Nuala is a great person who gave my husband and I very solid advice. She helped us with our three kids under the age of 6 who were very active and demanding of our attention. The kids settled into Nuala's company immediately and grew very fond of her. She showed how to discipline them in a fair way and they respected Nuala immediately - Super Nanny. My husband and I were apprehensive about leaving somebody into our home initially but Nuala's calming and caring nature settled us very quickly. Thank you very much Nuala for helping our family and giving us so many tips and notes to reference in the event that we need it. xx

NannyNu came to us four weeks ago to help us with out 8month old twins. We also have a five year old who was having a lot of problems since the twins were born. Nuala guided us with expert ease. Our little boys adored her, their faces literally lit up when she spoke to them. She is completely charming in her manner when dealing with overtired stressed and sad parents. I urge anyone out there going through what we did to get Nanny Nu in to sort you out. She's a game changer. Transformed our lives in two nights. Thank you so very much Nuala

Almost 3 years of sleepless nights and absolute exhaustion we got Nanny Nuala in to wave her magic wand, and it really did seem as simple as that! We had exhausted all other avenues before this and just can't believe we didn't get her sooner! After 2 nights our toddler who never slept more than 20 minutes without waking since he was born was now sleeping in his own room, in his own bed and able to self soothe himself for the first time in his life and stayed in bed for 12 hours!!! From the third night till now - 6 weeks later he is still sleeping 11-12 hours, he walks himself up to bed every night at 7pm, climbs in, waits for a hug & kiss, lies down and is asleep in less than a minute! We still cant believe it! He loves going to bed now and it has made a huge difference to his behaviour and concentration which we noticed straight away after the first night. He is so much more content and relaxed during the daytime. We don't know ourselves having all this spare time in the evenings now, we barely saw each other before as we were constantly taking turns trying to settle him or sleep with him, we were walking zombies! All our lives have been turned around and we can actually start living a normal life again - after we catch up on our 3 years of sleep deprivation! Were getting greedy now though, the more sleep were getting the more we want. We are all sleeping full solid nights and it is just pure bliss. I really don't know how we survived on such little sleep for so long. We would have had a maximum of 2 hours unbroken sleep if we were lucky before! We will be forever grateful for the difference you have made to our lives Nanny Nuala - thank you so much :) Leah, Tony & Tj

NannyNu! Came across your website just now and felt compelled to leave a testimonial. Hope all is well with you xxxxxxxxx NannyNu came to us in 2012 when we had our triplets last year. She had worked for several friends of ours and came highly recommended. We were worried she was finished in the UK but to our relief she came to look after us all. I was in a bad way after an infection following a caesarian and had to have total bed rest. I was also fretting about being unable to breastfeed our babies. They were so little and I wanted to give them the best chance. NannyNu came into our home and organized us all, my husband was given his orders and he obeyed every word. Our mothers(the Grannys) were told what and what not to do and they followed suit. I was told not to do anything nor was I allowed. Nuala mucked in doing literally everything for us while still managing to sort our new babies out. After six weeks, they were in such good routines, we found it easy to take over even though we hated seeing her pack her bags on the last day. We were heartbroken saying goodbye to this little ray of sunshine who was such a huge help to us in those first few weeks as frightened parents. Our girls are now a year old and thriving and I have no hesitation in recommending Nuala to anyone. Best money we ever spent.

My apologies Nuala, I should have written this months ago but better late than never. Nuala came to us to sleep train our two year old and to help us through some serious behavioral problems with our five year old. Both issues were related and we only discovered that with Nuala's arrival. Through exhaustion and the desperation to survive careers, our own relationship and our relationship with our two children, we literally could not see what was in front of our faces. We had tried to talk to friends in the past about our children and had always backed down because nobody understood. Nuala did. Immediately, compassionately and with complete empathy. There were tears and not just from the children. Finally, somebody understood our plight. Our children warmed to Nuala immediately, something they never did with strangers and we felt she genuinely fell for them. She believes children are magical fun creatures. We do now but before we had somewhat different opinions. Our situation was delicate and there were horror stories to share but Nuala guided us with the patience and caring of a saint. The two nights she spent with us were fun, I never thought I'd say that but they were. She was an utter joy to have in our home. We followed her guidelines and it was amazingly simple. Nuala came back for two afternoons to work through some behavioral issues with my older child. I was astonished how easily she turned the situation around, leaving us with guidelines for the future, should there be any regression. I admit I have left writing a testimonial for six months as I felt sure that somehow it would all go pear shaped again but it hasn't. We are now looking forward to Christmas and spending it with family, something that last year caused us untold stress and dread. Nuala's cards are on my surgery desk and I recommend her without hesitation to all of my patients who have troubled children. You've changed our lives Nuala, I know from your face when we told you about our friends you helped that it doesn't quite register with you. You really do not understand how much difference you make. Thankyou so very very much, we are eternally grateful.

We were living in a waking nightmare of sleepless nights and tantrums. Our twin lads were 2years old and still co sleeping when Nuala came to us. We booked her for sleep training but didn't really believe it would work. We expected two nights of sheer hell and torture but it turned out to be a real hoot. Nuala showed us how to acknowledge when our lads, were tired and needed sleep and when they were about to have a tantrum too. Our lads adored her sense of fun and she really engaged with them. After two nights, we were terrified of what would happen when she wasn't there but we followed her guidelines and amazingly they slept in their own beds on the third night for twelve hours. That was three weeks ago and still going strong. Thanks a million Nuala. Melissa, Dermot and the "likely lads" x

What can I say? After hearing about Nuala from friends, we hired Nuala in December to help us with our two year old son who was not only waking every hour of the night but also being a very difficult child during the day. We felt like complete failures but Nuala turned us around in two nights. We couldn't believe it when our child slept for TWELVE hours on the third night. Unbelievable! Nuala also gave us tons of advice regarding his behaviour and the change has been nothing short of dramatic.She also gave us very helpful advice in finding a nanny and we found a great girl with her help. We both feel far more confident than we did before your visit and we can't thankyou enough. Wishing you the very best for the future.

I first heard of Nuala through the sleep discussion boards on www.rollercoaster.ie. http://www.rollercoaster.ie/boards/mc.asp?ID=117837&G=21&forumdb=2 and also http://www.rollercoaster.ie/boards/mc.asp?ID=162356&G=21&forumdb=2 We have three daughtes, none of who were sleeping through the night and all of them cranky and unruly during the day. I had trouble convincing my wife to hire Nuala, nearly had to gamble my marraige on it but our lives have been transformed since her visit. Our lives before Nuala came(in Sept 2010) were a horrible sleep deprived nasty blur, within two nights she completely turned around our childrens sleep problems and with a few day time visits, sorted out their behavioural problems. We felt failures as parents for having to get someone in to help us but our experience has made us open up to other parents and we realise we are not alone. From the bottom of our hearts Nuala, we offer our heartfelt gratitude, Mark, Darina, Sarah, Lou and Katie.

2 years on Nuala and Leah is still a great sleeper and thanks to your help and the tools you left us with our 5 month old son Liam is also sleeping well. Liam wouldn't be here if we were still battling sleepless nights with Leah. So from a very happy and expanding family, we could never thank you enough. Linda, Davie, Leah and baby Liam x

Two years on since Nuala came and sorted us out and all four boys still sleeping and beahaving well :) A thousand thankyous Nuala, I don't think you even realise the impact you have on people's lives. Our lives were a nightmare of sleepless nights and badly behaved children before you came and now we have our lives back and are able to enjoy our children to the full without having to cope with sleep deprivation. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou.
