Kris was absolutely wonderful as a night nurse to our 8-week old! We were only able to work with her for a few nights but felt confident and soothed in her ability to care for our somewhat medically-complex newborn--he is on an NG tube and has some medications he needs at specific times and Kris handled it all smoothly, giving us confidence in leaving it to her! She also gave us some insight into his sleep patterns, even at this early stage, and into some good choices around treating gassiness & reflux. She is so sweet and babies--at least ours--take to her immediately! Always a good sign. Highly recommend working with Kris! read more

Our little guy is such a FOMO baby and wouldn't sleep longer than 3 hour stretches. Hired Kris to help us sleep train! It wasn't easy but he eventually got it down after two weeks and ever since it has been so nice that he is sleeping through the night. Sleep has helped me be a better mom! read more

I highly recommend Kris! I could not have survived without her. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience in sleep training and everything babies. Not only is she extremely informative but very communicative and personable. read more

Kris is amazing. Full of knowledge, communicative, extremely timely and I love that she is focused on nontoxic baby products! We did both night nanny & sleep training with her for our first baby and I couldn't recommend her enough. read more

Kris is absolutely amazing. We worked with her for our first born Jack for a consult when we were clueless and struggling around 8 weeks. she helped us get on track to get him sleeping much better and into a routine. 3 years later when our second born Patrick was born, Kris was our night specialist, spending the first three months two nights per week. working with kris from the start of Patricks life made him a wonderful sleeper, sleeping through the night multiple times before 3 months and also consistently just waking up once or twice per night maximum. Kris is not only a night specialist but also available for support, like a coach! she has been so helpful for both of my babies and I highly recommend working with her! read more

Kris has been a huge help to us! We did an initial sleep consultation with her when our baby was about 6 weeks old, which absolutely set the stage for sleeping through the night by 3 months. Yes, she addresses sleep, but does it in a holistic way that looks at the full picture, which makes a huge difference. We've continued to rely on Kris for help with naps and additional sleep-related questions that come up. She's incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and understanding. We'd be lost without her and our daughter would absolutely not be the great sleeper she's become. I'd highly recommend Kris to any parent who is struggling with sleep and/or who wants to establish good sleep habits for their baby. read more

We had a great experience working with Kris. She was reliable, punctual, and took great care of our newborn in the early months!

Thankful for Kris's expertise! Asked for her help with our almost 16 month old who is waking up far too early in the morning! She gave actionable advice and suggestions we plan to follow. She's knowledgeable, kind and supportive. If we have any more children will be working with her early on! Thank you Kris! read more

We couldn't have sleep trained any of our 4 babies without the wonderful help of Hush A Bye Newborns couldn't be more pleased and happy with the help we received just a short time with Kris and our first set of twins were sleeping through the night and then again when we had our second set of twins she was the absolute best and we had peace of mind knowing they were in good hands and again after a few days they were sleeping through the night again. We are so thankful to have had the help of Hush a Bye Newborns and couldn't suggest them enough to everyone we know who is having babies. read more

Hiring Kris was easily one of the best decisions we made as first-time parents. She fit right into our home and routine, making those early, sleep-deprived weeks so much easier. Inviting someone into your home during such a vulnerable time can feel uncomfortable, but Kris instantly put us at ease. And our dogs? They were obsessed with her--honestly, I think they were more excited for her visits than we were! Best of all, thanks to her sleep guidance, our little guy was sleeping through the night by three months. read more

While pregnant with our twins, we started researching newborn night help in case we needed it. Kris was responsive right off the bat, put us at ease and was ready to help whenever the timing made sense. She ended up watching our twins overnight a couple of nights each week from 2-4 months old. I cannot tell you what a relief it was to feel confident and comfortable in Kris' expertise so we could get some much needed sleep! She was communicative, reliable, caring and took great care of our babies. Kris was happy to offer advice and support, which we really appreciated during the newborn time. You will not regret hiring Kris for nighttime help! read more

