Victoria Clifford is a highly experienced maternity nanny and certified baby sleep consultant based in Brisbane, with a rich international career spanning over 20 years. Her dedication to nurturing newborns and supporting parents has taken her across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and the United States. Over the years, Victoria has built a reputation for her compassionate approach, professional expertise, and ability to empower families through the stressful early months of parenthood.
She started her career with intensive training at Rangi Ruru Nanny School in New Zealand, a premier institution known for its high standards in childcare education. This foundation in professional nannying sharpened her understanding of infant care, developmental milestones, and the importance of establishing nurturing routines from day one. Her training also emphasised the psychology of parent–child attachment and respectful caregiving approaches.
Early in her career, Victoria worked with families in the UK and New Zealand, providing both live-in and daytime support. These roles immersed her in diverse family dynamics, developing her ability to assess situations quickly and offer tailored strategies. She helped parents manage everything from feeding and swaddling to safe sleep practices and gentle settling methods.
Understanding that each family’s needs and philosophies around sleep can vary widely, Victoria made a commitment to ongoing professional development. That dedication led her to complete certification through N.E.S.T. (Newborn Education and Support Training), a recognised program focusing on infant sleep patterns, parental education, and sustainable sleep skills for families.
Victoria’s international experience became especially valuable when she moved to the United States. There, she supported high-demand parenting environments and worked closely with sleep-deprived families facing the pressures of early childhood. She helped them implement slow, consistent routines that led to steady improvements in infant sleep cycles.
In 2022, Victoria and her family relocated to Brisbane, Queensland, where she established Brisbane Sleep Consultants. Combining her nannying background with formal sleep training, she began offering in-home consultations for local families.
