NORLAND NANNY & INFANT SLEEP SPECIALIST
You shouldn't have
to be this tired.
I'm Melanie, a Norland nanny with 18 years of experience and a mum myself. I help exhausted families get their nights back, gently, without leaving your baby to cry it out.

NO CRY IT OUT
ABOUT MELANIE
I know what
this feels like.
When Poppy was small, I understood in a whole new way what it means to be desperate for sleep. You're not failing. You're not doing it wrong. You're just exhausted, and you need someone who actually knows what they're doing to come alongside you.
Most sleep consultants will send you a plan and leave you to figure it out. That's never been how I work. I stay in it with you, whether that's me in your home through the night, or messaging you at 11pm on WhatsApp because your baby just threw a curveball.
That's what 18 years of Norland training and real family experience looks like in practice.

consultants. Here's what's different.
Norland College is widely regarded as the gold standard in childcare training. Combined with 18 years of real family experience and my own experience as Poppy's mum, this is what I bring to every family I work with.

Melanie guided us with such care and kindness, supporting our breastfeeding choices and keeping us calm through the hardest parts. I feel a better mum because of her.

Our 7-month-old had never slept through the night and we were exhausted. With Melanie's gentle guidance, our little girl now settles herself and sleeps soundly.

Emily has been a real life saver.
Emily has been a real life saver. My twin boys’ sleep had got really bad, they were waking up to 11 times a night each and not at the same time. By the end of our two weeks working together they were waking 1-2 times and often at the same time. We are now out of survival mode and life is so different, so much nicer!

Emily has equipped us with the tools to adapt Olivia’s sleep plan as she gets older.
Emily was fantastic from the start, it was very much a two way conversation and personalised to our family. Over the course of the two weeks, Olivia’s sleep progressively improved and she is now consistently sleeping through the night. Emily has equipped us with the tools to adapt Olivia’s sleep plan as she gets older.

I cannot thank Emily enough.
I cannot thank Emily enough. I would recommend her services to anyone with babies/children with sleep problems. You don’t have to be in that situation.
