About Me

Experienced Night Nanny, Maternity Nurse & Newborn Sleep Trainer
Dear Parents,

I am a dedicated Night Nanny, Maternity Nurse, and Newborn Sleep Trainer with over 16 years of experience in caring for newborns and young children. Previously working as a day nanny, I now specialize in providing overnight care, ensuring both babies and parents get the rest they need during those crucial early months.

As a certified Maternity Nurse (Level 3) and Newborn Sleep Trainer, my expertise includes:
~Establishing gentle and effective sleep routines
~Assisting with overnight feeding (breastfeeding and bottle-feeding support)
~Managing nighttime soothing and settling techniques
~Helping parents transition babies into healthy, independent sleep habits
~Offering postnatal support for mothers recovering from childbirth

I understand how exhausting the newborn stage can be, which is why I focus on creating a calm, structured nighttime environment that allows both baby and parents to wake up feeling more rested. Whether you need short-term support or ongoing overnight care, I provide tailored solutions to fit your family's needs.

Qualifications & Certifications:
•Certified Maternity Nurse (Level 3)
•Newborn Sleep Training Specialist
•NVQ Level 3 in Health & Social Care
•Paediatric First Aid (Up to Date)
•Enhanced DBS Check (Up to Date)
•Health & Safety & Safeguarding Training
•Member of PACEY (Professional Association for Childcare and Early Years)
•Public Liability Insurance

As a mother of four (now aged 17, 19, 23and 27), I bring both professional expertise and personal experience to my role. I am committed to supporting families through the early months, ensuring newborns receive gentle, responsive care while parents gain much-needed rest and reassurance.

If you are looking for a trusted, knowledgeable, and compassionate night nanny, I would love to help. Please feel free to reach out to discuss how I can support your family's needs.

Best regards,
Michaela

After we had to let our night nurse go after one night due to some very dangerous things she did with our newborn we were desperate to find someone last minute. We are so lucky Micah was available and she immediately gave us confidence she would be both warm and caring as well as professional. If we are lucky enough to have another baby we will be engaging her again in an instant!

Micha was our night nanny for our newborn baby boy until he was 14 weeks, and we couldn't recommend her more!
Our baby adores her - and she is calm, thoughtful and such a lovely person. She's very experienced and we immediately felt at ease with her.
She was also always reliable and on time.
It was wonderful to get some extra sleep or to go out for dinner knowing our baby is in such good hands. We loved her!

Thank you so much Lotte for such a lovely review. Its been a pleasure to look after Marlowe. Take care always. Lots of love x

Micah looked after our baby for 3 weeks two nights a week when our baby was 2 months old. She is very professional, calm and polite . She helped us get some sleep at night and set up a good routine for our baby. Our baby and our older daughter were very calm around her. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a maternity nurse.
