had gone awry over the preceding few weeks.
Brenda parachuted in to the rescue (her responsiveness to enquiries can only be unrivalled). Within a couple of nights our baby transformed from waking every few hours and with hideous drawn out bedtimes, to sleeping through (and properly - no dream feeds - 7pm to 7am). We now pop our baby down and walk out each night and there is no crying.
It was not only the sleep. Brenda also:
- Provided advice to help our baby accept a bottle (a success);
- Transformed our baby’s feeding - from being a serial snacker to having fewer fixed and effective feeds;
- Has changed our baby through the routines to a happy one (previously the days were difficult as our baby was often grizzly).
We knew what we should be doing, but executing it whilst emotionally intertwined was challenging. Brenda made us accountable to her, and caused us to follow through with what was needed. Her direct style yields results. There’s no messing around.
Magician; baby whisperer; whatever it is, Brenda’s input has been genuinely unbelievable. Thank you.

Brenda has been such a brilliant educator and support for us to get our baby into a routine that works & that is suited to his needs. We really appreciated her no-nonsense approach to the training and her strictness had firm reasoning. She explained why we needed to be strict with it and what would happen if we weren’t. Within a few nights we had weaned our (then 6 month) baby off his night feed & he slept through 7-7!
The WhatsApp support we had the following weeks was so helpful with a few tweaks made to the schedule based on feedback. Brenda was also quick to answer any queries we had. By the end of it we felt confident that we had the tools/understanding to keep going ourselves with our finalised plan.
We’d recommend Brenda to anyone who is thinking about sleep training, it really has been life changing! Our baby is happy in his routine and so are we. It’s been amazing to have our evenings back without thinking about dream feeds and inevitable night wake ups, plus knowing we will also get a good nights sleep ourselves is just great. Thank you, Brenda!

Such a life changing experience working with Brenda! Our ten month old had been waking up every 1-2 hrs for two months and she got us to her sleeping through the night in a week. Her supportive and encouraging coaching really enabled us to get there. Thanks so much Brenda!

Brenda was such a helpful, experienced and reliable night nanny for our son from birth to 8 weeks. Having Brenda throughout the week to give advice and most importantly enable us to get a full nights sleep was invaluable.
Would have no reservations in recommending Brenda

Reply from Sleep Consultant & Parent Adviser.
We worked with her to sleep train our (almost) 6 month year old baby. Within 4 days we had baby sleeping in their own room and through the night. Brenda helped us to introduce a routine, which she strongly believes in, and gave us a kickstart on weaning.
The level of communication Brenda provides is fantastic. She is always very responsive to questions on sleep and other areas of care. She also takes the time to check in, providing a great level of support.
It was challenging to make the adjustments to begin with, when you're used to a certain rhythm with your baby. However, Brenda is on hand to answer questions and when you start to see the benefits for baby and parent it all starts to make more sense.
We are very grateful we took Brenda on!

Reply from Sleep Consultant & Parent Adviser.
Brenda definitely gets results! She came over to spend a few hours with us, meet our little one and see how we interact with him. She gave us a routine and over the next few weeks made little tweaks to build the right routine specifically for our little one.
We had tried the cry it out method before with no success, but within a few days with Brenda, bub’s sleep was transformed. We also got great advice on his eating and other habits.
Thanks Brenda!
