At Sleeptight Nannies we realise that every baby is unique and special, Our aim is to provide you with a nanny suited to your baby's individual needs.
We know how important it is to find the right person for you and your child.
Celebrating a ten year partnership in 2017, Catherine and Antonia have gone from a new night nanny agency with a small team of nannies, to providing all child care services, with a database of over 100 nannies.
Incorporating courses and workshops into the business mean Catherine and Antonia meet up with the nannies on a regular basis.
Affiliations with relevant organisations and businesses such as First Aid companies and sleep training professionals, has enabled Sleeptight nannies to grow into a popular choice of agencies for families and nannies.
I take care of our London based families and nannies. When Sleeptight Nannies was born, I was working as a nanny locally. When my charges went to school full time, I was given the opportunity to ‘go back to school’ spending five years studying for a degree in health and social care with The Open University.
There have been challenging times; working part time, running the business, as well as studying and raising my daughter, but very rewarding! I am proud of how we have sustained Sleeptight, facing lots of competitors.
I think our secret is our informal approach with nannies and families which puts everyone at ease straight away. Now my daughter is grown up and I have the degree under my belt, I can focus on pushing our company forward again, incorporating what I have learned, as well as social media advances to develop new avenues for Sleeptight Nannies.
I take care of our Hertfordshire families and nannies. When Sleeptight started in 2007, I was working as a full time nanny. Catherine and I had built a great circle of nanny acquaintances, and between us started throwing ideas around how to use our knowledge, qualifications and experience to create an agency where nannies felt like they could relate to us, and the experience we had working for families meant we had an understanding of what families look for when looking for a nanny.
In our first ten years, I have enjoyed running our Hertfordshire branch; networking with other local businesses has brought us new connections to the company which has worked well.
I have also had two children whilst running the business, and keep my hands in the night nannying side of things too, working on an ad-hoc basis, so I’ve been kept busy, but wouldn’t change a thing!
'We can offer peace of mind' All our nannies are personally interviewed by us.
'Health and safety is paramount' All our nannies hold current First Aid certificates
'Quality of care is key' All our nannies have a recognised qualification.
"If sleep is what you're after then a night nanny might be the answer. A nanny will arrive at your home at around nine in the evening and, after chatting through your baby's routines will take over baby duties for the night, leaving you to grab some sleep"
