Our Services
Sleep Angel supports families with their sleep difficulties, working with babies & children. Whether you’re having trouble establishing a routine, modifying sleep behaviors or just need a helping hand with sleep, Sleep Angel is here for you.
Having a new addition to your family, can be very exciting, but it can also be very stressful. There is so much information available and it is often difficult to know whether you are doing the right thing for you and your family. Sleep Angel can wade through all of that information and support you to implement strategies that will assist you in feeling calm and in control. Sleep is a learned skill that babies need to acquire, and there are lots of things that you can do to facilitate this learning
How we help – Sleep Angel will:
- Before – assess your individual family situation and discuss your sleep goals.
- During – work with you in your home to settle your children and implement effective sleep strategies.
- After – provide follow up support.
