To the next lucky mummies that will have the chance to have Alex's precious help,
I have a 9 months old baby who never slept through the night for nine whole months!
He was also throwing up a lot and that worried me very much.
A lovely friend of mine seeing me so tired and desperate, gave me Alex's
number to get some help. That was the beginning of my new life.
When I first called, she was so nice and understanding. I knew at that moment that things were going to change for the better. My husband and I were really tired from the countless nights we were up with our child. He was so much different from our first one who was sleeping through the night by 3 months. Luca was not the type of baby that just woke up a few times and would go back to sleep. He was much worse. He woke up 7-8 times per night and then up around 5:30 am. We never knew going to bed what he was going to do that night. It was awful!
Alex is so sweet and thoughtful. She was always there to encourage me and was very confident that she could help me get Luca to sleep all night. Even if she was not here physically, I felt she was.
We talked on the phone and then she sent me some emails explaining me what to do. Talking to her was like visiting with an old friend. She was with me every step of the way, especially in rough times during the sleep training that is really difficult! The new routine she helped me establish for my son, not only worked very well but also made Luca practically stop throwing up!! It was such a relief to finally sleep at night and know he was okay.
Thanks Alex for everything!!
To Whom it may concern
Alex Lowther worked for us in July 2012 for an initial 3 week booking to look after our second daughter.
Alex very quickly became indispensible to our family life. Her professionalism with our daughter was balanced with her fun nature and she was great to have around the house.
I was very keen to instil a routine as soon as possible and Alex, with her rigorous note taking set about creating a schedule. Updating it daily, our baby very quickly slotted in to family life.
After two weeks, we extended Alex’s contract to six weeks. She is incredibly diligent, works hard day and night and certainly set us on our way with a very content baby, who started sleeping through the night at nine weeks.
To Whom It May Concern:
Alex came to us for 10 days in January 2012 to sleep train my second child (5 months old). My son had developed very bad habits of being rocked to sleep and waking up every morning at 4am.
From the first day she was with us her warmth, confidence and love for babies was evident. Compared to other candidates I had interviewed, not only was it evident that she was the most experienced in sleep training, but she was so easy going, bubbly and just such a pleasure to talk to.
The first few days were fairly stressful, as my son was very resilient, therefore we would have to let him cry it out a little. However she was very professional, always keeping me informed of what she was doing, the next steps and always monitoring down to the minute how long she would leave him before going in to comfort him, never leaving him to cry desperately. And this was all done always with a smile on her face!
For the 10 days with us, she cared for my baby 24hrs a day, getting him into a good routine, introducing solids to him, and walking me thru the weaning process. She was completely trustworthy, affectionate and attentive.
In just 10 days she managed not only to get my baby to sleep thru the night, but also to go down for his morning, lunch and evening naps awake.
And when I was spending time with the baby, she was either cleaning up after him, or entertaining my toddler who adored her.
I will for sure be contacting her again for any future babies.
I highly recommend her for any childcare position and would be very happy to speak further about Alex’s qualifications and wonderful characteristics.
