 I posted this for our wonderful nanny, Patty Wright,
 who is available in July, but we have not received any
 responses. I am reposting with the hope that she might
 find work with a wonderful family as a night nanny. As
 you can see below, any family would be lucky to have
 Patty's experience and warm presence as a caregiver to
 their babies.Our amazing nanny, Patty, will be
 available in July. She has been with us for over three
 months and has worked full time during the day caring
 for our twin 18 month old twin girls. We have been so
 grateful to have Patty -- she has been filling in while
 our regular nanny has been on maternity leave. We
 couldn't have been happier and more blessed to have her
 as part of our family. While Patty has worked as a day
 nanny for babies, toddlers and young children, she
 comes with over 15 years of experience, a good portion
 of which is caring for newborns as a night nanny. She
 is currently looking for such a position and is
 available to start the 1st of July. Patty is a special
 person - warm, loving, and kind. She is conscientious,
 a hard worker, and supportive -- always looking to do
 more and help in any way possible. She has such a calm
 way about her -- even in moments of chaos and crying. 
 She has a soothing effect on both the babies and the
 parents. My girls look forward to seeing Patty's
 smiling face every morning. Patty comes to the table
 with experience and knowledge, warmth and joy for
 children -- a perfect combination in my opinion. Any
 family would be incredibly fortunate to have her. She
 is a gem.Patty lives in Oakland and has a car so she is
 able to work anywhere in the Bay Area. I am providing
 both Patty's contact information as well as my own. 
 Feel free to contact either or both of us. Patty can
 provide additional references.Patty Wright

 We are currently in the middle of our 2 week trip to
 Europe with our 9 mo old twins and 3 year old son. They
 slept through the red-eye on the way here (from
 California) and then fell into a great european
 schedule right away. They nap in their strollers during
 the day except for a longer nap in the hotel from 6-8pm
 (mostly because of my son). Then we are out for dinner
 and drinks until midnight. Lots of great cafes, bars
 and restaurants with outdoor seating. Then everyone
 sleeps til 10-11am. Tons of fun. Good luck!

 HI there! We are just returned from London and Paris
 with 10mo twins. Ours didn't sleep a wink on the
 red-eye over (though it went well, no crying for 11
 hrs!!), and it took about 4 days to adjust to the 8-9hr
 time difference. If this happens to you, I would
 recommend that if they are wide awake in the middle of
 the night, try feeding them. For our kids it seemed
 that it was their hunger schedule that was keeping them
 awake. So that first night we fed them at 2am and
 played in our room for 1 hr, then layed them back down
 and they slept until the morning. The next night
 (after a full day of meals as opposed to a red-eye with
 limited food) we only had to feed one of them (the
 other woke, but stayed sleepy so we left her), and the
 third night we fed no one and they woke only briefly. 
 4th night they slept through the night. Naps, however,
 were great from day 1, just remember to wake them after
 2 hours so they don't mess up their nights. It took
 about 4 nights for them to adjust when we came back,
 too, except we mostly just played with them instead of
 feeding them (since we took a day flight home). Good
 luck!!

 I echo the Suzy Giordano recommendation. I read Healthy
 Sleep Havits and Hers and found hers easier to follow -
 my kids were up to 10 hours straight by 12 weeks - very
 simple and straight-forward. Sent from my iPhone
