I've been slow to write this because I wanted to make sure that nothing was a fluke. I'm going to start by saying, hire Desiree!!! Our story is no exaggeration. Our six month old daughter was only sleeping between 15 and 30 minute stretches throughout the night every night since she was born. I was absolutely exhausted my husband was exhausted. We had started sleeping separately to take turns staying awake with her throughout the night. To backtrack she was born with a few health issues and so I was terrified to ever lay her down and the second she would fuss I would pick her up and hold her for the rest of the night. I was part of her sleep problems, but things got so bad I had no clue how to fix it. She would not let us set her down. Once she was six months old she was finally in great health and we knew something had to be done. I was at the end of my rope. On a Saturday night I was completely exhausted and at my wits end and started searching for answers. I came across Desiree read all of the amazing reviews and filled out her contact form. It was late at night yet within three minutes of submitting that form she had texted me and said she could help us. She was at our house the next day, sat down with us and spent so much time making sure we knew how to help our daughter sleep. She helped us set up her environment, make sure that everything was correct for her to be successful at sleeping, talked about feeding, spoke about everything that we needed to do to fix it and left. I was terrified for the night because I didn't think there was any possible way that this could work. I felt like it was hopeless to be honest. We put my daughter to bed at 7o'clock and the very first night she slept all the way through the night...12 hours straight. The night before she hadn't slept more than 15 minutes at a time, waking around 20-30 times the previous night. I didn't sleep a minute because I spent the entire night anticipating her to wake up! My husband and I sat awake through the whole night watching her in disbelief that she was sleeping. I kept zooming in on the monitor checking that she was breathing because I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that she was actually just sleeping. We thought that this was probably a fluke and wouldn't happen again. Well, she has slept through the night every single night since then for the last month. Our lives were completely changed with Desiree. We are finally sleeping through the night as well although it took some adjustment for us as parents as we hadn't slept in six months. It took a while to get used to my daughter actually sleeping and not needing our attention. My husband and I said we both feel like we entered a different dimension that night. I think the only problem we have had is that I actually sometimes miss my daughter because she sleeps 12 hours straight and I don't get to hold her through that time anymore. But I'll tell you what, I'll take that problem over our previous issues!! I cannot stress this enough. Desiree is incredible. She was constantly there for us for the next couple days checking in continuously to make sure that things were going well and answering any questions we had. I'll shout it from the rooftops how amazing this has all been and how life changing Desiree has been for us. I can not recommend her enough to anyone! read more

As a hesitant parent, I was procrastinating sleep training because my twins were already 8 months old, as fraternal as they get (and subsequently, hardly in sync) with an abundance of bad habits (including pacifiers round the clock, being rocked to sleep with each nap and at bedtime, immediate parent soothing). I DREADED night time- It was a never ending ritual of using baby wraps, walking/rocking and singing... sometimes it would take hours. I'd been in survival mode since they were born and our bad habits seemed to get us through day to day so I was afraid to change anything... but little did we know, those little rituals were doing us more harm than good. I wish I had done this sooner, both for my girls' sake and my own sanity! I hired Desiree after she was HIGHLY recommended to me by a friend who claimed her son was trained by 7 weeks old sleeping 7pm-7am without interruption. I remember thinking "Yeah, but that's one baby". Hah, I was wrong! Desiree has worked with triplets several times and has been doing this a long time. Just talking with her, it shows! She is an expert in her craft. I tried the books, I read the articles, and I'd even implemented that knowledge when the girls were younger- but having someone available to text at the drop of a hat when you are feeling unsure or in need of guidance was invaluable. It's been a week in and the girls take about 10 minutes before they fall asleep independently and we often find them awake (and happy!) in their cribs when nap time is over. I no longer dread naps and bed time and I make the most of the girls' "awake time" which I feel has strengthened my relationship with them. They are HAPPIER babies which makes me a more than happier mama! So I will gladly pass on the torch to another family in need....We HIGHLY recommend Desiree and her business. It was worth every penny! read more

