I offer both overnight and daytime childcare and am flexible to meet your family's individual needs. I specialise in overnight newborn care, supporting families, especially new mothers, through the challenges of sleep deprivation. My attentive and compassionate approach ensures your baby or young child is well cared for throughout the night, allowing you to enjoy the rest you need. I am patient, loving, reliable, and committed to providing the highest standard of care.

For your peace of mind, I am First Aid trained, hold an enhanced DBS check, and am a former police officer, bringing an additional level of professionalism, trust, and responsibility to my role. I also hold a full UK driving licence, am fully mobile, and can provide child car seats, including newborn seats, for outings or school runs if required.
I'm also comfortable caring for families with pets, so every member of your household will feel at ease.

We were incredibly grateful to Lana for stepping in at the very last minute after our previous nanny let us down for a night shift. From the moment she arrived, she was calm, professional, and reassuring, which immediately put us at ease.
Lana handled everything with confidence and care, ensuring our child was comfortable and well looked after throughout the night. It’s never easy to trust someone new on short notice, but she exceeded our expectations and made a stressful situation feel completely manageable.
We truly appreciate her reliability and willingness to help on such short notice. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lana to anyone in need of a dependable and caring nanny.
