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, where babies are left to cry alone for set periods. My approach is responsive and gentle. That doesn't mean your baby will never cry, but it does mean they're never left to cry without support, and any approach is always age-appropriate and matched to their 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.

  • If you need to reschedule, please contact me as soon as possible and I’ll do my best to accommodate. Cancellation terms depend on the type of booking (especially for reserved nights or live-in arrangements). Full details are provided at booking / in your confirmation.

  • Just message me on WhatsApp or by email and tell me about your situation and your needs. I'll get back to you with what I think could help, along with my availability, and we'll take it from there. You'll find my contact details on the Contact page.

  • Yes, overnight support is available up to 24 months. If you're looking to work on sleep specifically, I'd recommend starting with a consultation to put a plan together, followed by overnight support where I can help you put it into practice.