Twin parents !!!!! This review is for you. We have 3 month old identical twin boys who would not sleep. Ever. The best sleep we got after 3 months was about 5 hours if we were lucky, followed by constant wake ups, crying, shushing, rocking, etc. It was so brutal, and then all of a sudden we were not even getting the 5 hours, it seemed like every 20-60 minutes one was awake and crying. Naps were non existent unless they were in a swing and those were short lived. Needless to say we had reached our absolute breaking point when someone recommended Desiree. It felt like we couldn't go anywhere or do anything. I was hesitant at first to have someone come when I had already done taking cara babies and Moms on Call and read all kinds of tips on the Internet and none of it worked. Now my only thought is - WHY DIDN'T WE CALL HER SOONER !!!!!! Seriously !!!!! She came over on a Thursday, checked out our setup, gave us her plan, and before the weekend was over the boys were sleeping 11 hours !!!!!! 11. Hours. Straight. Truly life changing. And even more amazing was that naps were now, naps. In the cribs. It made us feel so confident and happy knowing we were sleeping and our boys were getting the sleep they need, in the safest place where they should be. I was nervous about hiring someone because with twins I figured it would be much more difficult for someone to help us, but Desiree has twin experience, was there for us every step of the way, responded to every text and call and question we had and gave us the support we needed to put in the work for this amazing result. Call her NOW !!! read more

Hiring Desiree was the best decision we made for our baby AND us. We got into a vicious cycle of rocking baby to sleep, picking him up or giving pacifier anytime he woke up, etc. It got to a point where we he was only taking 20 min long naps and I was feeding 'round the clock. I called Desiree and she came to our home that day when he was almost 9 weeks and walked us through the proposed plan & routine moving forward. The first few days were hard but Desiree was available by phone to give guidance & support. The goal was to give our baby the gift of SLEEP - learning how to fall asleep and go back to sleep upon waking. This is an adjustment but is important! By day 3, he slept thru the night and WE had to wake him in the morning! Sticking to Desiree's schedule is crucial and the results are incredible. No more backaches from rocking baby to sleep, no more insane witching hour, no more being on house arrest wondering when he'll wake up wanting to eat next, no more anxiety going to bed wondering when he'll start crying. Our baby is 15 weeks and has been sleeping 7pm-7am for weeks now. We realized that our baby (all babies, for that matter) are usually the rule and NOT the exception - they CAN be trained and are much happier babies when there's a schedule, they're sleeping and the parents are sleeping!! For the eventual baby #2, we hope to hire Desiree when we bring the baby home to start sleep conditioning day one and then move into sleep training sooner which will be even easier! read more

5 stars is NOT ENOUGH to rate Desiree!! Desiree has been a blessing to not just myself and my husband but most importantly to our 5 month old, Jake. I spoke with Desiree in hopes to get him to sleep 12 hours throughout the night. Prior to Desiree he was sleeping about 9 hours straight and would wake 1-2 times and was getting maybe one good 2 hour nap a day and maybe 2 more short ones when being held at times. His naps were VERY inconsistent. After speaking with Desiree on the phone and reviewing our current schedule we came up with a more structured schedule for day/night time that worked for our family. The first night Jake woke up and cried for about 27 minutes (yes, I counted every minute). It was so tough but he put himself back to sleep and slept until 7am! Jake has now slept 7pm-7am every single night since we started with Desiree. Lets not forget naps!! Jake now takes 3, 1 1/2 hour naps a day. Life is great! We are still in awe at how quick all of this worked! I would recommend Desiree to any parent (new or experienced)! My only regret is that I did not find her sooner. Desiree has given me the confidence that we may actually be able to have another baby because I was terrified and wasn't sure that I could handle the sleep deprivation again! She has never made us seem as though we are a bother and answers texts/questions promptly with detailed answers to make us feel confident! THANK YOU DESIREE!!! read more

