Testimonials
Elizabeth started working for us as a Maternity Nurse after the birth of my third child. I had had a c-section and was struggling with recovery on very little sleep and very active twin 5 year olds. Elizabeth quickly helped to identify some latching issues and suggested we switch bottle brands, which helped hugely to relieve my babies wind and discomfort overnight. She was a huge help around the house, always doing things without needing to be asked. When baby was sleeping she would batch cook so that I had quick and easy meals for the twins after school. She was an absolute rock when my husband was deployed for work and kept me sane. I would recommend Elizabeth to anyone.
Elizabeth recently provided night nanny support to our 7 week year old daughter, Isabella, and was a total superstar! Under Elizabeth’s care on the first night, Isabella slept for the longest she has ever done so. Elizabeth is great at using her initiative and reading a baby’s body language to determine the best course of action. In doing so, she used a swaddle suit (which we hadn’t thought to use much previously) and it worked a treat – we have used one ever since! Elizabeth was also fantastic at getting wind out of Isabella which also helped her sleep far more soundly.
Elizabeth is very friendly and warm, and we felt fully comfortable leaving our baby with her from the get-go. She is clearly very well qualified with a wealth of experience and knowledge, and we really appreciated her baby-led approach which is very in line with our parenting style. Elizabeth was also very helpful in helping impart some of her wisdom onto us (e.g. showed us how to wind Isabella, use the sling etc.).
We would highly recommend Elizabeth for anyone considering her for a role. We will certainly be asking for her help again in the future, either as a night nanny, maternity nurse or full time nanny.
This amazing lady has saved me! My son woke 11-2 every night or woke every hour at 11months old. He had never slept more than 3 hours at a time. I returned to work full
time and surviving on 4 hours sleep a night I was really struggling. I cried every night and suffered with anxiety every night. I’d lay there staring at the monitor waiting for him to wake. I tried so many gentle sleep techniques and routines and I found one that was beginning to work. He just started to sleep most of the night but with me in the room. The fear set in, I need him
To sleep without me in the room but if I leave and he doesn’t sleep I just don’t think I can cope. So I contacted Liz. With one form and one phone call Liz gave me the guidance, reassurance and con dence I needed and within a week I was able to put Leo down, walk out, close the door and he will go to sleep 😱 an absolute miracle. Now he sleeps 7-6.30 every night! Liz was always a text/call away with any blips or questions and abit of reassurance. We did it!!!! And in a week!!! I can’t thank you eneough Liz you have given me my evenings with my hubby back which I will forever be grateful for. and we have a much happier, refreshed toddler 🙂 Xxx
We have had Elizabeth help us out with our 4 children for about 7 years now. She is the perfect nanny and is everything we could ask for. She always arrives promptly, gets stuck in and always goes above and beyond. Our children love seeing her and have formed a lovely bond. She’s been there during special moments such as when we brought home our youngest two children from the hospital and she was even at our wedding taking care of the children.
Everyone at the wedding commented on how lovely she was. She has also been a big support to me during multiple health issues. I would recommend her services to everyone. Words can’t describe how amazing she is and continues to be.
I reached out to Elizabeth after a failed attempt at sleep training with another local trainer. I was left feeling so depressed and stressed and felt as though I was going to have to leave my baby to cry to sleep like the other trainer suggested. Elizabeth immediately reassured me that we had lots of options available that didn’t involve crying and advised me to take a few days off from training to cuddle and love my son before starting anything else. I felt awful about causing damage to him by leaving him to cry. Elizabeth suggested we make some changes but did them very slowly. I do not think Sam realised we were even making changes at first. He now has better naps and can settle at night with not much fuss. I cannot thank you more for how much you have supported us.
I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for all your help over the last weeks with Jude.
Before you came to help us, I was struggling to get any work done and felt like I was constantly chasing my tail.
You came in and had an instant connection with my baby and I felt immediately comfortable with you looking after him. You took time to understand how I want to parent my child and time to bond with him. He now absolutely loves you.
As well as being extremely attentive to my son, you have also been helpful in other ways. Suggesting things to try when weaning my son, different things to try with his sleep and generally being a reassuring ear with any concerns. All without being pushing or matronly.
In addition, you always leave the house immaculate. Whether tidying the nursery or cleaning up after lunch, the house feels calmer and cleaner when you leave.
As you know, my husband afectionately refers to you as Mary Poppins!
I would be more than happy to recommend you to other parents looking for Nanny services. And I would be happy for you to show them this note or to speak to them directly if that would help.