I can't say enough how WONDERFUL Kris is and what amazing help and support she provided for first time parents. We did a virtual consult before our son was born and I am SO SO grateful. Going over all of the material before the foggy newborn days made it so much easier to go back, refresh my brain and get our son into a sleep routine. Her program and guidance helped reassure me that I was on that right path, especially as I questioned everything I was doing as a new parent. Our son has been sleeping 7pm-7am since he was 3 months old and I cannot sing her praises loudly enough. Even friends with toddlers are asking what our sleep secrets are and refer them to Kris. Going though her program virtually we felt supported throughout. She sent us tons of helpful information, product recommendations, tips and tricks, and was available for questions whenever I needed. Our son is on a great routine day and night. He is thriving on a routine and it makes planning and scheduling social events so much easier. Even our nanny is impressed with his schedule. We will definitely being using Kris's services for our next child. read more

Kris was wonderful to work with. She was always on time, professional, dependable, kind and warm. Kris is incredible at her job and had the twins sleeping through the night in just a couple of months! She is truly gifted in her work with newborns and children, the twins loved her and still do. I scheduled Kris to arrive when the twins first got home from the hospital, they were about 5-6 weeks early, but caught up and progressed very well. With Kris' gentle sleep shaping techniques, one baby slept all night first at around 10 weeks and the other baby around 12 weeks, both at their "actual age" which was amazing! Kris also does amazing consultations, I learned so much. Her consultations were incredibly beneficial and she is very thorough. Now a holistic NCS, Kris can recommend alternative and natural remedies and products. We still use the body wash, lotions, laundry detergent that Kris started us on. And the natural remedies have been great alternatives to drugstore medications especially during cold and flu season and again when allergy season arrives. I really can't say enough about how wonderful and valuable Kris is, I would've been lost trying to navigate newborn twins without her help. read more

For a first time mom who is in the health care field I thought I would know most all I needed to about caring for another human but boy was I wrong! Luckily we had Kris in our corner and by doing virtual consultants helped us tremendously, for both me and my husbands transition into parenthood. From helping you nail down routines, getting better sleep, finding the right formula if needed, the best bed/bath time routines, all over Kris has all the experience to lead you to the best of the best. Anytime I feel unsure about things as a mom my thought is to ask Kris, because not only is she knowledgeable she makes you feel comfortable in a time where everything is so new. 100% recommend having her in your corner too! read more

Kris was our overnight newborn care specialist, and sleep trained both our kids. She earned our trust quickly and she knows exactly what she is doing. We worked with many night nannies along the way, and no one knows how to do what Kris does. Kris know babies and her approach is based on research and a wealth of expertise, and it works!!!! Your kids will be happy and rested and so will you. We always knew we were in great hands! She coached us through and encouraged us when we needed it most. She helped us establish a healthy schedule, and taught us valuable skills. We LOVE Kris!!! We couldn't have been so successful without her. We are still in contact regularly as we hit regressions and different stages of development. Kris is a real expert and you'll love how caring and gentle she is with your little ones. read more

We hired Kris and Hush A Bye Newborns and have been using Kris and her services since our daughter was 12 weeks old. Kris was extremely knowledgeable, kind and helpful with all of her sleep training expertise and consults. Our daughter is now consistently sleeping 11-12 hours a night thanks to Kris's amazing services. The process can seem overwhelming but Kris supported us with great advice and materials to make the process manageable. We would highly recommend Kris & Hush A Bye Newborns. read more

I was looking for newborn support from afar, for my bestie in Colorado. Kris doesn't travel to her area, but went above and beyond to help find a reputable agency that does, make a personal recommendation, and she offered other helpful things for my friend as well. If I end up in Colorado or have any other friends with babies there, I would call Kris first! read more

I would highly recommend Kris as a sleep consultant especially for first time parents. She had so many great recommendations and being available via text to answer questions was a game changer for me. Her advice was better than my pediatricians and worked! There's so much conflicting information out there having reliable information coming from one source lessens the stress dramatically regarding knowing what to do and not do as a first time parent. It's never too late to engage with her but we did just shy of my baby girls 3rd month and it was the best timing because she never really formed bad habits and was capable of sleeping through the night by then. I've already referred Kris to several of my friends and will continue to do so. She was referred to me by a close friend. Anytime a lot of your business comes from word of mouth to me that means you're an expert in what you do and you have excellent service. Thanks again Kris! read more

