We love Brenda!! Absolutely no nonsense but it worked and her daytime routine was absolutely game changer. I really feel now that level of structure in the day made our baby feel so safe - as she knew what was coming so felt secure in knowing each step through the day. I think that helped her to relax and trust - so she started easily sleeping through the night with ease almost right away. When we do our bedtime routine she gets excited as if she genuinely looks forward to it. We were recommended Brenda through a friend and thank god because before we were freestyling it and making it up as we were going along - and it was so exhausting. Brenda has been our North Star and guided us to better sleep and a happier family. Thank you Brenda!!

I learnt so much about being a parent and my own ability through the process of working with Brenda! My baby is now 3.5 months and sleeping 12 hrs a night 🤯

For me, this tooling choice was 100% worth it and I’ll do it again. It also made me understand my baby a lot more (& become closer to him)

Thank you Brenda, you are an absolute legend!

At 3 months old my son was very clingy, he needed to be rocked for 20 minutes, sometimes longer and would wake up the second we transferred him. He would cluster feed all day to the point where I permanently just had a bottle attached to one hand and him in the other. With Brenda, my son became an entirely different baby, she is very disciplined and I liked the strict schedule. It worked for us and our family is so much happier because of it, thank you so much Brenda!

The only mistake we made was not calling Brenda sooner. She had our son sleeping through the night after 2 days. It was incredible. She came up with a custom plan for Brodie (our son) and assessed our lifestyle to come up with a plan to get him sleeping through the night. It was tough, but so worth it. I feel like a new person.

Brenda helped us with sleep training with our 4.5 month old after the sleep regression affected him very badly and other softer approaches failed to work. She came to our home, provided us with a routine and helped with all elements of day and night sleep. Whilst the approach isn’t for everyone, the results speak for themselves and our son is much happier in a routine and sleeps well in the daytime naps and the night.
Brenda was responsive on WhatsApp and gave clear instructions, I would say that her tone however in voice notes could at times be overly judgmental and she put a lot of blame on me as a mother when in fact I followed her guidelines to the letter. The tone of one particular voice-note did upset me and I am not a sensitive or emotional character at all. I would also say that a one size fits all approach that is super rigid did seem a bit robotic and I do believe that whilst babies developmentally are the same, emotionally they do have their own characters and sometimes what works for one won’t necessarily work for another. I think that in visiting your home she does something extra compared to an online service which is good.
All being said, Brenda does what she says she’s going to do and she makes your baby sleep better but it’s a pretty rough road to get there. She’s perfect as a sleep trainer for families comfortable with tough love but we wouldn’t recommend her to those needing more support and flexibility.

Brenda helped us sleep train our 5.5 month old. She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything needed for sleep success, as well as helping to take a holistic view on weaning and behaviour which are all interconnected. She helped us achieve baby sleeping through the night for 12 straight hours consistently and it was a pleasure working with her throughout!

Brenda was fantastic. She gave us a few tips the head of us even meeting that was really transformed our babies naptime. We saw Brenda when our daughter was 10 weeks old and we were really struggling with a very fussy baby and being overly attentive with her in the day and this leading to disruption in sleep at night. Brenda immediately helps us take control of the situation and gave us the structure which we now follow religiously. This is given us a lot more control of our lives during the day and we’re already starting to see the impact at night with our baby now sleeping from 1130 through to 730 without waking up.

I would highly recommend Brenda to anyone. Her structure and guidance have saved us with our first child

I wouldn’t commend Brenda or her approach to babies sleep at all. I have massive regrets with adopting her harsh sleep protocol to my 5 month old baby and I’ll never be able to reverse that. She offered zero flexibility and her cold approach is neither kind, adaptive or useful. I did an online version that worked much better.

Brenda has really changed our lives. With a 3 year old and 8 month old twins, things were becoming unmanageable for me with the twins’ sleep. I was up 6-8 times a night with them, co-sleeping and nothing was working. I was severely sleep deprived and at rock bottom.

Brenda’s sleep training and new routine worked within just a couple of days. A month or so in, the twins are sleeping independently for 11-12 hours most nights. The regime was tough (especially for me) at first and Brenda takes a no nonsense approach, but we are all much happier people now that everyone (especially the twins) are getting a decent night’s sleep.

The other aspects to Brenda’s routine have also been really helpful. The focus on solids has really improved the twins’ appetite and one twin who was previously very fussy with her bottle now cries for more whenever she finishes one!

Overall, Brenda has helped everyone in the household become more independent and resilient, which is exactly what I needed with 3 under 3!

Thank you! Worth every single penny!

Brenda’s straightforward and tested approach worked a charm for our baby. We’re grateful for the structure it has brought to our lives and our happy baby boy. Her decades of experience shine through. Thank you, Brenda.

Amazing a difference a week can make! Thanks to Brenda’s advice our little girl is now sleeping through the night!

Brenda quite literally saved us. We were so tired and struggling with sleep and not knowing what to do and within the week our baby was sleeping through the night and sticking to her routines which have just been amazing. We are all so happy now running on the same rhythm and Brenda’s sensible approach and support (day or night!) was so helpful. I would (and do!) recommend her to everyone - Brenda’s advice is invaluable, sensible and importantly easy to follow.

