Sleep Training with Rose Calderone
Wed, Feb 3, 2010, 7:00 pm
Rose Calderone studied Early Childhood Education
at Hillsdale College, and graduated from Michigan State University
with a BA in Communication Arts and Education. Rose has assisted &/or
taught pre-school, Kindergarten and 5th grade. A passion for working
with children brought Rose back to Chicago in 1999 to work as a
nanny. After 3 years of working as a nanny in high demand, she
took her first night-nanny assignment and fell in love with this
work. In 2002, she started Hush-a-bye Baby as a day placementand
night-nanny agency, specializing in singletons and twins.
In the years that followed, she discovered that
she had a gift for getting singletons to sleep through the night
by 3 months, and twins by 4 months. She defines through the night
as 10-12 hours (with no bottles, pacifiers, waking or crying it
out). Rose now concentrates her energies on mentoring both nannies
and parents to sleep train babies.
In the past few years she worked with may of our
own sleep-deprived MOMs, with wonderful success. Rose has come
to know that babies need sleep for many reasons, and fortunately,
there are effective ways to help them get sleep. She also recognizes
that in order for us to be the best moms possible, we too, need
our sleep.
At this meeting we will also talk about toddler
sleep issues and have an informal “roundtable” discussion
about getting older ones to get the sleep they need.
