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?

Drop a 💪 if you’re going to try this tonight

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 🩷

Are you losing 7-10 hours a week due to bedtime battles?

For years, my husband and I would fall asleep in our kids’ beds from bedtime battles.

We’d wake up at 10pm, groggy and frustrated, our evening completely gone. Then we’d stay up until midnight trying to “reclaim” our time, but really? We were just more exhausted.

The cost wasn’t just 2 hours at bedtime. It was our:
✨ sleep quality
✨ our relationship
✨ being organised for the next day
✨ our energy the next day

It was a vicious cycle we couldn’t break.

Until we built a solid, consistent bedtime routine that actually worked - no matter who was doing it.

Bedtime started to take 30 minutes. With content children.
Our evenings were ours again. And we were not exhausted anymore.

If this sounds familiar, I can help. I work with busy families to create bedtime routines with less meltdowns, less stalling, and more consistency - whether it’s you, your partner, the nanny, or grandma doing bedtime.

DM me “BEDTIME” and let’s get your time back ⏰

Happy new year guys 🎉

A massive thank you to everyone who follows my page 🫶

I have had an amazing year with my little business, I am so proud of all the families I have worked with and I’m sending you all so much love for 2026.

My coaching business is going in a slightly new direction in the new year which I’m so excited about. 🤩
I look forward to connecting and supporting lots more families who crave more sleep and less tantrums 🫣

I have been here many times, you’re babysitting and the child in your care wakes up crying for mum, what do you do?

I’ve even been in this situation when I have arrived at the house to babysit, the children have never met me before and they are all in bed asleep. The parents reassure me the children never wake up 🤔 but guess what, they do! What do you do?

Read the tips above 👆

If you would like to learn more, get in touch 📞

I offer a free 15- minute call, we can chat and see if we are a good match to work together (ps. I don’t take on every person I chat with).

I am also offering a reduced “founders rate” to 5 nannies. If that is you send me a DM ###x

I loved working with this client, she is a live in nanny who does bedtime 3 nights a week.

At the end of the day the children she cares for are tired and wanted Mum or Dad to bedtime not the nanny.

She was struggling with bedtime battles with all 3 children, two children shared a room and the older child has their own room. She struggled with where to start…and it always ended in chaos!

Together we came up with a plan that suited all the temperaments of the children, we worked on daytime boundaries, emotions, and attachment. We gave the children responsibilities and “power”. We created a solid bedtime routine. This all helped to create a calmer, smoother bedtime for everyone.

Mum and Dad were onboard with the positive changes and have implemented the strategies themselves 🙌

Win, win for everyone 🤩

Supporting nannies is a new support package I am now offering, because it’s new I’m offering to support 5 nannies on a reduced “founders rate”.

Dm or comment “Me” to be one of the lucky 5 nannies to work with me with a founders reduced rate.

If you are a nanny or have a nanny STOP and listen 👂

My business has evolved a lot over the past two years, I have worked with a lot of busy families who have nannies and additional caregivers.

I’m so excited to announce 📣 In 2026 I will be supporting nannies as well as parents.

As a former nanny of 8 years, I understand the struggles you have with behaviour and sleep when it comes to the little ones you care for. It can actually be harder at times than the parent’s job!

✨They want Mummy not you!
✨They don’t want you to do bedtime
✨Bedtime battles
✨Stalling bedtime
✨Frequent night waking
✨Nightmares/night terrors
✨Tantrums and meltdowns

My new nanny packages are designed for you as an additional carer. We look into the family dynamics and where you fit into it, your role, the science behind behaviour and sleep and the most important part ATTACHMENT 🫶 I give you proven strategies that work.

During the month of January I am offering 5 “Nanny Founder” packages at a reduced rate.

Send me a DM, and we can discuss all of the above.

I also offer a free 15 minute discovery call 📞 let’s see if we are a good match to work together.

Nannying is a rewarding but tough job, imagine knowing sleep and behaviour strategies to make it 100 times easier 😃

✨Nannying can be a very lonely job if you are travelling with the family over the Christmas holidays.

✨The first family I worked for (I lived in with this position in London) travelled a lot. I had only been with them for 2 months and we were off to LA and Mexico for Christmas and New Year. It was my first Christmas away from all my family and friends. It was amazing but an emotional experience.

✨What really helped me was a mixture of a lot of things, read the post ☝️

✨If you have a nanny, these little tips will definitely help your nanny and your family.

✨If you are a nanny, have a chat before you travel, find out exactly what is expected of you over the holidays.

✨I loved nannying, it is an amazing rewarding job, but tough at times, especially when travelling and over the holidays.

✨If you need help with bringing consistency over multiple caregivers with sleep and behaviour get in touch.

✨If you are a nanny who would like some sleep and behaviour strategies get in touch.

✨Merry Christmas 🎅

Hugs Emma 🎄🎄🎄🎄
