Hello families,

My Journey
A Turning Point
An Evolution
Your Partner in Parenting
I'm Vanessa Simpson, and I'm fortunate to have spent over the last 15 years caring for little ones and supporting families. Thank you for considering Bay & Beyond Sleepy Time Solutions to support your family during this transformative time. Whether you're navigating the early days of parenthood or seeking solutions for better sleep, my mission is to provide compassionate, tailored care to help your family thrive and achieve the rest, balance, and confidence to guide you through your parenting journey.
Growing up, I was always drawn to caring for little ones. As a teenager, I took child development classes in high school, ran a mini preschool, and discovered the joys of early childhood education. This experience sparked a career spanning daycare, preschool teaching, and nannying – each role enriching my understanding of children's needs and my passion for supporting families and child development.
While working as a nanny, I witnessed the transformative power of sleep consulting firsthand. I've always been interested in helping children sleep better, and after witnessing a consultation firsthand, I was inspired to pursue certification as a sleep consultant and establish Bay & Beyond Sleepy Time Solutions. Today, I'm proud to offer expert guidance and compassionate support to families navigating the complexities of sleep and parenthood.
After dedicating myself to sleep consulting for about a year, I found myself missing the hands-on connection with little ones that I had grown to love. I've always been drawn to caring for babies. This led me to pursue postpartum doula certification, allowing me to provide compassionate, in-person support to families during the tender postpartum period. By combining sleep consulting and postpartum doula care, I can now offer a more comprehensive approach to supporting families during their most vulnerable and transformative moments.
At Bay & Beyond Sleepy Time Solutions, I'm committed to delivering personalized, family-focused care that addresses your unique needs and concerns. Whether you're seeking expert sleep guidance or compassionate postpartum support, I'm here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

I am so glad we found Vanessa! This was our first time hiring a night doula, and we were initially anxious, but Vanessa made the entire experience seamless and reassuring. Thanks to her, I was able to get enough rest after delivery, which was invaluable during my recovery. Vanessa is incredibly knowledgeable about newborn care and brought materials to educate us on sleep shaping, drawing from her expertise as a sleep consultant.

“Vanessa helped us immensely, using her expertise and support to empower us to tackle our 4-year-old's
sleep challenges with confidence. We transformed bedtime into something we all enjoyed, and by the
fourth night, he was sleeping for 11 hours straight. Do yourself and your child a favor and hire her now!
You will not regret it.”
-Allison
“She has a way of making everything fun for him, and she even gives us great tips on how to handle difficult situations when we ask. She is super respectful of our wishes. She is very experienced both in time and in early childhood education. We really just can't rave about her enough. She is a must-hire, hands down!”
