Sleep Consultant
A gentle, soothing and individual approach for helping your child to sleep.
At Simply Sleeptime my aim is to help and encourage a good bedtime routine to suit each family on an individual and personalised basis.
My methods do not involve leaving your child to cry it out alone, but are based on a gentler approach with your guidance and over time to self sooth. I will work with you to make these changes as smooth and natural as possible

About Me
I am a Professional Sleep Consultant with European and Global accreditation, and have experience working with solving sleep issues in many environments.
​
I have worked both in the UK and overseas as a Nanny for 10 years.
​
On a voluntary basis, my skills have been used in a challenging environment in a paediatric hospital facility in Romania.
​
Throughout this time I have gained experience with children of various ages from newborn onwards, including twins, triplets, premature babies and those with additional needs.
​
Whether your child has simply grown used to being rocked to sleep, may have additional needs, or you have multiple children, I can work with you to create a calmer, more relaxed bedtime.
My Philosophy
My aim to help those in need of help with getting their child to sleep, and to stay asleep.
Im sure many of you have experienced not getting enough sleep due to your child's love of playing at 3am, or the constant rocking them to sleep for hours on end.
​
I hope to help you achieve a relaxed bedtime and evening for you and your family, with babies happily napping in the day, and not waking every hour at night.
​
My methods include a gentle approach of being with your child when they need you and not leaving them to cry. At the same time creating a routine that suits you as a family and that works well for your child.
I will work with you by learning of your parenting ethos, your child’s current daily routine (such as the times and amounts of sleep, food and activity), as well as your child’s likes and dislikes and temperament. With this, I can help to tailor a solution directly suited to your family’s needs and preferences.
After an initial short consult, I will ask you to keep a sleep and food diary for 3 days, as well as filling in a pre consultation form that will go over key current sleep habits. I will then have a telephone consult with you where we can fully discuss the sleep problems, possible changes and your aims. At this point I write a full sleep plan for you to begin. I will be available to help and support you and your family whilst you implement these new changes.
With my sleep training methods I hope to help you to resolve any sleep issues in a way that allows your child to learn to settle to sleep. This will be in a calmer environment, with healthy sleep habits and learning how to eventually settle and soothe themselves as needed.
''Napping is 100% better! 'J' is having a morning nap in his cot of 30 mins- 1hr and an afternoon nap of 45mins- 2hrs! These naps make such a difference to me in terms of being able to get things done or just having some time to myself. Also 'J' isn't fed to sleep anymore! He is put down awake in his cot and goes off on his own, occasionally one of us sits with him if necessary.''

''In the mornings he now wakes up nicely and does not cry for a bottle - he will wait happily until I have got up, made a cup of tea and then has a bottle. This is a big improvement - as he was waking any time between 4.30-6 for a bottle. He now wakes at 6.45-7.15 for the morning :-) huge thanks for helping with this massive improvement.''
