My first web developer got headhunted by TigerSpike in Silicon Valley – Nurture Parenting Shop

My first web developer got headhunted by Silicon Valley!

May has been a month of hellos and goodbyes. I find the ebb and flow of life very interesting. May has been a very busy month choc full of baby whispering, training new staff, publishing a book (yes I've published a parenting book!!! Watch this space for more details to follow. It's been like a complicated pregnancy and nearly as long but I've delivered!).

I said goodbye to my first web designer/developer Jeroen and his wife Julie and the gorgeous Rosalie 2 yr and 5 months as they left for a new life in San Francisco. I'm so proud and happy for them all. Jeroen has been head hunted by a Silicon Valley company. How cool is that?!! For a super geek like Jeroen it's the dream of your career.

Jeroen and Julie have really influenced the Nurture Parenting you know today. Me and Jeroen sat together on my couch 4 years ago and mapped out this parenting business. We had baby sleep, toddler behaviour, baby massage and that was our template. It was a little home office business and I never had any plans to be more than just me.

Then Julie (left) got me blogging and look at it now, nearly 400 blogs later!! Then it was setting up a Facebook page, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube. Julie is an inspiration and I have lots more gems from Julie coming your way this year.

I'm going to miss them heaps and it was a very emotional goodbye. On their last day in OZ Rosalie had her afternoon nap in my bed. Lovely happy memories. Rosalie is on a lot of my YouTube videos, Facebook and Blog. She is a truly amazing little girl and her favourite thing to play with are dinosaurs.

Here are a few YouTube video's with Rosalie. She's helped teach parents how to manage wind and gas in their new baby and how to teach your baby to crawl. I'm going to miss having her around. They lived 2 doors down and I used to see them most days. I'm closely following their new life in San Fran. I'm sure I can talk Julie into writing a blog about parenting San Fran style. Watch this space ;-)

And here is Rosalie now in San Fran on a tram and having fun in their new home country.

Thank you for everything Jeroen, Julie & Rosalie. I'll be over to see you hopefully very soon XX

Karen really understand Toddler Behaviour

I have been going to Karen since my daughter was 7 weeks old. Even through her toddler years, Karen has been spot on and has helped immensely with toddler behaviour related questions. Karen guided me through potty training issues and how to best navigate them based on my strong willed child.

Nurture Parenting - knowledgeable, supportive and gentle

Karen was understanding, kind and supportive with clear strategies to help improve our toddlers sleep. She explained what was happening and gave us a plan to follow. This is the second child we have used Karen’s methods with and I would recommend Nurture Parenting to any parents wanting to better understand their babies sleep and gently help them to self soothe and sleep better.

After buying Karen’s newborn program and successfully using it on baby 2, i decided to start even earlier with baby 3. I got a little confused on certain things since she’s preemie but Karen helped me go back to my core and center, listened attentively and answered all my questions. She also went beyond that and shared new ideas with me. It was ace. I might book another in a few weeks if needed. For now baby is doing everything by the book

Advice and videos are so clear and succinct

I just wanted to write and say thank you. We started your program almost three weeks ago, and it has dramatically changed our babies sleep for the better. Toby (10 months) went from waking 6+ times each night. We fumbled during each wake, as we offered dummies, bottles, whatever we thought would stop the crying for a moment. The only thing that we achieved, was waking him up even more and frustrating the **** out of him!

The first night of magic presence took 40 minutes, and now he is down within minutes once he is placed in the cot. We have had a few sleep throughs as well.

Your advice and videos are so clear and succinct. We found them so easy to follow. To compare, we looked back on a sleep consultant plan that we paid $300+ for with our firstborn and were stunned at how complicated and convoluted the plan was. No wonder it didn't work!!

I was so nervous about going back to work being so sleep deprived, and I was also concerned about how Toby would cope with the transition to day care. However, I now feel a lot more confident (and well rested!).

All the best and thank you again.

I'd pay 10 X what I did for this sleep program

never wanted to sleep train, I didn’t think I could personally tolerate listening to my baby cry endlessly. It surprised me how quickly my 7mo picked this up. Night one we removed the dummy and overnight feed cold turkey. We’re on night 11 and bub has been sleeping through almost every night since night 2 (we’re still battling early wakings every now and then). Day naps have also improved remarkably! I’ve also got one of the mums in my mother’s group onto this who is having huge success with her 8mo boy who she fed to sleep previously!

As my title says, I would pay 10x the amount for this program knowing how well it worked! Listening to the crying whilst in the room with bub was hard, but I know my presence was reassurance for her and it is the only reason I went with the program!!

Thanks so much Karen for this program, it’s working beautifully for us and I know it’s setting us up for long term success! I will recommend to anyone who will listen 😂
