Testimonials

Mr C Wise, February 2025

We met Charlie two months before our triplets were born at the end of 2023, and then Charlie joined us in early January 2024 once the children had come home from hospital.

We weren’t really sure what to expect from having a night nanny, but Charlie was such a huge help to us in many ways in those early months when you’re trying to find your feet as parents.

She was with us for roughly two nights a week for almost a year, and I’m not really sure where we’d have been without her! Aside from being patient and caring with the babies, she was always willing to offer tips and advice on ways to help them with their sleeping (and many other things!), and what we needed to be thinking about next. Charlie has a wealth of knowledge, is extremely professional, and was always willing to help in whatever way we needed her to.

We are both very grateful to Charlie for everything she did and would highly recommend her to any family that might be in need of a night nanny. We’d have no hesitation in using her again if we needed too!

Ms K Bregazzi, January 2025

Charlie has been an incredible support to our family, not only did she provide a detailed tailored plan specific to our individual needs as a family, reviewing and assessing our own situation which involved a difficult relationship between feeds/sleeping, she also talked and guided us through every step of the journey to improve our son’s sleep.

She took on board our personal preferences around things like contact naps, breast/bottle feeding and allowed us to go at a pace that suited our own needs which made the mammoth task of addressing our sons sleep feel like something we could achieve without it feeling overwhelming or daunting.

Charlie has been absolutely invaluable to our family and I could not recommend her enough, even post initial sleep training she has provided so much continued guidance to help us navigate dropping naps, introducing cot naps and even just moral support on difficult days!

Mr & Mrs Coppin-Score, July 2024

Charlie was an absolute life saver for our family. She helped look after our twins overnight from 3 – 8 months old and we don’t know how we would have done it without her.

She helped us settle the girls into a great routine, both in the daytime and overnight.

She was always such a calm, gentle and reassuring presence, and we felt comfortable with her looking after the girls.

Although obviously we were happy when we didn’t need her support anymore, as the girls were sleeping so well, we were sad to see her go!

We couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Mr & Mrs W Brock, December 2023

Charlie has been an amazing Night Nanny to our twin girls from around 6 weeks to 6 months old. She has been a great support and a fountain of knowledge for how to care for our twins and sharing her previous experiences whenever we have had questions or problems we were not sure how to resolve.

Charlie made us feel completely at ease and able to leave our twins with her knowing they would be in the safest hands which enabled my husband and I to get some much-needed sleep!

Were so grateful for Charlie’s help and advice. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

Mrs A Carse, October 2023

Charlotte came to us on the first night we brought our son home from the hospital. She will be leaving us now that he is around 9 months old.

It has been wonderful to have her with us. Charlotte is brilliant with the baby. She has a gentle, kind and capable manner which is very reassuring. Our little boy has been very happy with her.

She had him sleeping through the night at an early stage and he is able to settle himself.

Charlotte also gave us so much advise; her knowledge of babies is a goldmine and she is always ready to share her experience.

We are so grateful to have been so fortunate to have had her with us, we cannot imagine anyone better. We will miss her so much.

Mrs C Putman, April 2023

Charlie came to help us with our two-year-old who had never slept in his own bed, and was still breastfeeding throughout the night. We had numerous conversations on the phone and Charlie came to our house to meet our son before hand. We instantly felt like we could trust her, so kind and nurturing. We had total confidence in her.

Charlie stayed with us for five days in total, talking us through every moment and keeping a detailed journal. There were huge improvements even on the first night and by night 3 he was sleeping through! Even once Charlie had finished and gone home, she was still so supportive and helpful as we all got used to our new routine.

I would 100% say that she has changed our lives as a family! I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Mrs K Matchham, February 2023

I can’t recommend Charlie highly enough. Charlie was brilliant from the moment I first touched base with her before our baby was born. She came back quickly with dates and this really helped us plan.

After our baby arrived Charlie was fantastic. She slotted into the routine of our family and helped look after our baby with happiness and care for baby and mum.

We loved having Charlie help us with our transition from a family of 4 to 5.

Thankyou Charlie!

Mrs S Hepburn, January 2023

Charlie was with us from June 2021 until December 2022 helping us get our baby boy into a good sleep routine, and then overnight childcare when needed.

We found Charlie to be very caring, attentive and knowledgeable and wouldn’t hesitate recommending her to others or using her again.

She was fantastic the entire time and we were extremely sad when we no longer needed her.

We still keep in touch now and she is on our ‘go to’ list should we need any night-time childcare cover! She is fantastic!

Mrs F Crowley, October 2022

Charlotte was a real asset to us and our family in the early days after our twin girls were born. She was reliable, always timely and very personable. She not only helped to give us a much needed break but she really helped us to get into a routine where the twins were sleeping through the night within a matter of a couple of months with her excellent advice and structured approach.

Ms A Gardner, June 2022

Charlie has been an invaluable support to me for the first 3 months of my little ones life. Not only is Charlie amazing with Jasper, but she has provided emotional support and sanity with advice and guidance when asked. I trust Charlie implicitly and would recommend her without a doubt!

Mrs J Belton, March 2022

I was waking every 1.5h with my 7/8month old son Jack to feed him – completely unsustainable and I was at my wit’s end. 

Charlotte gave me a consultation, where we walked through everything; naps, weaning, mood, teething, going back to work and Jack going to childminders, and we worked out a holistic plan together, tailored for us. 

After just two days of following the plan, Jack was almost sleeping through the night – I couldn’t believe it! I had some other goals (moving onto bottle feeding, ditching his dummy) which we were able to achieve alongside getting him to sleep through the night. 

