About Me

Hello and thank you for visiting my page! I am looking forward to helping you discover the magic of sleep!

As a proud mother of a 19 year old daughter and 7 year old son, I often look back to those sleep deprived months of their infancy and toddlerhood.  While I greatly miss their sweet baby selves, I wish I could go back and give us all more restful nights and easy naptimes! I was always so envious of mamas who could just lay their babes down for sleep and then they would sleep through the night! I just thought the nightly go-to-sleep battle, sleepless nights and nap refusals were just part of it all and for far too long told myself, it’s just a stage, they’ll grow out of it or they’re only little ones but, looking back, there were so many meltdowns and those stages of struggle that were probably more sleep deprivation than anything else.

Like many others, my career path changed during the Pandemic.  I have been a nurse for over twenty years and deeply loved taking care of others and educating patients and their families.  My passion for teaching and caring for others led me to opening a home daycare

The pride and satisfaction I felt with helping patients over the years easily transferred to caring for children and knowing that I was providing a loving, educational, and safe environment for parents to bring their little ones each day.  Caring for babies and toddlers during naptime significantly reminded me of my own kiddos who were never independent sleepers.  Learning to self-sooth can help children to sleep better at home and ease their way while in daycare.

As parents, we would never deprive our families of food, water or shelter so why do we forget about that other core need…..SLEEP?!  So, lets work together to give your little ones and YOU the gift of sleep because rested children are happier children!  (And happier children make for happier parents!)

So, if you’re struggling with your child’s sleep, there are a couple of different ways I can help: an in-person consultation or a consultation via Zoom. Both include a customized, step-by-step plan to solve your child’s sleep problems.

The best way to decide which of these options is right for you is to call me for a FREE 15-minute telephone consultation. That will give us a chance to discuss your child’s specific situation and come up with some ideas for a solution.
