Get started

Tell her about your baby.

A minute, no commitment. Jennifer doesn't use email, so your note goes to her team and she calls you back, usually within a day.

How it works

It starts with a short conversation.

1

You reach out

Ideally before the baby arrives. Send her a note above or call. Tell her your due date and what your nights look like. She'll listen. That's how every one of her families started.

2

She comes to you

She meets your family at home, sees the nursery, checks the doors and windows (she takes your alarm seriously), and lays out the plan in plain terms.

3

Night after night

From the day you leave the hospital, 8:30 to 6:30, seven nights a week, for about four months. No rocking, no walking the halls, no sleeping on her chest. A baby who learns to sleep, and parents who learn to keep it that way.

Earlier is better. Many families start the day they come home from the hospital, but she has taken babies who were already several weeks old. If your nights are hard now, call and ask.

Plain pricing

$20 an hour.
$25 for twins.

Ten hours a night, 8:30 pm to 6:30 am, so about $200 a night for one baby and $250 for twins. Seven nights a week until the job is done, about four months for most families. No packages, no subscriptions. You pay for the hours she works.

Ask her to talk it through. She'll be straight with you about what your family needs.

"Why are you so reasonable?"

Families ask her that. Night nurses around here charge $35 to $65 an hour, and at those rates most people can only afford three weeks. Three weeks doesn't sleep-train a baby. Her price is set so you can afford to finish. When she leaves, the job is complete.

About her

Old school, and proud of it.

Jennifer has been doing this for 36 years. No app, no email, no texting. Just a phone that rings, a practice built entirely on word of mouth, and a record no one argues with: every baby she has trained sleeps through the night.

She doesn't just handle the nights. She teaches you how to bathe the baby, how to hear the difference between cries, how to hold a schedule that still works when the baby is two. Her families plan dinner around bedtime for years, and thank her for it.

From her families

"Working with Jennifer truly changed our lives. She got our baby sleeping through the night, but what makes her so special goes far beyond sleep. She was there for us every step of the way with so much patience, care, and genuine love for our family. She has become so much more than a sleep trainer — she feels like part of our family now. We are incredibly grateful for her and truly can't recommend her enough."

Harris FanaroffPotomac dad

"Jennifer (aka “special grandma” as we call her) was such a blessing for our family! When we welcomed our second child, Jennifer was a godsend in helping our baby (and the rest of us) sleep. From the early newborn days to teaching our baby the skills to sleep through the night, I will be forever grateful for Jennifer's care and dedication. And her methods really work! Our baby is now a happy, independent, 7 pm-7 am sleeper — and we still follow Jennifer's bedtime routine every night. We could not recommend Jennifer more highly!"

Questions

The short answers

How do I reach her?

Send a note with the short form and she'll call you, or call her directly at (240) 475-0389. Calls only, she doesn't see texts. If she's with a family overnight, leave a message.

Where does she work?

In your home, overnight. Potomac, Bethesda, and the greater DMV area.

How old should the baby be?

Many families start the day they bring the baby home, so reach out while you're still expecting if you can. She has also worked with older babies and children. Call her and ask, and she'll tell you straight whether she can help.

How long does it take?

About four months. She stays until your baby is reliably sleeping through the night, and leaves you knowing how to keep it that way.

Can a grandparent set this up?

Yes, and they often do. Grandparents call her to arrange help for a daughter or daughter-in-law all the time. She'll meet the whole family.

What if it doesn't work?

It hasn't happened in 36 years. She stays until it does. That's what "every baby, every time" means.

Tonight could be the last hard night.
