Here to help you all sleep better and have sweet dreams
Most of us think that sleep should come easily to babies and children, as it is one of our most basic needs. But so often this isn't the case. I am here to help you all get the sleep you need. With a gentle, soothing, hands on, holistic approach to sleep and happy tots. You will stay with your child, comforting and nuturing them to sleep when they need it. I will then support you while you implement the changes. So you feel confident and calm, and your children feel secure, safe and loved.
About me
Hello, I am Kate. I am a trained nanny with a BTEC National Dipolma in childhood studies and a certified OCN baby and child sleep consultant.
I have been looking after children professionally for over 20 years, helping me to become an infant sleep specialist. Over this time I have seen just how important it is for everyone to have the correct amount of sleep in order to be able to function correctly and happily.
Whilst asleep our bodies, especially babies and children's bodies are growing and repairing physically and mentally. Our immune systems are strengthened, as are positive, happy feelings and moods. Sleep helps us to stay alert and encourages healthy appetites. In addition our brains are processing all that we've learnt that day, which is a huge amount for tiny tots.

Sleep consulting with Kate
My methods do not involve leaving your children to cry it out. Although they are very likely to protest to the change by crying, as this is their main way of communicating with you. It just means that they are questioning what is going on. When they wake, you will stay with them, helping to reassure and comfort them until they are asleep again. Once they become accustomed to the new routine they will no longer protest and realise they can happily soothe themselves back to sleep after waking.
