Night nurses

Sleeping Babies night nurses and 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 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 nurse to suit your particular requirements. Only a small percentage of 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 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 nurse and personality to fit into your family.

Your Night Nanny will arrive at 8pm/9pm and leave at 7am/8am. These hours can be flexible if pre-arranged directly with the Sleeping Babies night nurse.

All our team has a fully up to date CRB check and have a pediatric first aid certificate.

Sleeping Babies 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.

In short we will not place a night nurse with you that we would not feel comfortable leaving with our own children.
