It is with great pleasure that I write this recommendation for our wonderful night nanny and maternity nurse. From the moment she started, she was amazing, and she managed to get our baby sleeping through the night from just 8 weeks old. Initially, I was skeptical that anyone could achieve this, but her confidence was contagious and reassured me that it was possible.
As a new parent who hadn't read any baby books, I was completely unprepared. She guided me through every stage, advising me on what to buy and do as my baby grew. Her knowledge was a saving grace, from recommending a pediatrician for reflux issues to suggesting the best creams for my baby's skin. She truly knows everything!
What sets her apart is that she's not your typical night nanny with rigid rules. She collaborates with you to create a baby routine that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle. Thanks to her, I was able to reclaim my life post-birth while effectively managing the early days with my newborn.
Our baby has not experienced any sleep regression, even with our travels across the US and Europe. Her support extends beyond her time with us; she's always available on WhatsApp for any questions, providing an invaluable sense of security.
I cannot recommend her highly enough. She has been an incredible asset to our family, and any parent would be lucky to have her.

Helen started looking after our 2nd baby boy when he was 4 weeks old, she was amazing with him, my 3.5 year old and us and injected so much positivity and joy into those early days - which can also be a little tricky to navigate on not much sleep! When Helen arrived we always felt so relaxed knowing we were in really safe hands. She could always sense how we were feeling and was very empathetic. She has so much experience managing babies and children, she is a fountain of knowledge and guidance. We wanted Helen in the day-time and some nights to set a very gentle routine which helped our baby eventually sleep through the night by 9 weeks. Helen made those early months so so much easier and our baby is still very calm and easy now. We would 100% recommend Helen to anyone and miss her!

Helen started guiding us even before the baby was born. As first time parents, not only her knowledge and support, but calming and positive energy really meant a lot to us. I could see that she really cared about my baby and our family. Like other reviewer said, she’s really like a family to us!
Thanks to her, we have been almost always happy parents. She accomplished her goal — our baby started sleeping through the night until 6:30/7am by 3 months! And even though he was born premature, his size caught up by following her advice!

Helen made a massive difference to the first few months with our first baby. Aside from the obvious benefits of gaining sleep, she gave us so many tips, words of reassurance and support at a time when we really needed it. She was always brilliant at reading a situation, and would know if I'd had a particularly rough time and would always help in a very gentle way. She genuinely cared for our baby boy and at times we even said she was like a third parent to him. After three months we were left as confident parents, with a baby who has good sleep habits and is most importantly very happy. I couldn't recommend Helen more strongly.

What can I say! I was floundering and then Helen swooped in! I don’t know how she does it, but she had such a calming influence and helped us establish a routine! She helped overnight, and I believe is the one person to thank for how we have got so much sleep!
She helped with bottle feeding, showed so much care for our daughter and we were sad she couldn’t come any longer due to prior commitments she had with other families!
It is a little scary having a ‘stranger’ look after your baby but Helen has a way about her which makes you trust her implicitly!
She was a great support at all hours of the day and we will not forget the help she gave us! Well worth it!

Helen helped us with our baby girl since she was around 3 months. We have been extremely pleased with the level care she provided and her knowledge. Helen is really a super nanny, who tunes into the baby, very easily understands their needs and knows how to respond. She is great to help babies settled into a daily routine and have a good and continuous night sleep. She also noticed that our baby had some signs of an allergic reaction and encouraged us to see the doctor. This was indeed the case, and as a result we have been able to manage the allergy from early on and prevent other allergies to occur. We are very grateful for the care and dedication she showed for our little girl.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Helen to anyone who needs some help (and some sleep!) with their newborn. Helen was with us for nearly 3 months and was absolutely brilliant with our baby (and he absolutely loved her!). He had issues with reflux and cow's milk protein allergy and Helen spotted what was going on straight away and gave us professional and very helpful advice to help with his feeding and sleeping. Even with his issues, Helen helped us establish his routine and he was sleeping through the night at 4 months old! As well as being brilliant at her job, Helen is also a joy to have in the house and I still miss our little chats!! We miss you Helen!!

We had the pleasure to have Helen helping us with our little one for almost 4 months. We had a few maternity nurses before she joined our house and she was by far so much better than the others. Helen is very flexible, kind, reliable and most important so good for our little one. She managed to get him in a good routine respecting his rythm and age. I can’t recommend Helen enough. She has been a blessing in our lives.

Thanks to Helen, being a first-time mom is not so scary anymore.
She guided me from the day my baby was born until he completed 3 months old. Thanks to her, I became a pro at feeding, putting him to sleep, and reading my baby's cues.
She really looked after him and it's clear that she loves her job.
Alexander now sleeps the entire night and has an amazing day routine.

