Overnight Baby Sleep Consultant in Wellington
Hi, I’m Kerry, mother of one gorgeous boy and wife to my wonderful husband Simon. As an Overnight Baby Sleep Consultant based in Wellington, I specialise in helping families during the most challenging of times: night time!
I have been very fortunate to have worked with countless babies, children and their families over the last 21 years. I started as a Nanny after completing a Diploma in Nursery Nursing (Caring Services) in Canterbury College. Then after many wonderful years of Nannying, I moved into Maternity Nursing. I completed the Maternity Practitioner Award with MNT Training in 2005, as well as courses in PND and Sleep Training. To make sure I stay up to date on the current guidelines and advice, I have just completed a refresher and up graded my Maternity Practitioner Award to level 4.
During my 21 years of experience, I have learned how to hit the ground running, gain great rapport with parents while still being in tune with the little one’s needs. Living in people’s homes during what can be a highly emotional and exhausting time, has taught me how important it is to always be mindful, respectful and sensitive to the parent’s needs. I feel it is a great privilege to be able to help new parents establish good routines and gain confidence in all aspects of new-born care.
I chose to specialise as an overnight baby sleep consultant because I realise that overnight is when parents feel so alone. Being a mum myself and having worked closely with many families, I completely understand about the struggles we all face and how easily we can feel overwhelmed.
I strongly believe that confident and well supported parents lead to very happy and contented babies. I am a great problem solver, helping even the most challenging of babies to sleep better at night time. I find it extremely rewarding enabling parents to achieve positive outcomes and long term results through my empathetic, yet logical approach.
I’m from the UK originally, but met my husband while travelling in New Zealand 12 years ago. We then lived in London for 10 years and have recently returned to enjoy a more fulfilling and outdoor lifestyle here in Wellington.
I’m so excited to be part of the Baby & Beyond team as Wellington’s specialist night time baby sleep consultant and I look forward to being able to help you and your family.
Look what our clients have been saying about Kerry…
“Kerry has been amazing! She has listened to my parenting style and helped me make changes appropriately. She encouraged the things I was doing right and gently made suggestions. She is wonderfully friendly and knowledgeable and always helps me when I have any questions. Highly recommend!” Sam, Lower Hutt
“Kerry was a lifesaver with our first. She tailored a plan to our bub and our parenting style and helped us tweak things at various ages and stages. We were able to get back on track gently and with confidence. These guys are my number one recommendation for newly sleep deprived parents” Bernadette, Eastbourne
“Thanks again for you help. I would definitely recommend your service to other mums. The written plan and the follow-up support make a huge difference compared to the support that other services provide and I think they make the difference between despair and success” Jeanette, Lyall Bay
” As new parents things can be a bit daunting. I was worried that we were not getting our babies sleep patterns sorted and felt overwhelmed by all the different advice we were getting from friends, family and others. It was great to have Kerry stay with us overnight, her knowledge and easy going nature helped us feel confident in what we were doing as parents. I felt really reassured and supported the whole time, and we even got some sleep as Kerry had us all sorted – it was the best thing I have done! The overnight consultation has put us in a great place, we understand so much more and now all three of us are sleeping like babies all night. We will be back as returning clients should we need you again. Thanks so much Kerry! ” Isabelle, Tawa
“I want to thank you Kerry for coming into our home and helping our 10 month old girl with her sleep (waking all night)! over 3 weeks now and she is going strong. We are feeling more confident with our approach! You listened to our need and fears and came up with a plan that suited us. Also all support that you gave me is much appreciated around my own anxieties of being a new mom. I love the holistic approach we were given. I think the one on one support is what this family needed! The best money we have spent! We can not thank you enough!” Julie, Wainuiomata
