Night nurses

Sleeping Babies maternity night nurses and night nannies will come from a varied background including nursing, midwifery and nannies, but will all have one thing in common, and that is extensive experience in the care of newborns. Many will hold childcare qualifications, but we take each night nurse on their own merit as we feel experience, communication and natural ability counts for so much

At Sleeping Babies if you need help in a hurry and live in London or the M25, we can usually have a night nanny or maternity night nurse with you the same evening as your initial phone call - We are here to help.

At Sleeping Babies we personally meet and interview each of our candidates, all references are carefully checked so we can feel confident in providing you with the best night nanny or maternity night nurse to suit your particular requirements. Only a small percentage of night nannies or maternity night nurses we interview meet our stringent criteria, and therefore only a handful of new candidates join our team each year. In this way we are able to have a close relationship and really know each night nanny or maternity night nurse in our team.

Sleeping Babies will have a friendly chat with you and take a really detailed brief. This way we can understand your needs and find you the right night nanny or maternity night nurse and personality to fit into your family.

Your night nanny or maternity night nurse will arrive between 9pm and 10pm and leave at 7am. These hours can be flexible if pre-arranged directly with the Sleeping Babies night nanny or maternity night nurse.

Sleeping Babies night nannies or maternity night nurses will come into your home and will take responsibility for your baby and help your baby to sleep through the night, whilst you enjoy a well deserved good night's sleep.
