About Me....
Who Am I?
Hello, I'm Tianni, I'm the founder of Dream A Little Dream Baby.
I am passionate about infant sleep and supporting families with their newborns.
I believe in a gentle approach to infant sleep, in a loving way, that never involves any form of cry it out methods.
When my sister had her children and I started with a nanny family who's little one was 7 weeks old, I became more interested in infant sleep and the 4th trimester.
Working with busy, career driven families with young babies it has allowed me to see the impact of a good night's sleep for the whole family.
This is when I decided to develop my career by doing a gentle sleep practitioner and maternity nurse course so I can start supporting families with gentle sleep strategies and their newborns.
Why work with me?
I have nearly 18 year's experience working with children and babies from birth to 12 years old.
I started my childcare career in a private nursery, where I worked for 6 years. I then went into the nannying industry where I have worked as a private nanny for the last 11.5 years. I also have 4 nephews and a niece, my eldest nephew is now 18 years, so I know only too well what it is like for families to manage on minimal sleep and wonder how they will get through the day.
I love helping parents to get a good night's sleep or helping new parents settle into life with a newborn for the first time or an addition to their families.
At such a special time I want all parents to feel well-rested, refreshed, and able to enjoy the first precocious moments with their little ones.
What I Do?
I love working closely with families supporting them in their homes welcoming their newborns and supporting parents to improve day naps or night-time sleep.
Every family are unique and I'm always mindful of individual family wishes and parental concerns.
Every family have different parenting styles based on their own experiences, values and lifestyles.
I work alongside parents as a team, with having the child's best interests first.
I currently offer sleep and maternity practitioner packages for babies 0 - 18 months.
I offer 8 different packages, each package is completely personalised, I look at each child individually and I'll work closely with you. Using my training and evidence based scientific research, plus my own experience working with babies and families to help you understand your newborn baby and you child's sleep needs.
