Dedicated To Making Your Path Into Parenting A Smooth One.
About Me
Hello,
Qualified and experienced NIGHT NANNY/MATERNITY NURSE/TROUBLESHOOTER. I have dedicated over 30 years of my working life to caring for babies and children in various capacities. I have worked with newborns and children up to 10 years of age as a private nanny, in a nursery, SCBU ward in a hospital, teaching in schools, and as a night nurse. Ten years was spent working overseas with children from other countries whose English was their second language. I try to be sensitive to families of other ethnic minority’s and different cultural needs. The last 20 years I have worked as a night nurse and successful sleep trainer. I visit families all around the UK to do consultations, give practical support, and follow up remotely afterwards until we have sorted everything.
I have worked with 60-70 sets of twins, troubleshooting, night nursing and have a twin sister myself.
I am as enthusiastic about working with children today as the day I qualified. I work with each family's individual needs on a one to one level so I can get to know the family and what works best for them. This is followed with daily support afterwards.
I am honest, flexible and hard working.
I hope I can also help you.
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.

We worked Brenda for a few nights a week while our baby was 5-9 weeks old. Brenda gave us lots of confidence in how to manage overnight as first time parents, as well as spotting the severity of her reflux leading to a proper diagnosis. We learned a lot from watching Brenda interact with our daughter - she is a bit magic in how she creates a calm baby!

Thank you Vanessa, it was also nice working with all of you. Let me know if I can be of any more assistance. :-)
My wife and I have a 5 week old baby boy who we had been struggling to settle and put to bed in the evening. We reached out to Brenda, due to her excellent reviews, who was very communicative and was able to help us at short notice. In one night, Brenda taught us several techniques to calm and settle our baby. On the night she was here, he slept the longest he had slept and was the quietest he had been! We have since put those techniques into practice and his sleep (and ours!) have certainly improved. We wouldn't hesitate to hire Brenda again to help us down the line.

Thank you Karen for your kind words.

Brenda looked after our 12 week old baby over 24 hours whilst my husband and I attended a wedding. Our little girl was so settled and happy in Brenda’s care and she used the time to help settle her into a sleep schedule. She’s followed up with schedules for us to follow at home and shared loads of helpful tips and tricks for getting our girl sleeping not only through the night but in her own crib in the day too!

Thank you for your kind words :-) I am glad the weekend was a success.
Brenda came to help us in the first few days after we came back from hospital and continued her fantastic support until our son was happily sleeping through the nights (and she still checks in now to see how we are doing). I was impressed with how accommodating she was to our family needs and my preferences (e.g. she knew that I really wanted to breastfeed and she built our plan around this). We found her approach very clear and well adapted to our son’s age and stage. Thanks to Brenda’s help and structure, we’ve been able to navigate the inevitable ups and downs that come with being first-time parents and having a newborn. Investing in this way in our son’s sleep and daytime routine, and in helping us parent with greater confidence is already paying off in so many ways. Thank you!

Much appreciated!
Brenda has helped with sleep training my baby boy from when he was 8 weeks old, providing us with a detailed sleep schedule to follow and subsequent guidance on implementing it. He now has far more settled nights than he did before and wakes less frequently, which was achieved in a short space of time. Brenda checked in frequently as to his progress and was very responsive with any questions I had. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you for writing a review Vanessa.
Keep in touch if you need any more help x
Brenda came to help with my premature new born twins. She was able to look after them in the night as a night nurse (feeding them as I requested) and then as they grew up help us to get them into a routine and good habits to get them sleeping through the night as quickly as possible. She was happy to be flexible with her timings to suit me and was always available for extra support over the phone if required. The girls are nice and settled and sleep well through the night thanks to her help.

Thank you Xanthe x
We had our baby girl during lockdown and our families don’t live close by either so we found the first few weeks pretty hard going as we had no support. After 6 weeks we were pretty frazzled so we sought Brenda’s help to come and look after our girl for a couple of nights a week to give us a break and re-charge.
Not only did Brenda look after our girl exceptionally well, she has also helped guide us with a day and night routine which has helped us all immensely. She also continues to help answer any queries that we have.
Brenda is very experienced, trustworthy and brings a wealth of practical support - I highly recommend her services and support.

Brenda has been a godsend for us. She took the time to analyse our situation and tailor a schedule for us. My baby sleeps so well now. When we called her, we were at a stage where we thought a good night's sleep wasnt going to happen for us but Brenda gave us a plan and confidence to follow it through. She made herself available whenever we had a question or needed her suggestions. I cannot recommend her enough!! She changed our lives after 4 months of sleep deprivation.

Thank you Jessica for the lovely review. ☺️
When our son was born, we were keen to have an expert give us no- nonsense advice and to start good habits from the outset. Brenda came to help us on Josh's second night at home and has been a couple of night's a week since then. I'm delighted to say that he is now sleeping seven hours through the night, rarely cries and is a happy little boy!
Brenda's experience and confidence have hugely helped us - thank you Brenda!
