Parenting doesnât have to feel this hard
I help exhausted parents turn chaotic days and sleepless nights into calmer routines.
If youâre tired of feeling like every day is a battle and every âtipâ online just makes you feel worse, youâre in the right place.
See How I can help your family
Mornings, evenings, and everything in between feel like a constant fight.
Maybe you recognize yourself here:
- Every routine is a struggle
- Bedtime stretches on forever and still no one is sleeping well
- Youâre dealing with hitting, biting, pushing, breaking things, or constant meltdowns
- Getting out the door feels impossible because someone wonât get dressed or into the car seat
- You and your partner arenât on the same page about whatâs âokayâ and what isnât
- Youâve tried gentle parenting, firm parenting, and every post youâve saved on Instagram, and nothing seems to stick
You love your kids.
You just donât love how your days feel right now. Â
Most of the parents I work with tell me some version of, âI donât even like being a parent right now,â or âI dread tomorrow because I know it will be more of the same.â
Youâre not a bad parent.
Youâre an under-supported parent in a very noisy, very judgmental parenting world. Â
Whatâs possible for your family
Youâre not here for more theory or more guilt. Youâre here because you want real changes in your home.
Together, we focus on:
đŽ
Peaceful, predictable nights
So your child can fall asleep and stay asleep in their own bed, and you can have a few hours to breathe, be an adult, reconnect with your partner, or just watch your favorite show without being âon call.â
đ
Calmer days and fewer meltdowns
So youâre not bracing yourself for the next explosion over the wrong color cup, getting dressed, or turning off a screen. Youâll have simple tools, clear language, and plans you can actually follow when things get big.
đ„°
A stronger, more united parenting team
So you and your partner (or co-parent) arenât arguing about consequences in front of your child or undoing each otherâs decisions. Instead, youâre presenting a united front built on trust, respect, communication, and clear expectations. Â
Underneath all of this is my core belief:
Your child is wildly capable, and so are you. You both just need the right support and a plan you can stick with.

How we can work together
Support can look different depending on what your family needs most right now. Some parents want immediate 1:1 help to get sleep on track so everyone can function again. Others need ongoing guidance because their toddler is hitting, biting, or melting down over everything, or their older childâs behavior at home or in public is getting harder to manage. Here are the two main ways we can work together.
Nanâs Village
A parenting membership for ongoing support through every season
Nanâs Village is for parents who donât want to feel alone with the challenges of parenting anymore.
Itâs for you if you want:
- Steady guidance as your child grows and their behavior changes
- Simple, respectful language to use in the moments of tension, not just big ideas to think about later
- A place where youâre not judged for struggling, youâre supported through it
- Parenting tools built on trust, respect, and communication, not fear or control
This is where you come to feel seen and heard while you create more peaceful days and nights at a pace that works for your family.
Peace In A Week

Peace In A Week is for the families who are past âlooking for tipsâ and are hanging on by a thread. You know something has to change now (and QUICKLY!)
It could be your solution if:
- You're feeling like a zombie because nights look like musical beds, endless negotiations, and non-stop wake ups
- You wake up already tense because last nightâs meltdown is still sitting in your chest and you are bracing for the next one
- Simple things like getting dressed, turning off a screen, or getting into the car seat can set off a full scale explosion
- You feel like you are walking on eggshells around your childâs big feelings and never know what will set them off
- You catch yourself hiding in the bathroom or sitting in the car after drop off, wondering why nothing you read or listen to seems to work in your house Â
When things feel this intense, you don't the solution to take weeks or months. With the right plan and focused one to one support, Kerriâs families start to feel real peace in a week.
đ Meet Kerri
(most families call me Nan)
Parents donât tend to meet me when things are going smoothly. They find me when theyâre exhausted, overwhelmed, and saying, âhelp! I donât know what else to do.â Â
Iâve been in the world of kids and families since I was 11 and started babysitting. At 14, I wrote my first âsleep planâ for a mom who couldnât figure out why her kids slept for me but not for her.
We followed the routine I wrote out and suddenly everyone was sleeping. I didnât know it then, but that was the start of what I do now. Â
đ©âđŒ Since then Iâve spent decades walking alongside families as:
- A foster parent and member of foster parent boards
- A speaker at events like Nanny Palooza
- A trainer for the International Nanny Association
- A guest on multiple parenting and caregiving podcasts Â
đ©ââïž And Iâve backed that experience with training as:
- An advanced newborn care specialist
- A certified pediatric sleep consultant
- A certified parent coach
- A certified co-parenting specialist
- And I'm the owner and lead trainer of a parent coach certification course Â

All of that matters, but what most parents tell me is this:
They feel seen. They feel heard. They donât feel judged.
My work is built on trust, respect, and communication. Iâll never ask you to shame your child or yourself.
Instead, Iâll help you hold your child to what theyâre truly capable of, with clear boundaries and a lot of compassion, so home starts to feel calmer, kinder, and more connected for everyone.
Â
Parenting has never been more overwhelming than it is right now.
You are not supposed to figure this out alone with a search bar and social media.

A story from a family like yours
âKerri is a true life saver!! We went from co-sleeping as a family of 4 out of necessity because Carson just wouldnât sleep independently anymore. I swear we tried EVERYTHING. And then I was introduced to Kerri.
1 month later and Carson sleeps like a pro. Bedtime takes 15â20 min. And he sleeps through the night. In his own bed. Plus his daytime behavior is monumentally better.
Donât get me wrong, I miss the snuggles but he would refuse to go to bed unless we BOTH were in bed with him. Which meant we either all went to bed early or he had to stay up super later until we got everything done.
Zac and I have our nights âbackâ and we are forever grateful to Kerri.
