About me and Little Snoozers Pediatric Sleep
My name is Emma Loomis, and I'd like to share my journey with you. I have dedicated my life to working with children in various roles, including as a babysitter, nanny, coach, and preschool teacher. Over the years, I have had the privilege of being a part of their everyday lives, witnessing their milestones and accomplishments firsthand. This close involvement with children inspired me to seek ways to contribute to their development in a more impactful and enduring manner.
Throughout my career, one recurring theme stood out in my conversations with families: the crucial importance of a good night's sleep. Recognizing the impact that sleep has on both children and their parents, I began researching ways to address sleep challenges effectively. My exploration led me to the field of sleep consulting, where I discovered that the scope of sleep extends far beyond simply resting.
I enrolled in a comprehensive program that covered the fine points of pediatric sleep, including the development of circadian rhythms, sleep regressions, and sleep disorders. This program provided me with invaluable knowledge about implementation and evaluation techniques. Eager to apply what I was learning, I began working with families at the preschool, assisting them in navigating their children’s sleep challenges during difficult times.
Through these real-life applications, I witnessed the transformative power of proper sleep support. I saw firsthand the exhaustion of parents and the irritability of children, and I was driven by a deep desire to help. I understood that no family should have to endure such struggles, and this realization fueled my mission to bring rest, comfort, and joy to countless families.
I understand that each child's situation is unique, and different sleep training methods work for different children. When parents become overwhelmed and a particular technique doesn't seem to be effective, they may feel tempted to give up. It's crucial to recognize that sleep training isn't a "one method fits all" solution.
Drawing from my knowledge and experience, I will thoroughly assess your child's sleep habits, identify the underlying sleep issues, and determine the best sleep training method for their age, temperament, and sleep environment. I will provide you with a comprehensive plan and offer continuous support and guidance throughout the sleep training process. This ensures that you are responding appropriately, adhering to an age-appropriate schedule, and making any necessary adjustments along the way.
Today, as a certified pediatric sleep consultant, I am committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of families by ensuring that both children and parents achieve the restorative sleep they need. This mission is my passion and I will do everything I can to help every family I have the privilege to serve.