Brenda came into my life at the perfect time. I felt pretty much at rock bottom after 15 months of cosleeping, breastfeeding to sleep and wakes every hour. We had all the sleep associations you could think of and I just thought my boy wasn’t a good sleeper.

Ive tried and failed with sleep training in the past so I was slightly hesitant at first, thinking I don’t want to spend a lot of money only to fail again given he was a toddler now and a pretty stubborn, strong-minded one at that.

But Brenda reassured me that her method will work if I just follow everything to a T and trust the process. So we went ahead and my life changed almost overnight. After 3 nights he was basically sleeping through 12 hours. Having Brenda on hand on WhatsApp to iron out any issues and just to get reassurance was so helpful. We stuck the course and now it’s been a couple of months and my life is completely changed. I not only have my evenings and sleep back but my mental health is so much better and I can be a better parent during the day with all my energy replenished for my lively and active boy.

Best money I’ve ever spent as a parent!

If you’re struggling with sleep and need someone to just tell you what to do without any frills then reach out to Brenda!

Thanks Brenda ❤️

We were recommended Brenda and she didn’t disappoint. We have a one year old
Daughter who took sometimes 2 hours to get down to sleep and was up every hour, then rising at 4/5am every day, this had been the case for a year and we
simply couldn’t go on like it.

Brenda came to our home on the Saturday and by Monday eve Tippy slept 12 hours.
We were given bespoke and clear instructions/guidance to suit Tippy and had 24-7 contact for any Qs along the way, of which she replied promptly.
A month has passed and she has continued to sleep 7-7. It’s completely changed our lives in multiple ways! All of us are so much happier and we feel like we have our life back as a family and as a couple. We are very grateful to have worked with her.

She is the real life Mary Poppins…we will use her again and again, when we have more children. My only regret is not finding her earlier!

I was co-sleeping for 5 months, desperate for change and for my son to sleep independently. He also had bad eczema which was keeping him restless and awake.

Brenda’s methodology and skill has lead to him sleeping in his own room, through the night, able to self soothe and much happier in himself and his skin has improved.

Brenda can cleverly understand the family dynamic and introduce ways of working which each child which suits them and the mother.

My life has changed and Brenda offered support and tough love which is what I needed for things to change.

Thank you Brenda !

Our 4.5-month-old had gone from waking just twice a night to waking every 1.5 hours, and there seemed to be no end in sight. Exhaustion doesn’t quite cover it — we felt completely lost. We thought we were “doing everything right,” yet every source of advice seemed to contradict the last, leaving us unsure what to change or where to begin.

Brenda came highly recommended by a friend who called her a true “sleep wizard.” By that point we were willing to try anything, even with a healthy dose of scepticism.

She spent one afternoon with us and our son, and incredibly, he has slept through the night from the very day we met her. We are genuinely shocked by the transformation and deeply grateful for her calm guidance, insight, and experience. Thanks to Brenda, we’ve regained our sanity and feel like the best, most present parents we can be again. We can’t recommend her highly enough.

We couldn’t be more grateful to Brenda for helping us getting our son to sleep trough the night. Theo now sleeps peacefully in his cot in his own room. We would 100% recommend her.

Brenda was a wonderful help with implementing a routine and sleep training our son. Before we started with Brenda our 6 month old “Velcro baby” was waking constantly through the night, co-sleeping, only able to sleep when breastfed to sleep and did not have a reliable nap schedule. After a week of Brenda’s routine our little boy slept through the night in his own cot! Brenda was extremely responsive and dealt with us completely remotely from South Africa. Brenda is firm but kind, she has so much experience and a natural instinct with babies, you have to be willing to stick to her approach and be consistent but the results will be well worth it! Thank you Brenda!

A lovely experience with Brenda! She assisted us in sleep training our 2 year old and 3 month old. We found her approach to be firm but absolutely effective and resulted in us now having two wonderfully sleep trained babies (and in turn… our full nights of sleep are back which we’re very grateful for!!) During the time she was with us- she was responsive, always on hand to help and we found that she often assisted us with issues outside of sleep training (such as digestion). I’d highly recommend Brenda to any new/existing parents who are struggling with lack of sleep and routine.

Hiring Nanny Brenda was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made as a single mum. From the very first visit, she calmly and confidently re-established structure and discipline in my home, addressing my 4-year-old’s challenging behavior in a way that was firm, kind, and incredibly effective. What felt overwhelming and out of control before quickly became manageable and clear.

Beyond behavior, she also achieved something I have been struggling with for a long time: she trained my child to sleep independently. The impact of this alone was life-changing. Over the three weeks that followed, her ongoing phone support was invaluable, she guided me through real-life situations, reinforced consistency, and gave me the confidence to hold boundaries without guilt or stress.

Today my child clearly understands expectations and limits, feels more secure because of them, and is happier overall. As a parent, I'm calmer, more confident, and genuinely enjoying time with my child again. My home feels peaceful instead of chaotic. The change in such a short time was drastic, lasting, and deeply positive. I'm incredibly grateful for her expertise and support and would recommend her without hesitation to any family struggling with behavior or routines.
