My story

 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, i did three years at college becoming a professional nanny. 

I live in Berkshire with my husband Ade, and two boys. We also have 3 Bengals and a Cavapoo. Through having our 2 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.

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 over 18 years working for various families caring for children from 0-13 years. 

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.
