Waking up multiple times throughout the night to tend to your baby can be exhausting, often leading to sleep deprivation and fatigue. The primary purpose of a night nanny is to enhance the quality and quantity of your sleep while providing you with the support you need as you navigate the challenges of new parenthood. As a dedicated night nanny, I am here to nurture and care for your newborn, allowing you the necessary time to rest, recover and recharge. 

The respite services I provide are flexible so that they can be best tailored to your specific weekly needs. The support I offer might be especially beneficial if you are recovering from a caesarean section or difficult delivery. Whether you need temporary assistance to re-establish your routine or simply an extra set of hands in the absence of family support, I am here to help. I will manage all aspects of your baby's care, while respecting your preferences regarding sleep and feeding, ensuring you get the vital rest you need.

I adhere to safe sleep practices for infants, following the guidance provided by the Lullaby Trust and NHS recommendations.
