Claire worked with us from 2nd October to 23rd November 2025, supporting us three nights a week from when our baby was just one week old until she was eight weeks.
The support Claire provided during this period genuinely transformed our experience as new parents. She helped us feel confident, reassured, and able to enjoy those early weeks with our daughter.
Claire’s approach was excellent: she brought a wealth of experience and gentle guidance, while always listening carefully to our wishes and prioritising what was most important to us. Her advice around breastfeeding, expressing, and the introduction of bottle feeding was incredibly helpful and reassuring, and it enabled us to confidently establish a mixed-feeding routine that worked for our family.
The routine Claire introduced was hugely beneficial and created a sense of predictability for our baby that we wouldn’t have achieved on our own. It made life feel more manageable and extended far beyond the nights she was with us: allowing us to get out more, establish a rhythm as a family, and better anticipate our baby’s needs.
Claire is both warm and highly professional, and we always felt completely confident that our baby was in safe, caring hands. As a result, we were able to get some much-needed rest. One of the biggest changes we saw during her time with us was our baby’s sleep: she went from only contact sleeping to sleeping in her basket every night, including on the nights Claire wasn’t here. This transition would have been far more difficult without Claire’s support, and all three of us sleep better because of her.
Claire was consistently punctual, reliable, and communicative. She was always flexible and ready to adapt to our needs each night. If we were ever worried about something, she helped by either identifying issues early or reassuring us with her experience.
We would absolutely rebook Claire in the future and wholeheartedly recommend her to any parents looking for expert, compassionate support. She is a genuinely lovely person who made us feel comfortable and supported from the very beginning.