From the moment Elizabeth joined our family, it was evident that she possessed a unique blend of professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for children. Her capabilities as a caregiver are exemplary. She consistently demonstrates patience, attentiveness, and a keen understanding of each child’s individual needs. Elizabeth and our children have great fun together, be it playing at home, arts and crafts, baking or going out on great adventures.Her approach to parenting is gentle yet firm, creating a nurturing environment where our children feel safe, respected, and loved. Elizabeth’s extensive experience with infants and babies is exemplary. She possesses a deep understanding of early childhood development and is adept at meeting the unique needs of infants with care and expertise. Her experience with sleep has been excellent to learn from and our early years with two small children would have been much harder without her. Above all, our children adore Elizabeth. They have formed a strong bond with her, built on trust, affection, and mutual respect. As far as I am concerned, she is their second Mum. In summary, I wholeheartedly recommend Elizabeth as a nanny without hesitation. She is not only exceptionally qualified and capable but also brings joy, love, and positivity into our home. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her as a caregiver.
Elizabeth, I wanted to say an enormous thank you for your help with the girls. I cannot express how wonderful it was to have you and your support means the world. You immediately made me feel at ease, you listened to my concerns, and ofered such fantastic support and advice, esp regarding tandem breastfeeding. The girls are thriving and are in such a fantastic routine. I learnt so much from you in such a short space of time. I have recommended you to all of my NCT class and will de nitely be in touch regarding sleep once the girls are older. Again, the biggest thank you!
Elizabeth offers something I cannot read about to watch a video on. She offers years of experience. Her support with our son has been invaluable.
Just wanted to send a huge thanks for all your help with Indigo. Even after two other children I’ve struggled with her nocturnal sleep patterns and have often sacrificed my own sleep so the rest of the house just isn’t affected!
But now she’s much more comfortable and sleeps better for longer. I am so grateful x
Love from a not-so-tired-and-grumpy-anymore-mummy and of course love from Indigo too ☺
When we contacted Elizabeth, we’d had 19 months of complete exhaustion. If there’s something beyond exhaustion, that was us.
We kept waiting for our toddler to grow out of it (like our 5 year old had). And, as we approached the two year milestone, it became apparent that was not going to happen.
My son’s sleep was sporadic, broken and followed no pattern. The week we contacted Elizabeth, he’d been awake in the night for 4 hours, followed by a 5 am wakeup and then hadn’t napped. Something had to give. The situation was not good for him or us as a family.
Elizabeth took time to talk to us about our parenting styles, and what we wanted to achieve and also to understand the underlying health issues. She promised to be as gentle in her approach – my biggest concern was that I wanted to be as gentle as possible. We all have to pick our own parenting paths, but leaving my child to “cry it out” is not my path.
Our lives are fairly chaotic and she was less rigid, less authoritarian and more flexible than other nannies I’d spoken with and so she seemed the right option for us.
If I was to pinpoint one thing that Elizabeth did for us, it was to give us confidence as parents. Ultimately, I wasn’t sure we could fix the situation and she gave us the support and confidence to believe we could.
And, guess what? We did do it. And our son now sleeps through most nights. HE SLEEPS!! I can’t even put into words the difference it has made to our lives. We don’t go to bed filled with dread and wondering whether it’s even worth trying to sleep before his first wakeup. We go to work feeling refreshed and have more energy to do things as a family. Our toddler is like a new child and his relationship with us and other family members has hugely improved.
The service is worth every, single penny and I can’t recommend Elizabeth enough. Thank you, Elizabeth, for everything you have done for our family!
Elizabeth came into our lives when our twins were 5 weeks. And I am so thankful she did.
Elizabeth has provided regular night nannying for us throughout the twins’ early months. I couldn’t recommend her more highly. She is so loving towards the babies, understands the routine/sleep habits we want to encourage and supports these and just generally leaves our hime happier than she found it.
Don’t think twice about brining Elizabeth into your family in those challenging early months. For us it will mean one of the hardest times in our lives will also have some of the happiest memories.
Before working with Elizabeth, Harry would only sleep on me and would immediately cry when placed down on his back. I didn’t want to use any sleeping techniques that involved crying so reached out to Elizabeth for help. She was able to quickly identify an issue with Re ux (which I feel awful for not spotting earlier) and has given us so much support and guidance. We are now able to put Harry down in his own cot, it’s a miracle! He’s like a new baby. She also made sure I was OK and offered me support with my own sleep. I didn’t realise what bad habits i’d gotten myself into.
