Believing in Babies supports parents who want to provide calm, connection-based care for their babies and toddlers. I encourage caregivers to see their babies and toddlers as whole, capable individuals from birth, with their own drive and desire to learn. I show you how to deeply connect with your child from birth to toddler, through respectful communication, natural movement, independent play and consistent boundaries.
Hello, I'm Carly
I am an early childhood specialist training in the RIE Educaring approach and a happy mum of one.
My services
Nannying services
Part-time nannying for local families who want a calm, supportive caregiver focused on connection and respect for their child. Specialising in babies from three months to three years, but happy to provide care for any pre-school age.
Online coaching - group or 121
Individual and group coaching sessions to explore your experiences as a caregiver and support your parenting journey with others through discussion and reflection. I help you to apply respectful parenting in your everyday while you can connect with other like-minded caregivers.
Baby and toddler classes
My classes offer parents the opportunity to sit back and see their child in a new light. No distractions, no agenda, just a calm, peaceful environment with a focus on connection and respect over entertainment and stimulation. I guide parents through my approach and encourage them to notice and reflect together with other parents.
Consulting
Online zoom sessions or email consultations exploring specific scenarios where you need support. I provide detailed advice on applying respectful parenting from behaviour, sleep, mealtimes and setting boundaries, to setting up an optimal environment for independent play.
What parents say about me and my classes
Jasmine and baby H
"We absolutely love Carly’s groups. It’s the best time of the week. It has taught me so much about the RIE approach but also to trust my own instincts, to step back and trust your baby. It is such a supportive group, I wish I had found it with my first!"
Lydia and baby H
"I have really enjoyed Carly's classes and my little boy has too! Carly creates a lovely, relaxed atmosphere for both mums and babies. It's rare nowadays to go to a class that requires no participation from the mum, just a chance to sit back and observe their little one exploring and discovering. The RIE principles are shared gently and there's opportunity to learn a different way of parenting that is refreshing and liberating."
Sophie and baby J
"Have really enjoyed these classes. They have given me the confidence that less is more sometimes and to watch my little boy gaining confidence and independence and working things out for himself is such a joy. Would highly recommend!"
