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 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.
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.
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.