I was up at 4AM which was an unfortunate usual for me with our newborn. I stumbled across a Reddit post about sleep training your baby. I ended up in a rabbit hole on Google looking for an infant sleep specialist. Desiree was at the top of the list of recommendations on yelp so I instantly clicked on the link to her site to learn more. Our 4 week old going into 5 weeks needed a sleep schedule and we NEEDED to drastically minimize contact sleeping. The cuddles are always the best but we had things we needed to do! Especially getting quality sleep. After filling out a contact request, Desiree reached out the next day and we had our consultation scheduled within the next few days. Her instructions were straight forward and easy to follow. There were things I didn't think I'd be able to overcome as a Mom but once we went through the experience everything changed. It's been over a week and our 6 week old is taking 1.5 - 2 hour naps during the day. He's sleeping 12 hour evenings with 1-2 feeds (dream feed & an early morning feed). He's gaining weight appropriately & he's soooo happy when he wakes up. Now we can get so much done during the day. I'll actually get to enjoy being on maternity leave while bonding with our little man. RUN don't walk if you have this need. Desiree is the truth and I am so glad I invested in her services. We can't wait to see how he does moving forward. Happy sleeping folks! read more

Reaching out to Desiree was the BEST decision ever! We called her when my son was 3 months old because he was waking every 2 hours every.single.night. We tried other popular sleep methods/programs (that actually worked for our daughter), but nothing was even slightly successful. My husband and I were so sleep deprived that it was really challenging to care for our toddler, our new baby and focus on work also. Desiree came over to our house for a consult the day after we called her and our lives have been so much better since! She made me feel very comfortable and was extremely thorough in her assessment of my baby, his sleep surroundings, and a schedule for him. She immediately made recommendations for his nursery to be more conducive to sleep. She developed a plan for him that was very easy for my son (as well as our family) to adapt to. SERIOUSLY within 4 days of this plan our son was sleeping 11-12 hours, he was happier, and he was consuming more volume with each feeding. Desiree checked in with us consistently for several days to provide support and recommendations. My son is now almost 4 months old and is thriving with the structure that Desiree helped us to develop. This schedule is 100% sustainable and I highly recommend calling her if you are even CONTEMPLATING it. My only regret was waiting until my son was 3 months old. THANK YOU DESIREE :) read more

We had our second child in November of 2019 and while we figured we knew what to expect, we found that we were having a lot more trouble than we planned with getting our new daughter to sleep at night as well as eat on a consistent basis. We knew we needed to get her on some sort of a schedule and tried hiring some "professional" help, but were disappointed in the lack of knowledge and results the first couple of people we hired provided so we were reluctant to try someone new. It was at that time that we were referred to Desiree and at around 2-weeks old we hired her and within the first 30 minutes of her in-home visit with us, she not only had our daughter sleeping without a problem, but sleeping in her own room and in her own crib. We had always thought that newborns would have to sleep in their parents room for some time, but without hesitation and total confidence, Desiree swaddled our daughter, prepared her room and put her down and ever since that day, with added advice from Desiree, we have had nothing but a perfect sleep and feeding schedule with our now 3-month old daughter. Desiree took what was and would have continued to be a difficult and stressful time in our lives and turned it into not just a manageable experience, but an enjoyable one as well. We can't thank her enough for her help and we would recommend her to anyone. read more

Before I started working with Desiree, my son was a terrible sleeper. He was up every 2-3 hours most nights, which left me too sick, tired and frustrated to enjoy the special moments with my new baby. As a new mom, I was pretty much just winging it and realized after 2 months that I needed a professional's guidance. During our first consultation, Desiree taught me so much that my brain literally hurt by the time she left. In just a few hours, we covered all things feeding/napping/sleeping-related in GREAT detail. She even told me exactly how many seconds to warm up a bottle, which playlists are great during bathtime, the best swaddles and sleep devices, and optimal sleep environment tips. At first I wasn't convinced that all this would work and that my two month old could actually sleep through the night, but I decided to trust her and after just a couple days/nights of implementing the new schedule and Desiree coaching me through it, my son was sleeping 12 straight hours a night. I'm still in disbelief over how quickly he caught on to Desiree's system - it was clear he was craving structure, and he is now THRIVING thanks to her. I am so glad I reached out to Desiree and I would highly recommend her to any mamas whose babies are struggling with sleep. :) read more

