Helena was our night nanny for 3 months immediately following the birth of our first child and she was brilliant. It was obvious from the start that Helena was highly experienced and competent so we could get some proper rest confident that our daughter was in safe hands. Likewise, as novice parents it was great having Helena to answer our (numerous) questions and give advice. We were particularly keen to establish a routine early on and to encourage the baby to sleep through the night as soon as possible since I was returning to work after 3.5 months. Helena provided great support with this including tips about how to structure activities and naps during the day so the baby would be tired at night, and gently stretching out the time between feeds. Much to our delight, by the time Helena left our baby was sleeping 11.30pm to 6am. Perhaps most importantly of all, it was a pleasure having Helena in our house - she somehow manages to be kind and good fun but also discreet and respectful of your privacy. We cannot recommend Helena highly enough.
