Balancing work and family can be tough.
As a working parent, it can feel like you’re always letting someone down. Do you skip the board meeting? Or miss your child’s school play? Do you call in because your little one’s sick? Or do you ask Grandma to pinch-hit again? Either way, you wind up feeling guilty.
You shouldn’t have to choose between professionalism and parenthood.
Enjoy a career you want— with the flexibility you need.
As a sleep or parent consultant you can:
Schedule your work when it works for you.
Run a profitable business from the comfort of your own home.
Create a meaningful life through enjoyable work.
Be both the driven professional and devoted parent you’ve always wanted to be.

Meet Violet Giannone, R.N.
Founder and Director, Institute of Pediatric Sleep and Parenting®
As a registered nurse and new mom, I often felt torn leaving the house for my shift at the hospital. I loved working with patients and making a difference, but I didn’t love the long hours that kept me from my little one.
Becoming a sleep and parent consultant has allowed me to nurture my passions, enjoy a fulfilling career, and care for my family.
Hundreds of my students have now had that same experience—and I want the same for you!
