Helping Hands

Chris & Vanessa the Night Nannies

We can also help you teach your older baby or child how to sleep through the night.

Helping Hands when you need them…

At night

We’re Chris and Vanessa and we help parents through the first few months of their baby’s lives, or help those whose older baby or children, are not sleeping through the night.

 

We will come to your home and care for your baby though the night. We can also recommend strategies for good day and night time routines and breast feeding advice.

 

We also specialise in twins and sleep training older babies and children who are waking through the night and, with new parents in mind, have recently introduced our “Welcome  Home” package.

Night Nanny

(from birth - 12 months) 

 

For parents who would like a good night’s sleep (or a much deserved night out), we will come to your home and care & feed your baby through the night. Breast feeding mothers can choose to express their milk or we will bring the baby to you. Parents who bottle feed can leave everything to us.

 

We are also very happy to advise on breast feeding, day and night routines and anything about your baby’s first months.

 

We can be booked from one to five times per week to suit your family’s needs or more occasionally if you just need a good night’s sleep. If booked on a regular weekly basis, we will quickly help you and your baby establish a good night-time routine.

Sleep Training 

(from 5 or 6 months)

 

Contrary to popular belief, sleeping through the night is a learned skill.  If by five or six months (or four or five years) your baby or child is not sleeping through the night we can help change this.

 

We use a variety of techniques and strategies to suit individual babies and families and most babies/children will sleep through the night after two to three nights of training.

 

Initially we will visit your home and observe your baby or child’s evening & bedtime routine. For the following 2 nights we assist parents to implement appropriate techniques which will encourage your baby or child to sleep through the night.

Cost:               £400 per 24 hours for one baby  

                        £450 per for twins

Welcome Home

(from birth) 

 

You’ve had the baby! Now what? Unfortunately babies are not born with an instruction manual… but we are here to help. Think of this as a crash course in all things baby, with an expert instructor by your side

 

Our Welcome home package has been specially designed for new parents. We will help you through the first 24 hours (or longer by arrangement), after the birth of your new baby (or babies).

 

With a wealth of experience we will help you with all aspects of your new baby’s care, guide you in the best techniques to help establish breast feeding and also give you the opportunity to get some sleep.

 

We can be booked from one to five blocks of 24 hours to suit your family’s needs, and give you the confidence to parent successfully, equiped with our hands on knowledge of many years experience.

Vanessa Crane 

 

I have spent the last eight years working as a night nanny. Caring for very new babies as soon as they come home from hospital is my passion. After the difficult birth of my eldest son and his subsequent reflux, I can really relate to parents exhaustion and anxiety in the early weeks and months of their babies lives.

 

I also love helping parents to teach their children how to fall asleep unaided AND stay asleep! Usually, after two or three nights of training.

 

In my old life, I was a professional cook and owned a speciality cheese shop. I still love to make wedding cakes (so if you know anyone who is getting married soon….). I’m happily married with two teenage sons.

Nanny Experience & Expertise 

I have had a wide variety of nannying experience, both as a full-time long term Nanny - from birth to five - and as a specialist Night/Maternity Nanny.  I also have many years experience of sleep training which I find very rewarding. Teaching parents how to get their babies/children to sleep through the night with a few nights of sleep training, feels almost like a miracle.