Having been introduced to her via a friend, I first called Helen when my son was 2 weeks old. He would cry almost non-stop but I had no desire to get help because I thought I could do it all on my own. Yet I decided to do a 1 night trial with her and never looked back. Starting with 2 nights a week, she eventually was with us 7 nights a week for the following 3 months or so. She created a gentle and structured routine for our son and throughout passed endless amount valuable tips and information on what & how to do.. not just on the topic of sleep, but literally everything. It would not be an exaggeration to say that almost everything I now know, I learnt from Helen. Even after she left, she proactively continues to guide with her knowledge, positivity and good humour. I would recommend her to every new parent.

Helen was a night nanny for our 6 week old baby. She is very experienced and has seen it all, so she was a very calming influence for us. The first time she held our baby, we could tell she was very comfortable in her arms. She helped us set up a routine for night time success. I couldn't more highly recommend Helen.

I met Helen earlier this year in January when she came in for an interview as I had been desperately seeking help with my four month old.
My first impression of this very polite, well spoken woman was also that of someone very friendly and cheerful.
I remember telling her that we struggled with settling my son for his day time naps. She asked to meet him and have a try. For us a miracle happened : our baby was in deep sleep within 5 minutes!
Helen is a very skilled nanny/ maternity nurse and she has fantastic ways with babies, I could not have hoped for a better nanny. She helped my son develop a stable sleep routine within no time, and I was also able to gain back much needed rest. Other people have called her a « baby whisperer » on her reviews and I couldn’t agree more.
My son’s development over the months with Helen was incredible. He became very sociable, more confident and a very happy baby. It was a pleasure to see them together everyday and all mothers want to be able to have their child in the best possible hands.
Weaning was made easy and fun thanks to Helen’s knowledge and cooking skills. Her food is delicious ( also for adults) and my son has enjoyed discovering various tastes with her, whether through purées or self feeding. Up to now he is not a fussy eater and will have anything.
Through Helen I also gained a lot of confidence as a first time mother. She is a great listener, with a lot of empathy and she is also a kind and generous person who looks out after others and under privileged, having helped many natives in her home country. A truly inspiring person. She is always full of good advice and knows her ways around town for kids activities and playgroups, she takes initiatives and is always in a good mood.
Seeing our son take his first steps at only 10 months old with Helen was an emotional moment for us.
Sadly we had to part ways as we are moving, and Helen is deeply missed each day. I am very grateful to have met her and that she took such great care of our boy!

Helen helped us establish a night sleeping routine for our daughter over the course of a few weeks. She identified the key issue stopping our daughter from sleeping through the night and recommended some actions to remedy. Once we did, the nights improved greatly!!
Helen is very friendly, punctual and professional. She helpfully offered lots of tips and advice throughout and we would be keen to work with her again for babysitting.

Helen looked after our baby girl Adriana from 8-20 weeks old. She was very punctual, flexible with dates and timing and followed the approach and style we wanted to take. Helen genuinely cared about trying to get Adriana on a good sleep routine and always had tips to share. Helen is sweet and kind and provided the support I needed during the newborn stage 😊

Helen came to us when our daughter was 5 weeks old; initially just to do 3 nights a week to give us a little more sleep and ideally get our daughter into some good sleep habits. Almost 7 months later, Helen still does those 3 nights but also 3 days and additional babysitting when required. To say she has become a member of the family is an understatement! I jokingly tell her we co-parent my daughter but the truth is, we pretty much do. Helen has played an absolutely key role in establishing a wonderful day and night routine in which my daughter thrives - she now consistently sleeps 12 hours a night; sometimes more. She has held my hand and guided me every step of the way from the early months of breastfeeding, transitioning to formula and now onto weaning where she has hand cooked all my daughter's meals and filled the freezer for the days she is not with us. She kept us calm when my daughter had a bad reaction to her first vaccinations, nursed her through her first cold, expertly administered medication we needed to give for a particular condition and showed me the tricks to do so, and even packs everything my daughter needs when we go away. She is caring, loving and gentle with my daughter but mindful not to be overindulgent thereby ensuring my daughter is not clingy. She has boundless energy to engage and entertain her and can make a game or toy out of anything in the home! She is 100% supportive and positive and always ready with advice and guidance drawing on her vast experience as a mother and nanny over several years. She is totally reliable; never having missed a day or night in her time us and we have given her keys to our home without a second thought. We will be devastated to part company with her when we move overseas and could not recommend her highly enough to any other family who will unquestionably find her an asset to treasure.

I had terrible problems getting my daughter to stay sleeping in her cot so I started working with Helen. I was very concerned about some of the methods that were used and specifically did not want the "Cry it out" method. Helen was literally a magician. She had my daughter sleeping in a cot from Day 1 with no crying. There was the odd wimper, however Helen comforted her and she was back to sleep. Helen has worked for me on and off for 7 months and I have found her to warm, loving, honest and hard working. I would highly recommend her, particularly with young babies.