When we found out we were pregnant with twins, we had 3 other twin families recommend Desiree to us. One had used her for a consult, and the other 2 had used her as a night nanny. They all told me their kids were sleeping through the night by 12 weeks. I was a bit skeptical after watching so many people I know struggle with sleep training. I wasn't sure it would be possible but I wanted to give it a shot... Especially with having 2 babies! Desiree came over and walked us through the E.A.S.Y method. She gave us the tips and tools we would need in order to help our twins develop healthy sleep habits. What I didn't realize the consult included was constant contact with a sleep expert! That was part truly invaluable. Whenever an issue would arise throughout the process I would explain to Desiree what was going on and she would tell me what to do next. She would always tell us what they would do next and sure enough, she was ALWAYS right! It unfolded exactly how she told me it would. She really is an expert! My twins are 12 weeks, sleeping 12 hours a night. Everyone is happier for it... Especially mom ;) My husband and I agree this is the best money we've ever spent! We would recommend Desiree to anyone! read more

Desiree is worth 10 stars! At 6 months old, our son was still waking up every 1.5-2 hours at night to eat. He had absolutely no schedule during the day. Sometimes he slept for 15 minutes, sometimes 2 hours. It was extremely unpredictable and my husband and I found ourselves overtired and increasingly frustrated. I learned about Desiree after talking to another new Mom who had utilized her for sleep training. I couldn't believe when she told me her son was sleeping 12 hours a night! I immediately told my husband, but he was convinced that we could easily put our son on a schedule on our own. Many many many sleepless night later, I convinced him to give Desiree a try and he is now a firm believer, even telling all of his Dad friends how amazing her program is! Our son is now taking two 2 hour naps a day and sleeping 12 hours at night. Our days are predictable. We are getting sleep and we have significantly cut down his hours at daycare. My husband now says he feels sorry for other parents who don't know about this program because it is the ultimate game changer. If you're hesitant to call Desiree, pick up the phone and dial her number! You will never ever regret it! She completely changed our lives. read more

I did takingcarababies and it was definitely helpful, but not entirely. We had what we thought was a super colicky baby who screamed like a pterodactyl every waking moment, but turns out after sleep training he was probably just an overly tired baby. Since baby boy was still struggling and I didn't succeed in my efforts, I sought out a professional, Desiree, and she is aaaaamazing! She is based out in Arizona but does phone and FaceTime consults/calls. She is aaalways there when you need her. I've even texted her at 2,3,4 in the morning, you name it. She'll respond. Not that you should text her that early, but when I was at my wits end about to cave, I would text and she would respond within the hour helping me through some tough moments with the best course of action to stay on track. If I lived in AZ I would've paid for her in home services. She's incredible! Baby boy has been sleeping 10-12hrs straight each night since day 3 of the program! He is a much happier baby now. He used to cry every waking minute and now he only cries when he's tired! If you're even just thinking about sleep training, call Desiree! You won't regret it! read more

Desiree is amazing!! She was highly recommended by a close friend of ours. We decided to reach out when our 4 month old was not getting the sleep he needed and we weren't sure what to do. We sent Desiree an email on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend. She quickly responded and jumped on a call with my husband and I that afternoon. She came to our house the next day and our son has been sleeping 12 hours a night since then. She is extremely responsive, knowledgeable and helpful. She made us feel like we were her only clients. She stayed in constant contact with us for the first few days while we figured out his nap schedule. She even watched him on his monitor to coach us through the first few days. We knew we could trust her and we are so glad that we did. She answered all of our questions from how to handle naps while out and about to starting solids. She continues to reach out and check in on us. We are so thankful that our son is now getting the sleep he needs. We will definitely be using Desiree to help us sleep train our future children. read more