Kris absolutely saved our family! She is so knowledgable and helped us get our 5 month old sleeping so much better. She is really with you every step of the way. Not only does she help with sleep schedules, she is also so knowledgable about nutrition and helped us navigate formula choices for our baby with dairy issues. If anything, hire her before you have your little one. It will pay off in the end! read more

Kris was amazing! She helped me (a mom of four) learn new things and how to finally have a baby that sleeps well. Kris was also so great with all of our pets, even my shy and standoffish cats came running when Kris arrived. I can't recommend Kris enough and I'm so grateful we hired her when our baby arrived. read more

This is so long overdue!! I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Kris. We just finished our services with her for the second time with our second baby. She was critical in the first few months of postpartum fog. Not only does she have such an incredible base of knowledge for all things newborns - sleeping, eating, regressions, growth spurts, product recommendations, she is just a WONDERFUL human being and truly loves the families she works for like they're her own. We feel so blessed to have found her and had her guidance during such an important time in our life and our babies lives. Our two babies could not have been more different in terms of eating, sleeping and temperament and she helped us figure everything out with such grace and patience. We will forever be grateful to her and I cannot recommend her highly enough! read more

It is difficult to put into words how amazing it was to work with Kris. We made arrangements with Kris prior to our daughters birth. Two weeks after she was born we began working on the sleep shaping. While a two week old is not going to fully comprehend was is occurring, it did help her (and us) get into a routine. By 10 weeks she was sleeping in 7-8 hour night spans and by 12 weeks she was and continues to sleep ~12 hours. Throughout the process Kris was accommodating to our schedule changes and always arrived on time. While this service is not inexpensive, it is very much worth the cost and we would not hesitate to use Kris again should we have another child. We now have learned the best ways to help our daughter feel and sleep her best. read more

You're eyes aren't deceiving you, Kris has a crazy amount of awesome reviews for a reason! She's a miracle worker! Our little guy had HORRENDOUS colic for the first 8 weeks....like I'm talking he would scream for 6 DAYS (yes, days!) straight. He was only sleeping about 20 minutes at a time and had to be held the whole time. My husband and I were trading off every 3 hours during the night and sleeping on our nursery floor. Kris was recommended to me by another first time mom who told me her baby slept 6 hours straight the first night after meeting with Kris. Needless to say, I desperately wanted to try it out, but was also realistic that we probably wouldn't have as amazing of results. BUT WE DID! The first night we met with her he slept 6 hours straight (he was 7 weeks)...we were SHOCKED to say the least. The next night he slept 7 hours straight. We were finally able to sleep in our own bed! He was only getting up once or twice a night - it was glorious! Fast forward to week 11 - he slept though the night for the first time. Best part: he hasn't turned back! Last night, he slept from 6:30pm-6:30am. I cannot stress enough how much Kris saved us. Her bed time routine alone made a huge difference. She taught us, and has continued to teach us how to adjust to baby changes. I literally just got an email giving us tips to help him adjust to the upcoming time change. She has been so supportive and I'm not sure I would have survived this long without her help. She made getting him on a schedule (both daytime and night time) smooth, undaunting, and life changing. Everything she taught us took the seconding guessing and fear away. I highly highly recommend her services - she's AMAZING! read more

Kris is amazing. She came to our home and helped us create the perfect routine for our 6 month old. We were skeptical- having heard stories of "sleep training" being difficult and emotional- but within a week, my husband and I saw significant changes in our daughters sleep routine which allowed her to be a happy, joyful baby throughout the day. She has been consistently sleeping 12 hours at night for the past 3 months and taking 2 naps a day. We have even been able to travel and continue the sleep schedule with her, allowing us to actually ENJOY trips again!! Kris has been responsive and gone above and beyond for us these past months. We are so happy to have her support and would recommend her to anyone that is struggling with their child's sleep. Kris is a valuable resource and we are so grateful for her. read more

