Restful Nights, Happy Days

Clare has an amazing gift to work with babies and came to us when we were needing help with our third baby. She has a very natural ability to calm them down and make them feel at ease with her right from the beginning. She herself is very calm, confident and warm. Clare helped me immensely with her advice, her knowledge of babies with reflux, which we battled with, and also just being a listening ear when I needed it. I can’t recommend her highly enough

Clare looked after our third child during the night twice a week from 2-6 weeks and was a huge support to our family during those early weeks. Clare was calm, caring and collaborative in her approach to looking after our newborn and we felt very quickly at ease with her. Clare was punctual and professional providing thorough notes on feeds, nappies and settling times / methods. We would happily recommend Clare to another family

Clare came highly recommended by both my NCT teacher and yoga teacher. Clare is very experienced and knowledgeable but it’s her wonderful nature that I would give as the number 1 reason for recommending her. She is very caring and has a calming effect on both of us and our twin boys. I wish I could have Clare to help me 24 hours a day

Clare is so knowledgeable, reliable and supportive. I hugely valued and trusted her guidance on routines, breastfeeding, pumping, sleep, swaddling etc and I am sure her advice made our lives as easy as they could be with a newborn. Clare identified dairy intolerance with Edward. We also really enjoyed Clare’s presence in our house and lives, she calmed and soothed us!

Clare is truly wonderful at her job and very passionate about helping parents and babies. She helped us with both our children’s sleep (now 5 months and 3 years) and is always a calming, rational, knowledgeable voice to guide you through the sleep deprived uncertainty. She has great knowledge about reflux too and has plenty of tips and tricks. She is very understanding and will always follow up on text messages sent with questions late at night! Our babies responded so well to her caring for and settling them. If we have another baby I would book Clare in straight away for day/night nannying!

Clare worked with us from October to January, helping to care for our newborn son 2 nights a week. No matter how difficult a day/week I'd had, I always felt a huge sense of relief to know that Clare would be visiting. We very much looked forward to her visits, not only for the opportunity of a good nights sleep but more importantly, for everything she taught us. There were many days when I felt at a loss during the day, not knowing why my son was/wasn't eating or sleeping. Some days I would get myself in a muddle but as soon as Clare walked through the door, she had a calming effect our household. In the early weeks, those were the only nights my husband and I could breathe a sense of relief. Clare was invaluable at helping us to pick apart the day and decifer what had happened. Without this knowledge and regular analysis, I don't believe we would have been successful in establishing a routine like we did. She helped us create a routine to better plan my day, and by trial and error we learned how to best meet our sons needs. Even on the days she wasn't working with us, she was on hand to message if I needed help. Early on I needed breast feeding help and on a particularly stressful day, she came over on her lunch break to help me establish a good latch. We were not expecting that level of supoort but that's the kind of person she is..always on hand, wanting the best for my family and I. She was a godsend and made our first journey into parenthood a thoroughly enjoyable one. As soon as I fall pregnant again, I will book Clare without hesitation. I would highly recommend her services, you will be in very good hands. We miss her already!

We contacted Clare after months of sleepless nights. Our 10 month old was waking 6 plus times a night and only breastfeeding would comfort her back to sleep. This was not sustainable and we reached out to Clare for support. I didn’t want an aggressive form of sleep training where our baby would be left to cry and Clare really supported us with that goal and gave us various techniques to use which did not include leaving our baby to cry for any period of time. Within a week our baby was sleeping through from 7pm to 5am and learned to settle away from breastfeeding - all achieved with no tears! This was life changing and I cannot thank Clare enough. She is extremely knowledgable and tailors her approach to each individual family and baby. She’s very kind, listens patiently and is non-judgmental. She made me feel at ease from the moment she walked through the door and I only wish I had known about her when our oldest daughter was born. An amazing lady with fantastic experience and guidance!

Clare came and spent almost a week with us when Rory was 12 weeks old. Having had a difficult three months coping with severe colic we wanted some help trying to establish a gentle routine and better sleeping and feeding habits. Clare’s warm and personable nature immediately put us at ease and within two days of her staying with us we could see big steps forward for Rory. She provided us with a perfect balance of guiding us through new techniques as well as offering some much needed respite. At the end of her stay with us, Rory was able to sleep for longer periods and had started to self settle at bedtime. We are eternally grateful for her time spent with us- so much so that we have asked her to come back! I would highly recommend Clare to anyone looking for some additional support looking after a new baby; whether it be to simply offer advice, compile routines or offer some rest for new exhausted parents! It’s the best thing we did!
