Let me start by saying this was my first baby not only was it my first baby but I turned out to be one of those over protective and clingy mums to the point where on jo’a first Night Shift I cried and she had to give me a hug to put my mind at ease and I even said to her please keep him safe I was petrified having a complete stranger take care of the single most important thing in my life! I needn’t had been jo was literally incredible she was kind caring attentive she gave me morning handovers after every shift which really helped me realise just how on the ball she was my little boy was so fond of her he would cry when she left nothing was ever too much I slept like a baby myself knowing jo was taking care of my baby I only wished she would’ve moved with us and done daytime work as I would’ve kept her in my life till he was 18 🤣 the only regrets we had is that we didn’t book more nights in with her we will miss her greatly she really was one of a kind replacing her is going to be such a tall order! 🥺

Jo is down to earth and good fun to be around, which is just an added bonus when you have another person coming to stay in your home a few nights a week.
Jo came to mind our sons 3 nights a week for 6 weeks. She was skilled with twins and was able to show us tricks and techniques which we still use. She is knowledgeable in newborn care. It was reassuring to be able to ask her regular questions regarding their health and behaviours and get advice from someone that sees lots of newborns.
Jo takes direction with ease and was super flexible with arrangements. As I was breastfeeding, Jo brought the boys to me as they needed feeding. She was highly attuned to their hunger ques and within a few nights she had them sleeping between feeds and only waking for one feed a night...which was magical.
We are forever grateful for all the sleep we got with Jo..she contributed hugely to our mental well-being in those first weeks.

Hi mum! I'm a mum of 3 in South Kensington (5yo, 3yo, 3mo) and we hired Jo 5 nights per week for 6 weeks in February 22' after my son was born. "Jo nights" as we like to call them, are our best nights of the week. She got us through the hardest period of early parenthood, making it possible for me to be a present, rested, happy mom for our two older girls in the day time. I'm still in touch with Jo trying to get back on her schedule, but she books up fast! Jo arrives on time to the minute, she communicates well and gives excellent reminders. She has a command and expertise of child development that makes you feel confident immediately. She helped us find the right help for our 3 week early son who has stomach upset and had him sleeping for 4-5 hour stretches after 6 weeks. She loved him with a mother's touch. She's gentle and confident, and is a soft presence in our household. Before hiring a night nanny we worried about having someone else in our intimate space, but Jo doesn't leave a trace, she comes and goes quietly, is clean and a welcome house guest. We're even trying to convince her to travel with us to help with the kids this summer. I've had a handful of mothers helpers over the years and, hand to the heavens, I'd hire Jo as a full-time nanny in a heartbeat if she'd let me! Her rates are fair. My husband and I wish we'd known what a difference this type of help makes for marriage and family life with our oldest two. A no-brainer expense. Mum, I wish you luck finding the right fit for you, but in my opinion, Jo is such a professional that it would be hard to find a family she doesn't serve perfectly. She's brilliant.

Jo spent 2 weeks with us as a sleep nurse and was great. Professional, knowledgeable and very likeable so an easy recommendation to make.

Jo came in one night a week to feed our newborn overnight, to give us some much needed sleep. She was polite, confident and he clearly slept well when she was in charge. She kept us updated on his feeds and even gave us tips to help us on the other nights.

We have 8 week old twin girls who have been tough to deal with at times. Jo is so good with them, settles them down and they sleep for longer giving mummy a break. She gives great practical advice for us to follow and is flexible.
She is also really lovely and it’s a pleasure to have her around. Thoroughly recommend!
