How many days has it been since you have slept through the night? I am here to offer you a full nights sleep so you can be the mommy you have always dreamed you would be during the day. You will wake up refreshed ready to start a new day with a baby who has had loving care provided all night. My goal it to work myself out of a job and have your baby sleeping through the night by three - four months old. I will feed, diaper and care for your baby all night long while training him/her to sleep on his/her own.I will also help you map out a day time schedule that will allow the night schedule to fall into place. I have worked with single babies as well as twins. I have worked with babies with acid reflux and colic. So if you are looking for a good nights sleep contact me.
A night nanny usually works from 10pm - 6am at least three nights a week but five is best. I usually recommend Sunday - Thursday so the weekend can be family time.

PLANT AN HERB GARDEN
Planting an herb garden is not only fun and educational but a healthy activities that will last well beyong planting day. Choose herbs your family loves and add a few new ones. Some favorites are basil, mint, rosemary and thyme. Once your herbs are growing you can have even the youngest of children break the leaves up to go into your favorite recipes. Children are more likely to eat a new food if they have a hand in making it. Happy planting.

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING...
...It was because of Kimberly's talents that she was with our family for only a short time. She came to help us during the nights as our newly adopted son was still up and eating two to three times per night.
...Kimberly asked what kind of daytime schedule we had for him...she promptly but appropriately made some suggestions which worked like a charm. By the fourth night after implementing the schedule she had written out for us, our son was both napping during the day (which had not been the case) and sleeping through the night.
From the begining, Kimberly showed cofidence regarding her work with our son but was also extremely polite and willing to work with whatever (albeit minor) preferences or requests we had. She always came on time and showed a true interest in our son even though she was with us for only a few weeks.
Based on our experience with Kimberly, we believe any family would be lucky to have her as a caregiver.

As first time parents of twin girls, now almost four years old, we find Kimberly's level of experience and expertise unrivaled. From setting up and stocking the nursery prior to our bringing the babies home from the hospital to the consistant care and monitoring of each stage of the girls' development in the past four years, Kimberly's skills and commitment have been exceptional and unwavering...
She is extremely trustworthy and consistant. As my occupation requires me to travel both domestically and internationally, Kimberly is in full charge in my absence. I trust her implicitly with the 24-hour care and safety of my children...
Her skill set includes:
organized, organized, organized
Patient beyond measure
A natural teacher
Direct - unabashed advocate for children and not afraid to speak up
Puts the child first
Never limited to what "people" think kids are capable of at a young age, but innately knowing that they have a greater capacity than most "grown ups" give them credit for
Capable cook and "laundress"
Kept my needs as a mother in mind, working to make my life and role as a parent easier
Knowledgeable coach for new parents
Active, providing an excellent variety of experiences for the kids
Experience with spirited children
Provides suggestions and reading for parenting and problem solving
In closing, I feel if a child learns what they live, then my children's lives are truly richer due to the excellent care, love and commitment provided by Kimberly.
Kimberly exemplifies what a top-notch nanny should be; perhaps you will be fortunate enough to have her in your employ.

...I believe Kimberly to be one of the most outstanding child care workers I have ever encountered. Her intelligence, coupled with her depth of focus, have enabled her to make a real difference in the lives of children she touches. She has an amazing ability to grasp the individuality of each child and to determine what their particular intellectual, psychological, and physical needs are at any given moment. I am often amazed at her ability to describe a particular characteristic of a child, even my own children, with an astuteness that you would expect only from a parent. She cares very deeply about the development of each child under her care and she listens intently to whatever issues they might bring to her. She responsively structures activities to suit the needs of those children in her care.
In terms of her responsibility and diligence, I have often told my peers that if I had an emergency and was called away from my children, I would feel totally comfortable leaving Kimberly with my children without any instructions whatsoever, and that she would have the entire household under calm control within minutes.
