The Child Sleep Advisor

Professional Service for parents experiencing child sleep issues

Welcome to my page

I am a qualified Nursery Nurse with a SNNEB in Education and Childcare. With over 21 years of experience I have worked in both Education and Healthcare settings. This includes 10 years within a nursery environment, educating and meeting the care needs of children aged 3 to 5, and for the last 11 years I have been working for the NHS in Scotland in the area of health and child development from birth to five years, with a particular focus on the challenges relating to the sleep patterns of babies and young children.

Key to the success in my work is supporting families and children in their own home. I get great delight in being part of a parents' journey, empowering them to achieve and have confidence in getting their child to sleep.

If a child develops good sleeping habits the whole family benefits immensely and children who sleep soundly are calm and contented.

I can offer you a tailored approach on how to get your child to sleep in your own home.

***Customer Testimonials***

". My Husband and I approached Janette because we were having problems with our 7 months old Daughter Emily sleeping. Whether it was naps or at night we could not get her to stay asleep for long and I ended up being off work due to sheer exhaustion. Janette helped us by explaining exactly what Emily was thinking and gave us a method to help us get her to go to sleep by herself and stay asleep. The result was amazing. Within the first couple of days she was sleeping through the night and going down for naps at least 2 times a day. Janette was there for us all the way, whether is was on the phone or coming round to see us every other week. The support we have received from Janette has been second to none and we can now say we feel confident and capable of getting our daughter to sleep. This would not have happened had it not been for Janette. From the start she has been there for us. Extremely approachable, friendly and full of knowledge to help with any problem that we may have come across. She has been able to calm me when I have been down when i have been up to high dough and pulling my hair out. She explained things to Stuart and myself in a way that makes sense and is easy to fix when I thought there was no way to fix it.

I would recommend Janette to anyone who may need even the smallest amount of help with their children.

She has been the greatest help to us and can honestly say that we would not be where we are now if I had not found Janette.

Many thanks for all your help"

"Vik is my second child. My first child slept relatively well so when we had persistent problems with vik's sleep i was taken by surprise. Luckily we met Janette. From the outset she was kind, understanding and non-judgmental. I was very grateful for this as, in my sleep deprived state, i felt quite vulnerable and hopeless about the situation. As well as giving sensible and practical advice, she gave me the confidence I needed to take control of the situation. It has taken time and has not been easy but Vik is now much better at settling to sleep and wakes less during the night. Perhaps most importantly I feel much calmer and more confident and dealing with sleep problems as they arise. I am also getting more sleep, which helps!

Janette's experience really shines through in the down-to-earth advice that she gives. She approaches the problem in a holistic manner, addressing issues with all aspects of family life that could be having an impact on sleep problems. For example she gave me some very useful advice about adapting my toddler routine in order to better address her behaviour and problems getting Vik to settle.

I would whole-heartedly recommend Janette to anyone who is having problems with their baby's sleep or lack of it.



thank you Janette "
