You were never meant to do this without a village

Holistic sleep support
for international families.

If your child is struggling with sleep, I'm here to help. Together, we'll understand what's affecting your little one's sleep and create a personalised plan that fits your child, your family, and your daily life.

Years walking beside families & their children

Every family is different.
I listen first, then we make a plan that fits yours.

I'm Renée. Italian, Dutch, and an expat myself. I've always felt a connection with babies and children. Caring for them has never felt like a job, it is something that I've genuinely loved as long as I can remember.

I studied pedagogy and psychology because I saw early how much a parent's mental health shapes a child's. After fifteen years as a nanny, au pair and kindergarten teacher, I've learned to recognise a baby's cues and understand what they need, while guiding parents with reassurance, understanding, and practical support.

More about me
New parents far from home often navigate the hardest season of their lives without the nearby support so many others lean on. No grandparents, no village, fewer trusted hands to hold.

How it works

As your sleep consultant, my role is to understand your child's sleep, identify what's getting in the way, and guide you towards lasting change. I'll give you the knowledge, tools, and support to help your child sleep better, while making sure the approach feels right for your family.

How we'll work together
01

I listen first

Your child's temperament, your values, your rhythms, and everything you've already tried.

02

We build together

A responsive, evidence-informed plan made with you, never handed down to you.

03

I stay close

Through the harder nights, adjusting as life shifts and holding space for the weight of it.

04

You reach your goal

The goal isn't dependency. It's confidence. You leave trusting your own instincts.

"We turned to her because our newborn was sleeping very little and very poorly, and the results were exceptional. She showed a rare level of empathy, guiding us step by step through the most exhausting moments. If you are struggling with your children's sleep, I wholeheartedly recommend her — it can truly be life-changing."
