NORLAND NANNY & INFANT SLEEP SPECIALIST
You shouldn't have
to be this tired.
I'm Melanie, a Norland Nanny with 18 years' experience, an Infant Sleep Specialist, and a mum myself. I help exhausted families get their nights back, gently, without ever leaving your little one to cry it out. From newborn to four years old, in your home or wherever you are in the world.
NORLAND NANNY
18 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
FAMILIES SUPPORTED WORLDWIDE
NO CRY IT OUT
How old is your little one?
Whatever stage you're at, there's support built for exactly where your child is right now.
Newborn · 0–3 Months
Baby · 4–12 Months
Toddler · 12–24 Months
Preschool · 2–4 Years
Gentle foundations from day one.
Naps, regressions and learning to sleep independently.
Confidence through the toddler transitions.
A bedtime they actually look forward to.
Days and nights mixed up? Naps only on your chest? Drowning in conflicting advice? Calm, evidence-based guidance for the fourth trimester — no sleep training, ever.
A regression at 4, 6, 8 or 12 months undone your routine? Still rocking or feeding to sleep every time? Gentle, responsive sleep support — you're always there to comfort your baby.
The move to one nap thrown everything off? Standing in the cot instead of settling? Support through the stage where naps, moods and milestones all shift at once.
Hour-long bedtimes? A little visitor in your bed at 2am? Won't stay in the big-kid bed? Clear, loving boundaries that end the battles — with warmth, not conflict.
Not sure where you fit or expecting? Book a free call and we'll work it out together.
ABOUT MELANIE
I know what this feels like.
When my daughter 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 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.

Why families choose me
There are a lot of sleep
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.

NORLAND NANNY
The gold standard in childcare. That level of knowledge and professionalism is what you get when you work with me.

A MUM MYSELF
I've sat in your kitchen at midnight. I know the fog, I know the doubt. It matters that the person supporting you has actually lived it.

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