A healthy sleep foundation is a gift your child will cherish throughout their entire life.

Hi! I’m Kara.

I don’t know if you’ve guessed yet, but I LOVE sloths! 🦥 They look like a mix of a cuddly bear and a monkey, and like me, they love to SLEEP!

I’m a Denver native and happily live here with my husband, daughter, and our 80-pound rescue pup.

I have my bachelor’s degree in Behavioral Science from Metro State University and for the last fifteen years, I have been working as a Nanny and House Manager for many wonderful families.

I figured out very quickly in my career that one of the most valuable ways I could help families was by getting their kiddos to sleep.

I read as many books and blogs on sleep training as possible and put my knowledge to the test. I successfully helped their little ones get on age-appropriate schedules, fall asleep independently, and stay asleep!

Due to my background, I was very confident in my knowledge of child sleep, and when I had my own daughter in 2020 I never had to formally sleep-train her because I knew what to do from day one.

Because my entire family was well-rested, I was able to confidently navigate being a first-time mom in the midst of a global pandemic.

I wanted to be able to help more parents than just my nanny families, which lead me to become a certified sleep consultant through the well-renowned Family Sleep Institute (FSI).

During my certification process through FSI, I was very vocal about the fact that my daughter has always been an incredible sleeper and I never thought in a million years that that could change.

Well, I was wrong.

Out of nowhere, my wild toddler became a chronic crib jumper and refused to sleep. My husband and I were sleep deprived and had no idea what to do.

We felt defeated.

I was extremely fortunate and received invaluable advice and support from my fellow classmates and instructors. Through the process of family meetings and quickly establishing easy-to-understand sleep rules, my daughter returned to being an A-class sleeper.

That experience was extremely humbling and taught me what it feels like to be sleep deprived and have no idea what to do to.

Having a support system and creating a plan is what got my entire family through it.

Because of my experience, background, and certification, I can confidently say I will create your child’s sleep plan and be your support system to get your child and family sleeping sound!

Why hire a Pediatric Sleep Consultant?

Are you exhausted beyond belief and can’t for the life of you figure out why your child isn’t sleeping? Do you want to set your newborn up for success? Is your toddler or preschooler not staying in bed?

You may have read countless books and blogs on child sleep and mindlessly Google-searched in the middle of the night for answers.

You probably noticed it is all contradicting and very confusing. I’m sure you’ve tried it all and nothing seems to work. Or what once worked isn’t anymore.

I’m here to alleviate that stress!

You are the expert of your child.

With your knowledge of your child combined with my sleep expertise, we will create a customized plan that is perfect for your child and your entire family.

We need to sleep like we need food to eat and air to breathe.

Giving your child a healthy sleep foundation right from the start will stay with them for their entire lives.

There are many elements to think about when building that foundation - environment, schedule, timing, and your role.

There is no need to feel guilty or apologize for bad habits that may have been formed. It’s a lot to figure out! Let me help.

I loved being a Nanny. Not only because of my love for the children but being able to support the parents through trying times.

It really does take a village.

Let me be your sleep guide by empowering and supporting you through this process that will not only be life-changing for your child but your entire family!

Because of my experience, background, and certification, I can confidently say I will create your child’s sleep plan and be your support system to get your child and family sleeping sound!
