Karen has her degree in Early Childhood Education and has been working with children in various settings for over 20 years. Six years ago Karen launched her first business as an in-home daycare provider. A year and a half ago she became a certified pediatric sleep consultant through Center for Pediatric Sleep Management and launched her second business Winter Slumber. Her daughter's last day of 4K will be her last day as a daycare provider and she will move into full time sleep consulting!
Karen has found her true passion in helping 2-7 year olds learn to confidently sleep in their own beds all night long while maintaining a strong connection to their parents. She does this using her Prepare, Connect, Plan, and Expect framework. The result? A happy, healthy, well-rested family!
She is now expanding her business by sharing her knowledge with other sleep consultants via her Confident Consulting classes.
