Specialties
I'm Vanessa Simpson, and for over 15 years, I’ve been dedicated to caring for little ones and supporting families. My mission is to provide compassionate, tailored care so your family can thrive with the rest, knowledge, and confidence you deserve.
My passion for early childhood education began in high school, where I ran a mini preschool and fell in love with child development. This led to a career in daycare, preschools, and nannying. While working as a nanny, I saw the transformative power of sleep consulting firsthand, inspiring me to become a Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant.
After a year of focusing on sleep support, I realized how much I missed hands-on with littles, leading me to become a Certified Postpartum Doula. Now, I offer a comprehensive approach blending sleep consulting and postpartum care to help families navigate this time with confidence and ease.
I’m committed to providing personalized, family-centered care tailored to your unique needs. Whether you’re seeking expert sleep support or compassionate postpartum guidance, I’m here for you every step of the way.
