Night Nannies -"The unique overnight maternity service“- was set up by Anastasia Baker upon discovering a gap in the market after the birth of her second baby. At the time, she wanted to find an experienced nanny who could come in two or three nights a week, but found this service unavailable. Having a newborn baby or children that do not sleep does not have to be as exhausting anymore. With the help of Night Nannies, parents can enjoy a full night’s sleep without the worry of getting up to feed a baby or settle a child. Or parents can simply have a night out, without having to rush back for a babysitter, and enjoy the luxury of a long lie the next morning. Night Nannies also offer advice in guiding children to sleep through the night. Night Nannies are available in London and in other areas of the UK.
