Exhausted by broken nights, bedtime battles and constant overwhelm?
You’re not imagining it — this is really hard.
You’re dreading bedtime.
Nights feel endless.
And nothing you try seems to stick.
And it’s starting to affect everything — your evenings, your patience, even how you feel about yourself as a parent.
You’re not failing. You just need the right support.
I help overwhelmed parents improve their child’s sleep and behaviour — with calm, realistic support that actually works. Especially if your child is strong-willed, sensitive, or seems to need more from you than other children.

Our sleep consultants and parent coaches don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. We create evidence-based, customised plans that work for your unique situation.
It’s not just sleep—or just behaviour
Sleep and behaviour are deeply connected. When children are overtired, overwhelmed, or dysregulated, it shows up in both their sleep and their behaviour.
That’s why I don’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions. I look at the whole child—and the whole family—so we can create lasting change, not just short-term fixes.

Founder
Dee Booth
Working as a nanny for 10 years and then having my children gave me the knowledge I needed to start creating the methods we use as Sleep Fairies.
Dee Booth, Founder of Sleep Fairy & Parent Rescue
“Because our consultations are usually in your home and last 3 to 4 hours, we really will find the best solution for your family.
You won’t have to leave your little one to cry because we know that babies sleep better, are happier and have far fewer tantrums when they feel secure and are connected to their parents with a strong bond.”
Our Service Areas
