Unique & Distinguished Child Care Services
At Mindful Family Management we are committed to helping families create harmony within and outside the home.
Most people don't decide to start a family with the intention of being regularly stressed, yelling too much, not sleeping enough, etc. Unfortunately, the demands of having children and the realities of the challenges that come along with it can easily have parents feeling overwhelmed and not regularly enjoying the gifts that their children truly are. Besides having the difficulties of every day parenting, there is also the self consciousness of wondering if you are doing it right and the guilt and shame that can come with feeling like you aren't. With so much information out there from google searches to everyone having an opinion on social media, it can be impossible to feel confident that your chosen methods are the "right" ones.
Mindful Family management is determined to help families, in whatever ways we can, to get to and maintain the level of joy and excitement that all families want to experience. We are here to help you navigate the difficult parts of parenting so that you can focus on connecting with and enjoying your child(ren).
We offer a wide array of services, all customized to meet the needs and preferences of each family or situation. Whether it's working with you or giving you a break, we can help you manage your family's needs and get you back to being the parent you intended to be.
Parenting is a rewarding yet complex journey filled with joy, challenges, and the constant quest for the best methods to nurture and guide your children. At Mindful Family Management we understand that the responsibility of caring for your little ones can be overwhelming. In a world where information is abundant but not always reliable, navigating the myriad of parenting methods can be a daunting task. From sleep training and feeding schedules to educational choices and behavioral strategies, every decision feels critical. It's natural to question yourself and wonder if you're making the right choices for your child. We recognize the importance of confidence in your parenting methods and offer a range of services to empower you on this beautiful adventure..

(Reach out if you don't see what you are looking for. Our services are customizable to serve each individual child, family, or situation. Additional services can be created to meet your specific needs.)
Sleep Assistance
Sleep is extremely important for your baby's development. Without proper sleep baby can not grow and learn properly and will not be pleasant and fun to be around. (*This is also true for you!) We can help you prepare for the 4 month sleep regression and prevent it from becoming a 4 year sleep nightmare.
If you have an older child and have developed some habits and rituals that are no longer working, we can create a gentle plan for correcting these routines that doesn't require them "crying it out" or you rocking them for hours, letting them sleep in your bed, driving them around the block, etc.
Perhaps your "baby" is not a baby anymore or you need the crib for the next one. We can help you with the crib to bed transition so you can welcome your next little one without having to struggle with keeping your toddler in their room.
Whatever challenges you are facing, let's chat about it and get you back to sleeping through the night!
Toilet Learning (Potty Training)
There are so many questions when it comes to toilet learning. Is my child old enough? Are boys harder to train than girls? How much money do I spend on diapers and how much can I save by training now? How much waste does diapering create? Why is Mindful Family Management calling it Toilet Learning instead of Potty Training? Let us answer all your potty training questions and teach you how to get your child out of diapers for good. We can even do it for you!
Baby Sign Language
Children can understand and communicate well before they can speak. Imagine your child asking you politely for milk or food instead of pulling at your clothing, yelling, or whining! Besides making your life much easier, giving your child the tools they need for early communication increases autonomy and fosters confidence and self esteem.
"Sarah's approach to child care is unparalleled - she is caring, careful, methodical, organized, funny, teaches responsibility and independence while being protective. She potty-trained both of our kids, taught them sign language, inspired them to try all the food on their plates (even peas), and was always there for us. She worked with our crazy schedule and was so flexible. I learned so much about what my children were capable of when she worked with us. She takes child education seriously but is simultaneously laid back. A professional."
