My introduction to the world of Maternity work came about when I became an aunty to triplets, almost 16 years ago. Responding to the call for help from my brother and his wife, I spent many months juggling three very small, loud and demanding little boys. This was the start of a new career on my return to my home in Wimbledon.
Since that time, I have worked with hundreds of babies spanning 15+ years, initially as a live-in, 24-hr Maternity Nanny, progressing to become a Daily/Weekly Maternity Consultant specialising in newborn care + sleep and routine training. I now work both as a Private Maternity Consultant & Baby Coach and as a teacher and maternity/newborn consultant for New Baby Company.
I offer a choice of: One-off private consultations in your own home /Tailor-made Coaching Packages/Phone & Email Consultations, Sleep & Routine Consultancy & my "Basically Baby" First Aid sessions.
I work closely with both parents where possible. This holistic approach means that everyone is comfortable with the methods used and our goals are agreed at the start. It helps to have everyone involved working as a team.
The early implementation of my guidelines and routines help to you enjoy the early weeks with a happy, rested and predictable baby by encouraging the security of a regular, familiar structure to their day.
I also offer advice and support in the familiar surroundings of your own home to help you with early days breastfeeding.
Let's hear it from the mums(and a dad). Some testimonials!
Hattie rescued us when our
son was about 10 weeks old. Despite not being a newborn, and despite the awful
habits we’d got into, she quickly got him into a routine, and transformed him
from a stressed, tired baby who found it difficult to sleep into a happy,
contented and relaxed little boy.

She helped me get my second baby into a routine and
sleeping well quickly (something I had never achieved with my first daughter!) I would not hesitate to
recommend her services, and only wish I had had her help with my first child.
Lisa, Kew
Hattie bonded with my son immediately and worked with us to get him into
a super routine which is still working now. He
has been sleeping through the night since 12 weeks old and is the best behaved
baby in our NCT class!
Melissa, Wimbledon
Having struggled with demand feeding and hardly getting any sleep, Hattie arrived to this weeping mum and re-built our household. Within days we had a calm, sensible, manageable routine and she left me feeling rested, confident and back in the driving seat knowing that she was always a phone call away. I can now plan my days and even weekends away knowing things just work! Whether you choose a few hours or a package - BOOK HER!
Linda, Wimbledon
Hattie is so experienced, confident & fun, full of great
advice and so energetic – I couldn’t recommend anybody better if you want to
have a baby in a routine and start parenthood on the right foot.
Sarah, Henley
Hattie came to help us with both our children; the first (terrifying) at 7 days old; again 2 years later for our second at 4 days old. Each time she quickly achieved a wonderful routine which my toddler thrives on to this day. Hattie was and is, without a doubt, the best investment we ever made!
James, Richmond, Surrey
My husband and I bickered constantly, blaming each other and continually trying different "baby books". Coupled with endlessly differing advice from midwives/doctors/health visitors/friends/in-laws, we were getting nowhere. Hattie taught me how to watch my baby, read him and then run my day around his natural patterns. Nights are now a joy, days are (usually!) like clockwork. Hattie was a breath of fresh air and enabled us to really enjoy time with our new baby.
Zoe, Wimbledon Park
