Neighbour knocking door at all hours asking for help

There is a family that have recently moved in a few doors down.
English is not the native language and the family do not speak English very well.

A few times now the older lady has knocked on my door at around 10:30pm at night asking for help.
I did open the door and helped her with her phone issue.

Its like now it’s all the time, she will just come round in the day and night asking for help.

I have young children one of whom is a newborn and don’t want her to keep knocking on my door, especially at night.

She does this to the other neighbours as well.

DP has told me to just ignore the door now.
AIBU?

Why are you opening the door at 10.30 pm and not your husband? Is he working?

Anyway, I’d just ignore.

Just tell her to her face you can't and won't help her anymore. If she needs that much help, she needs a permanent solution than bothering neighbours.
