My story

Thank you for visiting my website, I'm Anne and I'm known as The Gentle Nanny, parent coach. When I was little, I loved playing with my dolls, then looking after other peoples children as soon as I was old enough to babysit. Babysitting then led to my school placement in a Montessori nursery, before spending three years at college becoming a professional nanny.

Me and my family.

I live in Berkshire with my husband Ade, and two boys. We also have two Bengals and a Cavapoo. Through having our two boys we were faced with numerous issues affecting their sleep. Using my experience as a professional nanny which led to me becoming a parent coach offering a holistic approach to sleep as sleep is about more than just sleep.

My experience in childcare.

Since becoming a qualified Nursery Nurse, I spent 9 years working in day nurseries looking after the under threes as a room senior. I then became a private professional nanny for 18 years working for various families caring for children from 0-13 years.

Qualifications and certificates.

I spent three years at college gaining my NNEB certificate and Diploma which I have used as a professional nanny.

I have an OCN in Gentle Sleep coaching certificate and an OCN Maternity nurse certificate. I'm also a breastfeeding supporter. Over the last few years I have completed courses in children's nutrition and allergies, illnesses and 12 hour paediatric first aid. 

Baby sleeping.

sleep deprivation.

Nothing can prepare you for the sleepless nights you might face as a parent. I have two boys of my own so I have experienced the sleep deprivation firsthand. My eldest son had colic and silent reflux then my second didn't sleep through till he was 5 years old due to various health reasons. A lack of sleep is draining and sometimes we need some parenting support.
