Brenda The Nanny

My Summary

My Experience

I currently work full time as a night nurse, maternity nanny and sleep trainer. I worked in a special care baby unit in Abu Dhabi for 3 years so I have experience with premature babies, jaundiced babies, babies who don't feed very well, babies with reflux and any conditions that require monitoring and special care.
I have worked with mums who have post natal depression, complex medical needs or are recovering from a traumatic delivery.

To Whom It May Concern:

Brenda Hart worked for me as a night nanny from December 2018 to January 2019, taking care of my baby from the time she was 4 days old until she was 8 weeks old. During this time, she had sole night time responsibility for my infant daughter anywhere from 2 to 5 nights per week.

Brenda is professional, thoughtful and knowledgeable, with her extensive expertise in caring for babies and children coming through in all aspects of her work. She successfully established bottle feeding for the evening feeds (I breastfed during the day) and a sleep routine for our daughter. Brenda guided me through how to get baby into a daytime routine as well and was always helpful with any questions. It was a great comfort to be able to rely on her during the exhausting first few newborn weeks. By the time my daughter was 7 weeks old she was sleeping 7pm to 7am with just one evening feed, and by 11 weeks old sleeping straight through. The routines that Brenda helped me set in the early days have had future benefits - my daughter is a very contented baby getting the right amount of sleep, food and playtime, and I am able to better manage as a parent.

I highly recommend Brenda and would be happy to discuss further or answer any questions.

Kind regards,
Elizabeth

Night Nanny, Cobham:

Brenda worked with us as a Night Nanny and took care of our daughter a few nights a week from her being 3 days old to her sleeping soundly 12 hours a night by 3 months. I was a very nervous first time Mum with no experience of babies and no family support locally, I was looking for someone to guide me and build my confidence during early days and weeks. Brenda was exceptional with her care for both baby Amber and myself, the routines and support that she has designed work and they work fast, Brenda was always on hand night and day to offer advice by phone or email and never made me feel silly for asking questions. I have a very happy, content baby that sleeps 12 hours a night and knows her routine and I am much more confident and we as a family have Brenda to thank. I cannot recommend Brenda highly enough, the foundations that she has set with Amber are already reaping rewards and will continue to do so for many years as she develops.
