Qualified Sleep Consultant, night nanny, 24hr live in baby nanny (Maternity Nurse/Practitioner) and career nanny.

Hi families, I’m Jennifer.
I’ve been working with babies, children, and their families for over 25 years, and I still feel just as passionate about it today as I did when I started. Early in my career, I worked as a full time nanny across multiple families - sometimes caring for up to five children in one household, from newborns through to teenagers (managing the whole household + all of the children's activities and needs). It was during this time that I discovered my love for working with newborns, then went on to study more about newborn care and sleep consulting.

In 2006, I became a fully accredited Maternity Practitioner through the Maternity Nurse Training College at Reading University in the UK. I'm also a qualified Sleep Consultant and Doula. For more than two decades, I have specialised in postnatal care, night nannying, rota work, proxi parenting, constant travelling and sleep training for children aged 0 - 10 years.

I have had the privilege of living and working closely with families from diverse religions, cultures, traditions, and parenting styles across more than 60 countries, often providing continuous 24/7 support.

I’ve guided parents through everything from feeding, weaning and settling in to establishing a healthy routines - and in the process, I’ve developed a unique/gentle, hands-on approach that helps even very young babies learn to sleep soundly (often up to 10 hours a night with feeds).

My methods are baby-led and flexible - I don’t follow rigid wake windows or strict routines. Instead, I work closely with each family to create a plan that suits their baby’s needs and their parenting style. My programs have supported thousands of families both online and in person, and I currently consult with up to 10 families per week while also continuing to work as a nanny and in-home sleep consultant.

Throughout my career, I’ve cared for hundreds of single babies, more than 50 sets of twins, and two sets of triplets. I’ve clocked well over 70,000 hours living in with families, and every experience has taught me something new.

Outside of work, I enjoy living a healthy, balanced lifestyle - I love travelling, staying active at the gym, and cooking everything from scratch. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found a meaningful career that allows me to support families during what can often be a stressful time - and help make life feel a little easier.
