Alignment first, consistency second

There’s no point being consistent on different things, if everyone caring for your children are not aligned and not being consistent on the SAME things, it’s just confusing!

My “Caregivers Alignment Package” is a personalised plan for your family and everyone who helps care for your children.

Your nanny, au pair, family member gets a one to one consultation with me too, they are an important part of your family.

I have seen excellent results with this package, it really can bring harmony in your household and reduce the parent guilt for busy working mums and dads and happier well rested little ones 🫶

Working parents tell me this all the time 👇

“My child was perfect all day… and then I walk in and everything explodes.”

If this is you, I want you to know:
✨ This behaviour is about safety, not failure.
✨ You are not less capable than your nanny, au pair or grandparents.
✨ You’re seeing the emotional release — not the whole child.

Understanding why this happens is the first step to calmer evenings and far less guilt.

Save this for the hard evenings 💛

DM me ALIGN if you want support with this in your family.

A did poll today: asking about mum guilt

As you can see you are not alone Mama’s, we all carry mum guilt in one way or another.

I still carry a lot of guilt about leaving my boys crying in summer school - because I had to work.
Not spending more time with them on their first day of school - because I had to work.
Wanting more me time - then missing them and feeling even more guilt.

My list can go on and on.

My point is: parenting is hard and we are all human and we are not perfect, but we are all doing our best.

So, give yourselves a big pat on the back and remember you are not alone 😘

If you’re feeling overwhelmed and need some support or you would just like a chat, I offer a free 15 minute call 📞

That after-work guilt can feel crushing.

Especially when:
– your child was “great” for the nanny
– you only get the hardest part of the day
– you start wondering if you’re the problem

You’re not.

Children often save their biggest emotions for the people they trust most.

The goal isn’t to be stricter.
It’s to support the emotional handover — and make sure all caregivers are aligned.

If this resonates, you’re not alone.
DM or comment “alignment”
Let’s have a chat 📞

Consistency often isn’t the issue — alignment is.
Especially in families with multiple caregivers.

When I say alignment, I mean everyone is on the same page when it comes to caring for your child.

If this resonated, I’m opening a small number of founding client spaces to support families with sleep and behaviour in a more connected, calm way 🤍

I have 2 spots left at a reduced rate. DM me or comment “Alignment” and we can have a chat.

Consistency isn’t about being stricter.

It’s about children knowing what to expect — no matter who is in the room.

Your child needs to empty the cortisol tank before their body can produce melatonin.

✨ Cortisol is the stress hormone

✨ Melatonin is the sleep hormone

After dinner: 10-15 minutes of running, wrestling, dancing, being silly, physical touch

THEN you start winding down with dim lights and calm activities.

Most families skip this step and wonder why their child is bouncing off the walls at 8pm.

Cortisol is still high. That’s why.

Empty the tank first. THEN wind down.

Are you doing active play before bed?

Is your child bouncing off the walls at bedtime?

Did you forget to empty their cortisol (stress) tank?

After dinner have 20-15 minutes of silly active play, dancing, tickling, moving the body, laughing- this reduces cortisol.

THEN you wind down, dim the lights.

Skip this = bedtime madness, bedtime battles.

Are you doing this step in your children’s bedroom routine comment YES or NO.

Would you like to claim back 10-15 hours a week of your time?

Just wondering because I noticed you’ve been held hostage in a toddler’s bedroom since 7:30pm negotiating whether the door needs to be open “this much” or “THIS much.”

You’ve read the same book 47 times. You’ve done the water. The potty. The “one more hug.” You’ve explained why we can’t FaceTime grandma at bedtime.

You’ve laid down “just for a minute” and woken up at 10pm with a foot in your face and zero recollection of how you got there.

Your partner is downstairs living their best life (aka also passed out on the sofa).
Your evening is gone.
Your Netflix show remains unwatched.
And you’re about to stay up until 1am doomscrolling because now you CAN’T sleep.

But sure, bedtime is “fine.”

OR - hear me out - we could build you a solid bedtime routine that takes 30 minutes, works for whoever’s doing it (you, your partner, the nanny, that one brave grandparent), and gives you back your evenings, your sanity, and maybe even your marriage.

Your move.
DM me “BEDTIME” if you’re ready to stop being a bedtime hostage.

Does this sound familiar? ☝️☝️☝️

This was me and my husband every night, we once had friends staying with us, they had to come and wake us both up so we could have dinner - how embarrassing!

I can give you a solid bedtime routine that works for your family, we take into account your daytime schedule, routines, your family dynamics, other caregivers.

If you are a nanny, imagine having time to yourself if your babysitting or actually finishing work on time because the children have gone to sleep easily 🙏

Comment or dm “Bedtime” let’s chat my friends 🩷
