Hi, I'm Misha

The Gentle Sleep Nanny

As a Certified Baby Sleep Consultant, mum of twins, and someone who has worked with babies, children, and families for more than 25 years across the Czech Republic, Holland, and the UK, supporting families has always been at the heart of what I do.

Before specialising in sleep, I spent many years working hands on with children of all ages, supporting families through the realities of everyday life with babies and young children. During that time, I saw first hand just how deeply sleep deprivation can affect both children and parents, and how overwhelming and confusing sleep advice can feel when you are exhausted.

My passion for infant and child sleep led me to train professionally as a sleep consultant five years ago, and since then I have continued to further my education through ongoing study in infant sleep science, child development, responsive parenting, and evidence based practice.

I believe sleep is incredibly important for the wellbeing of both children and parents, but I also believe families deserve support that feels safe, realistic, and emotionally supportive. My approach is always gentle, responsive, and tailored to the individual child. I do not believe in one size fits all advice or unsupported approaches. Every family is different, and that is something I deeply respect in my work.

Safe sleep, emotional wellbeing, and staying within my professional scope are incredibly important to me. I am passionate about providing families with honest, evidence based guidance that is grounded in both education and real life experience supporting children and parents every day.

My goal is not just to improve sleep, but to help families feel calmer, more confident, and supported throughout the process.

What I Do

I help exhausted parents who are struggling with broken nights, short naps, and the stress that comes with feeling constantly tired while trying to manage work, family life, and everything else that comes with parenting.

Using a gentle, evidence based approach, I help families understand their child’s sleep, recognise their cues and natural patterns, and create a personalised sleep plan that works for their child and their parenting style.

Every child is different, which is why I don’t believe in one size fits all advice. My support is always tailored, responsive, and focused on helping the whole family get more restful sleep in a way that feels safe, realistic, and achievable.

How I Do It

I only use an entirely holistic, evidence-based parenting approach to create a sleep plan that you can manage- one which takes into account the needs of the child and expectations of each family.

I support families across the UK, providing both online 1:1 consultations and, to parents in my catchment area I offer overnight sleep visits. 

I can also offer flexible packages to suit your family’s needs.