Not only has it changed my life but also my relationship with Jack, I’m no longer scared of night times and I’m getting my identity back now I’m working again. Charlotte was there whenever I needed her and just so easy to work with. As a new mum it means so much to feel listened to and to shape the plan together so it works for you – it makes you feel confident. I cannot recommend Charlotte enough. 

On a side note, getting support for sleep is an expensive outlay. However, Charlotte’s prices are far more reasonable than most, and having spoken to other people, the service and support we received was more holistic than those that are more expensive. It is also an investment – this has given me back my life, my health and my confidence and now I just wish I’d done it sooner. It is worth it!

Mrs A Wardley, February 2022

I am having a bath, on my own, and it’s not even half past seven. This is nothing short of a miracle. Hallelujah for sleep training! You are a miracle worker.

Mrs E Tyrwhitt-Drake, January 2022

Upon meeting Charlie, we immediately felt that we could trust her with our little girl, and any difficult situations that might arise. She has a very can do attitude and came up with some helpful suggestions to improve our little one’s sleep. We are very grateful to Charlie for her support, and can highly recommend her.

Mrs L Hook, September 2021

Charlie worked with us for a number of months with our 3rd baby. She was absolutely wonderful. She’s friendly and helpful and very professional. Our son was very fond of her and our older 2 also liked her very much (she even helped settle them at night if needed). I would highly recommend her.

Mrs H Brooks, June 2021

Charlie helped me from when my youngest was a couple of months old. Suffering from reflux, his sleep was awful and Charlie both gently improved his sleep routine and allowed me to catch up on some much needed sleep! I would recommend her to anyone!

Mrs C Urraca, May 2021

After 2 C-sections and tongue-tied babies I was determined to make my 3rd baby a more pleasant experience, and contacted Charlie. She came very highly recommended, and no surprise there.

We first had a very long chat about my previous babies, my current situation and expectations. I loved her straight away. She is friendly, approachable, knowledgeable and warm. I felt understood and loved.

So we agreed 10 nights over a few weeks starting from the 2 weeks post-birth once my husband PL ended.

D-Day arrived. I was quite apprehensive of leaving my new born baby in a different room with someone else, but wasn’t I wrong! That night I had the best sleep since the birth. Charlie settled him, and put him down. And when he needed feeding, she brought him to me. She would leave us until the feed was finished and then take him away to change his nappy and settle him.

She checked how we fed, helped us with the latch and re-assured me about colic/reflux. It was invaluable to have that expertise and care during the night. She would leave early in the morning, leaving my baby changed and asleep. Room tidy, and a notebook with every detail of the night. She was absolutely no trouble. Even brought her own drink!

Those “Charlie Nights” became the best, easier nights. We both (baby and me) rested and cuddled. And I was a much better mum there after.

I cannot recommend her enough.

Mrs C Milner-Smith, January 2021

Charlie helped us enormously to get our little boy into a good sleep pattern and didn’t just focus on the sleep but the whole day and has given us on going invaluable support and advice with regards sleep, routine and weaning.

Our little boy was also premature and has a cows milk allergy. Charlie was not in the slightest bit phased by this and helped us with this regard and helped to reassure us as well.

Our little boy is now a really good sleeper, not yet sleeping through due to age limitations but he is not far off and he has given us about 7 clear nights and that is all thanks to Charlie.

I would highly recommend her and we are very likely to be using Charlie again once our little boy is fully weaned, to help us loose the dummy and to finish the sleep training we started

Mrs L Pears, December 2020

Charlie was brilliant, knowledgeable and gave advice when needed. Our daughter was always very settled in her company so I felt comfortable leaving Charlie in charge overnight.

We highly recommend her services. Third time round having some sleep at night makes the days so much easier when you have three under 4 year olds!

Mrs E Bingham, September 2020

Charlie has been fantastic; a lifesaver for two working parents coping with an 8 month old who did not want to sleep! We are not first time parents (our first is 4 years old) but, as Jennie and Charlie pointed out regularly, no two children are the same so what worked for No 1 was not working for No 2.

In that vein, Charlie provided great support in trying to work out why our 8 month old was waking so much in the night and also in trying to “break the cycle” that she/we had got into, which had affected weaning etc. Sometimes, just having a fresh pair of eyes is what you need but Charlie went the extra mile in providing overnight support, then remote support, in getting us to a position where we could all function again and we got weaning sorted out as well.

Patient, professional, and thoroughly trustworthy, Charlie engaged well with all of us in the household and put everyone instantly at ease. We would recommend her support to anyone for whatever varying childcare needs they may have.

Mrs V Chapman, September 2020

Charlie came to us when our son George was almost 12 weeks old. He was a reflux baby who refused to sleep anywhere other than the sling!

She helped us get him into a gentle routine which straight away had a positive impact in terms of him feeding better and not getting so overtired. She then came to stay with us for five nights to help get him into a proper bedtime routine and to help him learn to self settle. It was amazing! Within a few nights he was sleeping in his own cot (in our room) from about 7:30ish onwards and waking once (if that) for a feed overnight.

Charlie was kind and gentle towards both us and George. We had no worries about leaving George in her care. We have been able to carry on the good work she started – I am writing while watching George self settle to sleep on his own for his morning nap! I never thought we would be in this position a few weeks ago.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her (in fact I’ve been raving about her to everyone I know already!). If we ever have any sleep bumps in the future I would definitely get her back in to help us. Thanks Charlie!
