Frequently Asked Questions

Honest answers to common questions — so you can feel confident and cared for from the start.

  • I support families with babies and toddlers aged 0–24 months (from pregnancy planning and the newborn period through to toddler sleep and routine transitions).

    • Online consultations: worldwide (EN/FR)

    • In-home support: London (daytime and overnight)

    • Premium live-in support: UK & Europe (EN/FR), by arrangement

  • 50 minutes

  • Availability varies week to week. If you’re expecting a baby, it’s best to enquire in advance so I can pencil in potential dates. For sleep support with older babies/toddlers, some families book 1–2 weeks ahead, but last-minute availability does sometimes come up — so it’s always worth checking.

  • Yes — NCFE Level 3 Early Years Practitioner, OCN Level 5 Maternity Nurse, and OCN Level 6 Sleep Practitioner — with extensive hands-on work with families. I work attachment-informed and evidence-aware.

  • No — I don’t replace your health visitor, GP, midwife, or paediatric team. I offer practical care, education, and holistic guidance. If I ever feel something is outside my scope, I’ll encourage you to seek medical advice.

  • No. I don’t use cry-it-out or timed-interval methods. My approach is responsive and gentle, supporting sleep in a way that protects attachment, feeding, and your baby’s temperament and developmental stage.

  • Absolutely. Shared understanding makes change easier. Partners and caregivers are welcome in consultations and during live-in work.

  • Yes — rest is a key part of live-in support. The exact structure (day/night balance, handovers, and how we protect rest) is agreed in advance based on your baby’s age, feeding, and what feels realistic for your household.

  • I don’t bring large equipment as standard. I can recommend practical, minimal items if needed — always with your space, budget, and preferences in mind. I’m also happy to work with what you already have and help you set it up well.
