About Me
Hello - we have 2 fabulous young, active, inquisitive boys (18 months & 4) and are looking for maternity cover for our current nanny (min 10 months from mid Aug) who has been with us for 4 years. We are looking for c 50 hours a week as we are 2 full time working parents. It’s a pivotal time for us as the youngest is developing and growing so fast, and the oldest starts school in September so we’re really keen to find the right nanny for them both to be their parental extension. We have a very well behaved Labrador too who is out all day and dotes over the boys. We are an active, outdoorsy, loving family.

As soon as we knew baby number 2 was well on the way, we got back in touch with Sarah, who supported us with our first son. Sarah helped us with nights 3 times a week - helped us establish good sleeping and eating routines, reminded us ‘how babies work’ and re-instilled confidence in our parenting (a few toddler tips too). Baby 1 slept through 10-7am at 11 weeks and baby 2 at 10 weeks. It’s not easy but it’s certainly easier with Sarah’s help! I would highly recommend it.

We found Brenda on childcare.co.uk and struck gold! Brenda supported us closely for the first few months of our little boys life as a night nurse, breast feeding advice, routine planning, and most invaluably gave us confidence to dive into parenting, which being our first child, was a huge unknown! Brenda is incredibly professional, experienced, knowledgable, and dare I say it - always right, because her experience of multiple years leaves few baby habits unseen!
Brenda has also looked after our son for days when I kept in touch with work and they had a great time. I didn't worry about our son in Brenda's care for a second and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone - in fact, I have already recommended her to several friends, particularly for 'routine setting' help who now share our gratitude and admiration of her fantastic work, and sleep results.

Thank you Ruth, big kiss to Myles! X
Sarah helped us a few nights a week with our new baby boy for 8 weeks and was simply fabulous, a joy to meet, learn from and enabled us to get some much needed rest to be better parents in the day!
Sarah's extremely personable and wins your confidence immediately. From the minute she picked up Myles he melted in her arms and we never thought twice about her expertise in looking after him through the night. In week 8 he slept right through - the detriment of her own success!