If you're laying awake reading these reviews/letters at 3am like I was...CALL KRIS! She is absolutely amazing. We were first time parents and on top of already feeling like we had no clue what we were doing our 7 week old son NEVER slept. He was so overly tired he would lay awake in his crib for hours, eyes wide open but he would never truly fall asleep for more than 20 minutes at a time. We were desperate, I got online and found Kris and our lives changed the second she came over. Not only did she stay overnight to care for my son through out the night to give me a much needed full night of sleep, but she spent hours talking with my husband and I to educate us about babies and sleep. She showed us all kinds of baby products we didn't know about that are now staples in our household. After just a week or two of implementing her suggestions and schedules, Austin started sleeping 12 hours through out the night, 7pm to 7am. Day time sleep took a little longer but within a month he was taking 1 hour + naps along with sleeping soundly through out the night. We recently took our first vacation to visit family with Austin who is now 7 months old, and our family was in absolutely awe of how he slept 12 hours all night every night even though he was away from home and in a new place. We stuck with the tricks and products Kris recommended and it worked even when we were away from home. In addition to sleep she suggested baby formula (we switched to what she suggested and our sons gas issues almost entirely disappeared along with his very frequent spitting up) as well as baby food for when he got older. It is the only baby food we use now and my son loves it! Kris continued to send us age relevant information by email without us even having to contact her as Austin got older. She has responded to all of my emails with questions within 24 hours every single time I've reached out to her. I tell people when they ask and I'll tell you now, hiring Kris was the best money we ever spent! We get compliments nearly every single day about how Smiley and happy our baby boy is and we know it is because he is getting the sleep he needs. Thank you Kris!! read more

Hush A Bye Newborns - Nanny Services Near Me

My husband and I first called Kris when our son was about 5 months old. He had the night sleep thing down pretty well but we were struggling with 30 min naps all day. Even though he was technically sleeping through the night, we were all still tired and frustrated. Kris got us on a schedule and taught us how to teach our son how to nap. We followed her advice to a T and soon had a well rested and happy baby. She continued to provide support and advice when needed, up until our son's first birthday. He's now 2 and is an awesome sleeper. We're talking 11 hours overnight plus a 2-3 hour afternoon nap. Not only did she help us with sleep, she taught us so much about babies in general. Seriously, every new parent should have access to a person like Kris since babies don't come with instruction manuals. We even had her come back when our second baby was about a month old so she could help us NOT make the same mistakes we did the first time around. read more

I have so many wonderful things to say about Kris and Hush A Bye Newborns! For some background, I was 36 weeks pregnant and our 17 month old was struggling to sleep through the night. My husband and I were exhausted and wanted a good sleeper before our second little one made his debut. We were referred to Kris, and immediately upon reaching out she set up a phone meeting with me. She then dropped everything she was doing that night to come to our house and evaluate our routine because it was the only night we'd be able to see her before my husband left for a business trip. We couldn't have appreciated her flexibility more!! It was also a Friday night when there were many other things she could have been doing! Kris came into our home and was so personable and reassuring! She told us the positives and good things we were doing in our routine and really kindly provided suggestions, structure and so much information and data to help support us in our new routine. In 2 nights, our 17 month old was sleeping from 7pm to 7am. We feel so much more rested and less anxious for bedtime!! It's been a huge relief and we couldn't recommend Kris more! We can't wait to have her back for our newest addition! Thank you Kris for giving us our sleep back!! read more

My wife and I often think about our lives in terms of "before Kris" and "after Kris." Before Kris, our (then 7 month, now 3 year old) son was sleeping only 30 mins MAX and the toll my wife's and my mental health was staggering. The night we had Kris over (for the first and only time), he slept 12 hours straight. In the end we only used a fraction of the wisdom and resources Kris offered to us but that fraction made all the difference. Not only do my wife and I appreciate being able to sleep ourselves now, but I certainly believe what Kris says about how a child's ability to sleep has a cascading effect on the rest of his or her life in terms of mental health, physical health, learning ability and so forth. TLDR: Kris was great for us and will probably be great for your family. Happy snoozing! read more

