Because everyone
deserves a good
night's sleep.

"We were completely desperate when we called Arlene (at the recommendation of another friend in the music industry) and she completely saved us at such a difficult time. She was just such a warm presence and so easy to have around. I liked her instantly and it was obvious I could trust her completely with our little one. We used her as a maternity nurse a few times when Luna was a newborn so I could get some rest in between shows, then we did the 3-day sleep training with her when Luna was old enough and it was really successful. Now we’re finally getting some sleep, hoorah!"

"This is an unsponsored community announcement for anyone in Melbourne with babies who don’t sleep through the night. With my partner traveling interstate, I was facing iso as a solo parent with a child waking 5-10 times a night for months on end. I was so tired, I couldn’t see straight. A fellow mum friend (Missy Higgins), suggested I contact the kind and wonderful Arlene, who came and stayed with us for three nights, teaching Teddy to sleep by popping him on a brilliant nap schedule - including daytime, which we were not so excellent at either! Within three nights, and now for 2 months and counting, Teddy puts himself to sleep, for both daytime naps and and bedtime in the evening. The phase of exhaustion and tiredness now feels like a distant memory. I highly recommend investing in your sanity by giving Arlene a call. Thank you Arlene!"

"Arlene in three short nights completely changed my experience as a mother. Lily was still waking 3 times in the night to feed/hangout and I felt and looked like the walking dead. Arlene was able to connect Lily's sleep cycles and now she sleeps from 730pm to 5am! I put her to bed and she doesn't move! Lily is the happiest baby in the morning and because I'm no longer sleep deprived I am a better, more attentive mother and partner. Highly recommend."

"Arlene is the nanny sent from heaven to our family. We had 4 nannies prior to Arlene starting who just didn't understand our family situation and were not able to settle our twins. Our twins were 7 weeks premature and one had a very serious medical condition which affected her sleeping. I also had a two year old to look after which made for a very daunting situation. Arlene came in and provided exactly the support we needed. She had the skill set and experience to deal with twins that didn’t have a sleep routine, not to mention a mother (me) who was sleep deprived and at times, not making sense! Arlene brought calmness and routine to our household, and the twins were in far better routine within a couple of weeks, which made such a difference to our family. I highly recommend her services."

"Arlene possess all the qualities of an outstanding carer. She is always on time, very reliable, trustworthy, polite, highly professional and caring in her approach. Arlene has a vast wealth of knowledge relating to all aspects of babies and children which has been invaluable to our family. She has met all of our requirements and has been flexible with additional care for our son. We are very fortunate and grateful to have Arlene care for our son and commend her most highly."

"When we welcomed Arlene into our home, it was like inviting in an old friend. Her warmth and kindness shines through immediately and reassures you that you've made the right decision asking her to help you with your sleep related conundrum. As is common, our fear was that our daughter could not be helped or that there was something wrong with her. Arlene was so reassuring in her assessment of Ciara’s requirements. Arlene’s wealth of experience and knowledge is endless, which is very helpful when it comes to the odd hiccup along the way, particularly when a baby is going through a developmental leap, growth spirt or illness. Even after we enlisted her assistance, she made herself available for questions and ongoing support via phone which I found invaluable. I would highly recommend Arlene to anyone who needs assistance solving their little one's sleeping issues."

"By the time I found Arlene, I was a wreck. I was sleep deprived and I had run out of ideas to settle our little one. The first time I met Arlene, she gave me a hug, scooped my baby out of my arms and ordered me to bed. I didn’t hear a peep and was able to sleep for a few hours until I was needed for a feed. When our son and I were ready, we began day and night sleep training. Arlene was so gentle with my son and tailored her approach to his individual rhythm. We’ve never looked back since, all due to Arlene’s patience, knowledge and love. She genuinely loves her work. Just before our third son was born, my husband joked: “Have you booked Arlene yet?” Our newborn was only 4 days old, so Arlene rearranged her diary, and showed up with her bag of tricks in the morning. In no time he was comfortably swaddled, on his back, a gave me some much need rest. I guarantee that you will, as we did, feel completely safe entrusting her with your little one, and close your eyes and rest. Oh and she also makes out-of-this-world chocolate brownies!"
