Hello

Congratulations on taking the first step to restful nights, and thank you for considering Bay & Beyond Sleepy Time Solutions to get sleep on track for your family. My name is Vanessa Simpson. I am a certified sleep consultant and early childhood expert. I live in Newark, California, with my husband and our two little pups. In my downtime, I enjoy doing crafts, being in nature, and spending time with my loved ones.

Ever since I was a little girl, I loved playing and caring for the babies in my neighborhood and watching all the parenting shows on TV. In high school, I took child development classes, where we ran a mini preschool for part of the year. I knew I wanted to work with young children in some capacity. After high school, I started my 15+ year early childhood career journey working with children at a gym daycare in 2009. I transitioned to preschools from 2011 to 2015.

In April 2015, I began working as a nanny. They hired a sleep consultant while I worked for a short-term day and nighttime nanny position. I was present during their in-home consultation. I have always been interested in improving the quality of sleep for the children under my care, whether in a facility or their own homes, as a nanny. I would conduct my own research and try various methods and tips to determine the most effective way to ensure the children got the best possible sleep. I realized that becoming a sleep consultant would be a fulfilling career path for me. It would allow me to pursue something I am passionate about and help numerous families. Additionally, this path would allow me to establish my own business. I am grateful that I get to contribute towards improving the lives of families.

In the early stages of my career in early childhood education, I obtained a degree in Child Development and Early Childhood Education.  I completed my Certification for Pediatric Sleep Consulting from The Center of Pediatric Sleep Management. I obtained my Master Teacher Permit from the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. I received my CPR and First Aid certification from The American Red Cross. Additionally, I have been screened with the CA Trust Line screening.

I offer a family-focused, versatile approach to sleep training. Drawing on my years of experience and education, and my passion for continued learning, I will work with you to find the best pathway for your family. I believe in giving parents the control they deserve while offering tailored recommendations and lasting benefits. My aim is to provide the knowledge and tools you need to help your family reach its individual sleep goals and ensure that you feel confident as you move forward in your parenting journey. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