Desiree is seriously amazing! If your baby is not sleeping well, Desiree is your answer. We set up a consultation with Desiree when our sweet baby girl was 8 weeks old. She refused to sleep anywhere but our arms for naps and woke up every one to two hours at night. I was one exhausted mama. I had read all the books and just about every article online on baby sleep. I had tried just about everything and I was worried this was just how it was going to be with our daughter. It is no exaggeration to say that our consultation with Desiree was life-changing! In only a few days, we were all sleeping so much better! Our daughter is now almost 12 weeks old and loves her schedule (and her crib)! She takes three 1.5 hour naps during the day and we've even almost made it to the elusive 7p-7a! (I did not think it was possible!) Desiree is a true baby whisperer and such a delight to work with. We are forever grateful for all her support and for giving our family the "gift of sleep"! read more

Desiree helped change our life! At nearly 5 months old my son's sleep was getting worse and worse... The exhaustion was unreal and I was feeling hopeless after trying the techniques from different sleep classes, books, and friends with no improvement. We didn't know what to do but knew that what we were doing wasn't working. We emailed one evening and heard back immediately- Desiree came to our home and taught us how to tweak what we were doing and make some adjustments to our baby's schedule to improve his sleep and help us regain our sanity. Within days the improvement was drastic. In less than a week we established 12 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night. Desiree continues to be available to answer questions (What do we do when it's time to transition out of the swaddle? How do we adapt the schedule and routine for a date night and babysitter?) and checks in on us periodically. Her plan was realistic for our family and the sleep is priceless for us and baby. read more

As a first time mom who suffered from Severe Post Partum Anxiety and Depression I was DESPERATE for sleep to heal myself and bond with my baby. One morning after another night of no sleep and rocking my baby to sleep for HOURS and than him waking up right when I put him down I had reached out to Desiree. She immediately gave me a rigid schedule for my sweet boy and within 3 nights he was sleeping through! I have used her support service for the past 2 weeks and I am about to extend as she is soooo helpful even over the phone/texting. She has been a HUGE help in my own personal healing and my baby learning to self soothe/ sleep/ take naps. The schedule she has us on is very rigid and it doesn't stop me from doing my day to day actives! My only regret is not finding her sooner..... I am OBSESSED with her program and how much I understand my baby now. Will 100% use her right away on my next baby! Side note- my baby is 8 weeks old and weighs 12.5 lbs read more

Desiree was amazing to work with. She was such a warm person, so helpful, knowledgeable and there every time I needed her. My baby was waking up an hour after I put her down, then again two hours later and then starting at 1:00 am she was waking up about every hour and a half until we brought her in bed with us around 6 am. After one night of sleep training her and following everything Desiree told me to do she was able to soothe herself back to sleep on her own and by night 3 she only woke up once for 15 minutes and put herself back to sleep. She also helped with naps, which were only about 40 minutes long, and now they are an hour and a half. In a matter of 3 days so much has changed for the better and both baby and I are much happier. It was a really long couple of weeks with my baby waking up so much and I wish I would of reached out for help and contacted her sooner. I couldn't recommend her more. read more

Desiree is awesome! She came all the way out to our home in Queen Creek and helped us set up a sleep schedule for our 4 month old baby girl. Our issue was with naps, she would only take 30-40 minute naps during the day! And we never knew how many we would get. She helped us get her room as sleep-ready as we could and answered all our questions about the schedule. Honestly keeping to the schedule was really hard for me, there was lots and lots of crying from both of us but now my baby goes down for naps on her own and takes long naps! She is the most stubborn baby around so it took awhile but she's getting the hang of it :). It has been so nice to have Desiree as a coach and always there to help me when I need. She responds quickly to my millions of texts and calls and is always positive, happy, and helpful. Thank you Desiree! read more

Desiree was very professional and extremely helpful when we reached out to her in the "3-4 month sleep regression." Our little guy did not have a consistent sleep schedule before this and we were constantly jumping through hoops to get him to sleep especially at night. We he hit the regression, it got even worse. She came to our home, evaluated his room to see if it was conducive to giving him great sleep, and then put him and us on a schedule. We/he needed the structure and as soon as we followed the schedule he was so much more rested and so much happier. We as parents needed permission, education, and support to give him the gift of good sleep. We are all so much better rested and we as parents as so much more confident about giving him what he needs in the area of sleep. I would highly recommend Desiree to anyone! read more