My husband and I hired Kris in October 2020 as a newborn care specialist for our sweet baby boy, Kylo. Kris was always on time, responsive, attentive and kind. I enjoyed speaking with Kris upon arrival and she was very helpful and knowledgeable. I hired Kris for 12 weeks and Kylo was sleep trained when she left. We have an older son as well that will be 3 in March. Kris also assisted in day time babysitting for both our boys, along with baths, showers, stories, and bedtime. Kris is gentle, loving and nurturing. My husband and I are thankful to have found her and would recommend her to anyone in need of a NBCS. Thank you Kris for everything! read more

I cannot sing Kris' praises enough. We were referred to Kris by family friends when our first daughter was 4 months old. I admittedly was overwhelmed with how to care for our infant. Our immediate concern was how to get her to sleep because the sleep deprivation was becoming too much for us. We didn't know what to do but we thought we would give this a try. Kris spent almost 2 hours on Zoom with us. She truly a newborn care specialist. Sleep is just part of it. We talked about the nursery set up (lighting, sound, etc.). She reviewed the benefits of sleep for growing infants and children. She reviewed a eat/play/sleep schedule that would evolve at different ages. She talked with us about how to implement everything at our comfort levels. She was then available 24/7 by text, email and call. During one night of self-soothing nervousness I texted her "Will she ever sleep?" and very quickly Kris responded with more tips and reassurance that our daughter would get to sleep. Our now almost 3 year old is an amazing sleeper, well nourished and is comforted by her schedule. As parents, we are happier. We hired Kris again as a refresher after we had our 2nd baby. We tell everyone that they need Kris. She is so wonderful. read more

Kris is AMAZING! Our son Jackson had a milk protein issue, colic and severe acid reflux. As a result, many bad habits were created in our house to get as much sleep as possible and try to keep him comfortable. Once we got the meds right and controlled the reflux we needed help teaching Jack how to soothe himself to sleep. We were also trying to figure out how to move him from the rock n play in our room to his crib .... and due to the reflux.... what elevated solutions may exist. Kris was amazing with us and Jack. We learned so much and appreciated her customized approach on what would work for Jack as opposed to just suggesting CIO. It's definitely hard work and consistency is key.... but fast forward a few short weeks and Jack actually likes his naps, doesn't wake up 35 minutes later.... and actually points to his bed to sleep. When we have guest, no one can believe it can take under 5 minutes to leave his room with him comfortable for a nap or bedtime! We also learned about many great products that made every day life easier. We highly recommend Kris and her follow-up even months later when new stages emerge makes her truly unique!!! read more

First of all, if you don't hire this woman you are CRAZY! She is AMAZING!!! Our son was 4 1/2 months old and still waking up 2 to 3 times from 6pm to 6am. My husband and I were EXHAUSTED! Not even joking, like a miracle Kris's information popped up on our neighborhood app and my husband suggested we speak with her. I was totally apprehensive at first feeling like an inadequate parent for not being able to get my own child to go to sleep. WRONG!!! So many parents go through the same thing because they have absolutely no idea how important sleep is to a baby and how to perfect this delicate art. Kris offers many services, but the one we chose was an in home consultation. She spent so much time with us giving us EXTREMELY VALUABLE information. She walked all of us through some pretty simple steps that I knew I could repeat and stick to. Ok so here is the best part .... are you ready ... OUR SON STARTED SLEEPING 11 - 12 hours WITH IN 2 NIGHTS (he woke up only a couple of times those 2 nights but learned how to soothe himself with in 10 to 15 minutes)!!!!! I can't even tell you what an amazing gift this is not only for us as parents, but also for our son!!!! The last thing that I have to put in this review is that when you hire her, make sure you keep an open mind and follow her suggestions. It's hard to let go of the current control but she is the expert!!! And she will take really WONDERFUL care if you and your Little One!!!! read more

