Night Nanny

About Me

AN EXPERIENCED NEWBORN SPECIALIST BABY NIGHT NANNY, AVAILABLE FROM 20th JULY 2024 AS YOUR NIGHT NANNY, LIVE-IN MATERNITY NURSE OR BABY SLEEP TRAINER. I AM CURRENTLY BOOKED AS A NIGHT NANNY WITH A LOVELY FAMILY FOR 2 MONTHS AND AVAILABLE AGAIN FROM 20th JULY 2024.

My name is Rachel Albert (Nanny Rae) and I am a newborn baby specialist night nanny, baby sleep trainer, live-in maternity nurse available from 20th JULY 2024

I am a highly experienced night nanny and live-in maternity nurse. I specialise in twins and teach mum and dad how to feed and settle both babies together independently. I have also worked extensively with reflux and cow's milk protein allergy.

I have recently completed a six-week night nanny assignment with newborn twins and then went to work with a lovely family in south-west London for 13 weeks. I am currently with a very kind, gentle and loving family in east London.

I am now looking for another lovely family to work with from 20th July 2024

I have worked in the babyworld for many years and have a lot of experience and knowledge that I love to pass on. I am a mother of three children, all of whom have left home now, so am totally unencumbered!

I have many excellent references - all recent and contactable by phone and email. I am hard working, professional and totally devoted to my work - my many references will reflect this.

My five star Reviews are on this website and I have been awarded a Certificate of Excellence from the Childcare website. I have my First Aid Certificate for babies and toddlers and an Enhanced DSB check.
_____________________________________________
I am also an experienced baby sleep trainer. If your baby is unsettled, I may be able to help with the following.
***Baby starts crying as soon as you put him down
*** Baby not sleeping well in the day and/or night.
*** Sleeping with you in your bed all night.
*** Baby can only sleep if walked in the pram, carried in the sling, rocked in your arms, walked up and down at home...and wakes up crying as soon as you put him down.
***Refusing the bottle (this is increasingly difficult after three months but we can discuss it)
For mothers who are looking for a gentle and flexible routine, I teach this course on a one-to-one basis with you at home with your baby, feed by feed, over 24 hours and show you how to settle your baby. This is a course I have taught in workshops many times.
I have worked extensively with babies who have reflux or are allergic to the cow's milk protein and can advise you on that too.

My contact details are on my profile.
Please call for a (no obligation) chat or email me if that's easier.

With all good wishes
Nanny Rae x

REFERENCE FROM ONE OF MY PAST NIGHT NANNY JOBS ???

"Please find below a reference for Rachel Albert, who worked for me as a night nanny for 10 weeks.

Nanny Rae was a night nanny for 10 weeks for our baby girl, starting the day after she was born. She was reliable and diligent, and clearly cares deeply about doing her work to the highest standard. Nanny Rae was very good at settling Emilia, even though she suffers with reflux, and was very extremely loving and gentle with her.

I also appreciated her kindness towards me, particularly in those early days after the birth, as well as her generosity in helping me and my husband to have some time for ourselves.

Nanny Rae is devoted to her work, loves her job and has a lot of experience to pass on".

This reference is from my night nanny assignment from November 2023 to February 2024 ???

"Nanny Rae is in many ways like a real life Mary poppins. She has a surely unmatched amount of experience and is utterly devoted to the wellbeing of the babies she looks after and she has tried and tested methods to help babies to be settled and as healthy as possible. Nanny Rae is one in a million and has become part of the family since she joined us to help overnight with our newborn, going far beyond the night nanny role to provide support and guidance to us as parents to our other little ones. Everything nanny Rae does is done with her heart in the right place and she is an incredibly special person that we are very glad our baby (and we) have in our lives".

This reference is from the father of my last twins assignment in September/October 2023 ???

"Sometimes reviews can be very generic and unfortunately because of this trend, the words aren’t properly digested and so the feeling of the writer is lost and not fully understood. In the case of Nanny Rae, there is no collection of words than can truly capture how special she is to me and my family. My name is George Fox & I am the father of twin boys, named Elijah & Hendrix.

Call it synchronicity or something spiritually akin, Nanny Rae was made familiar to us by a very fortunate and random event, coming from Amy’s (My partner) auntie Ruth. A story Nanny Rae doesn’t know and will be finding out as she reads this, is I was initially completely opposed to having a night Nanny. To the point it caused a big argument between me and my partner (one of the many you have during newborn life, particularly with twins!)

I am a stubborn man, but I admit, I could not have been more wrong about this position. So where do I start? Before any of the education, structure or expertise, comes her special heart. I noticed very early on that we were dealing with a unique character, someone who I now call a ‘God send’. This was everything to me, as a prerequisite to laying any foundations with your children, you must feel someone’s heart and intentions. I pride myself on such intuition & feeling after meeting someone. Post this first meet, it became apparent that Nanny exceeded whatever I had hoped for.

I cannot begin to explain the demands of having twins. From worrying about eating patterns, to sleepless nights, to them disturbing one another, to the finer details of how to feed - the list goes on. I can wholeheartedly say that she has entered our lives and not only shared priceless advice but implemented sound structure, so that the twins development is ensured and also so that our lives have become significantly better than they ever would have been without her.

Her vast plethora of knowledge & experience on all things baby related is matched by her attention to detail and specificity. Not only has she advised on things to get within the home to make life easier, but she meticulously carries out her processes to make sure that no stone is left unturned.

Honestly, I could be here all day talking about each detail, to a point that almost matches her extensive note taking on all things related to your babies! Her doing this gives you such a clear picture and keeps you up to speed with where you are at with your little ones & what patterns or trends to look out for which may evoke certain responses.

All in all, working with Nanny Rae is the best decision we have made post birth. In fact it is a gift. Not only has she been our teacher & our Nanny, she has now become family. I say this because she will forevermore hold a place in my family’s heart & that is something we will never forget".
