Person & Virtually

Tailored Support from a
Norland Nanny, Wherever You Are

While you rest, I’ll personally care for your baby through the night, or guide you virtually, gently teaching them the skills for peaceful, independent sleep.

We truly can’t thank Melanie enough for her expertise, patience, and the genuine care she showed our family throughout this journey. She has given us all the gift of better sleep, and we’ll always be grateful for her support!

Expert sleep support when you need it most

Professional, gentle, and completely tailored to your family in person or virtual

If sleepless nights are taking their toll and you need expert, hands-on support you can trust completely, you’re in exactly the right place.

Whether I’m by your side in your home or supporting you virtually, I don’t just create sleep plans, I guide your family step by step with gentle, proven methods that work.

  • Gentle, evidence-based techniques

  • Tailored to your baby’s needs

  • Respecting your family’s values and rhythms

Because when it comes to your child’s sleep, nothing replaces the reassurance of having a Norland-trained professional personally supporting you, wherever you are in the world.

I have the greatest respect for Melanie. She guided us with such care and kindness, supporting our breastfeeding choices and keeping us calm through the hardest parts. Her dedication and professionalism are unmatched. I’ve learnt so much and feel a better mum because of her.

Why families choose me

Because when it comes to your child's sleep, expertise, discretion, and personal care make all the difference in person or virtual.

Hi, I’m Melanie, a Norland-trained Nanny and Certified Sleep Consultant with 18 years of experience supporting families worldwide.

I’m also a mum who understands that every family deserves peaceful nights and well-rested days.

Whether your first baby or your last, I’ve been supporting babies, toddlers, and children, both in person and virtually, with the same gentle, responsive approach that has made Norland Nannies the gold standard in childcare.

Now, I bring all that experience directly to your home nursery or through virtual consultations, providing expert, bespoke guidance that helps your child learn the skills for lifelong, healthy sleep.

Melanie was amazing in helping our five-month-old take longer naps and settle calmly at bedtime. She was quick to respond, supportive, and her advice was easy to follow. We highly recommend her!

Melanie was incredible! Our 7 month old had never slept through the night, and we were exhausted. With Melanie’s gentle guidance and reassurance, our little girl now settles herself and sleeps soundly. Her calm, supportive approach made all the difference we can’t thank her enough!

Melanie was a lifesaver! After a tough sleep regression, our toddler was waking up multiple times a night, and I was exhausted. Melanie created a personalised plan, and within days, our little one was sleeping through the night again. She was professional, kind, and always available to answer questions. Highly recommend her to any parent struggling with sleep issues!

Ready for Peaceful Nights?

Every family’s sleep journey is unique, which is why I begin with a private consultation to understand your needs and determine how I can best support you, in person or virtually.

During our confidential conversation, we’ll discuss your current challenges, your goals, and how my gentle, responsive approach can restore rest to your entire family.

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.
