SYLIVA EMOKPAE THE SLEEP NANNY

How to prioritise healthy sleep for the whole family

As a first-time mother, I discovered the joys and challenges of parenthood, grappling with exhaustion and guilt. Inspired by the 2020 lockdown, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery through blogging, learning to balance expectations and embracing my whole parenting journey with more positivity.

My mission focuses on a crucial aspect of well-being: sleep. Having personally battled sleep deprivation, I turned to a sleep expert to transform my son’s sleep habits. This gave me the confidence to help my son long-term, not just with his sleep, but with my entire parenting approach. This experience drove me to become a Certified Infant & Child Sleep Consultant!

Today, as a Certified Partner of the Sleep Nanny, I provide customised sleep solutions for babies, toddlers, and children. I am committed to exceeding your sleep goals, offering compassionate support, and helping families thrive.

Hi, I'm Liz. I have worked in the childcare industry for 12 years working with children from 6 months to 11 years old. Through this period, and from having my own 2 crazy children, I have learnt a huge amount about first aid and how important it is. I have been in many first aid situations and my first aid training gave me the confidence to deal with the injuries appropriately. I feel this is a skill that all parents should have as sometimes the unexpected will happen, and remaining calm and confident is the key.