Kris came over to help us with our one month old, and gave us the tools and confidence to master a nighttime routine and set goals for her sleep training. Kris is extremely knowledgeable in everything newborn and was able to recommend safe and healthy techniques and products. Highly recommend! read more

Kris was great! She helped us with our almost 8 month old that had been dealing with reflux, nursing/eating, and sleeping issues. We decided to try everything she suggested and within a few days our daughter was sleeping more than she ever had in her life and started eating much better! We would suggest Kris to anyone who is having a baby! read more

Kris is amazing. She really worked wonders with our son and taught me and my wife a great deal of important info we had no idea about, regarding babies. It took us a few weeks but our son went from waking every 2 hours all night, not eating enough at meals and sleeping in a rock and play; to now sleeping mostly through the night flat on his back in his crib. He is also eating full bottles and taking good naps. My wife and I could of never dreamed how much he has changed and it's through the guidance of Kris that he has. Worth every penny. Thank you. read more

Kris was an absolute lifesaver when my husband and I had our first baby. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable - and was great with our son. She got our son to sleep through the night by ~10 weeks (and he literally hasn't woken up once in the night since - he is now 6 months). But Kris also taught us so much more than just sleeping - from feeding, burping, nap schedule, bathtime, to helping us navigate the millions of baby products by providing lists of good/natural products that we actually needed. She provided so much guidance and reassurance during those first 10 weeks, enabling us to be relaxed confident parents, which I truly believe positively impacts your baby. Thank you Kris! I would recommend her to anybody and will definitely be using her again for our other children. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Kris! If you're reading this review you are probably like we were - at our wits end, completely sleep deprived, and seemingly helpless. Our second daughter just would not sleep! After one particularly desperate night of waking up every 45 minutes at 10 weeks I reached out to Kris. Two days later she was at our house observing us and teaching us "the way". I was hopeful but somewhat skeptical, but I committed to do exactly what she said. Three days later we were waking up 2 times at night instead of 9....a few days later we were waking up once...and we have had two nights of completely sleeping through the night. IM NOT KIDDING! I know it sounds too good to be true based on where we were before we hired her, but if you follow and trust in her advice it will work. At least it did for us. We were about to drop three times the cost of hiring her on a Snoo bassinet. I say this because she is worth every penny. She's responsive to all of our questions and provides support up until our daughter's first birthday. Cannot recommend her enough! Do yourself a favor and just hire her already so you can get some much needed sleep. read more

Kris knows babies. I have had the pleasure of meeting Kris when our first daughter was about 4 months. She was having sleeping issues and finally we threw in the towel and hired Kris. She saved us, she gave us all the tricks to get on track to a normal sleeping pattern. We have used her for our other 2 girls but this time starting as newborns. Like clockwork, the other two girls were sleeping all night by 3 months. Sleep is so important for a babies development and health the service Kris gave us was invaluable. Another point worth mentioning is that Kris was always on time and she is completely committed to helping your baby. read more

Kris is the best. When we had our first son, we were desperate after five sleepless weeks, and Kris came to our house and changed our whole routine. She was intentional in educating us on how and why we could approach sleep differently. Within a few weeks, he was sleeping through the night, and Kris was always helpful with time changes and age changes into new stages of growth. When we had our second daughter, and she was a preemie, Kris was wonderful in helping us understand how to help her along as well. She has amazing insights and resources regarding food and routine and organic and natural help in any scenario! She is a true gem, and I recommended her to many friends, who have used her as well. Thanks, Kris! read more

From the minute my daughter was born, I was on a mission to get her to sleep well both during the day and through the night. I read every book on sleep, and implemented everything I read. But after 3 and half months of trying on my own, my daughter was still not sleeping through the night so I called Kris. Kris was a god-send! She helped us make the little tweaks necessary, and our daughter was sleeping through the night in a matter of weeks! Not only that, but Kris has been there ever since, patiently answering questions whenever I amt nervous about how her sleep will be affected by travel, changes in schedule as she ages, what to do on days that she gets her shots, etc. We absolutely love Kris! read more
