Thank you Tamiesha for helping us with getting our 4 month old to sleep through the night as well as breaking the habit of having to hold and rock her to sleep all the time. Tamiesha was great and accomplished her tasks within a week! She continues to provide supports even after she left us! We can't recommend her enough. Thank you so much!

We had the pleasure of working with Tamiesha when our son turned 6 weeks old. Tamiesha is absolutely amazing and in a few short days are little man went from waking up three times a night to once and actually eating more food throughout the day. She quickly spotted how to help our son have a better schedule and took the time to understand his unique needs. Note, I did not want to sleep train my baby — Tamiesha’s approach naturally promotes better night sleeping. I really appreciated that she also recommended ideas based on our parenting philosophy. She is a wealth of knowledge and has the kindest heart. When the baby was sleeping she did everything she could to help me relax and get more sleep. If you speak to her about her daughter and other clients, it is apparent that childcare is her passion. Not to mention Tamiesha is fantastic company.
If I had to sum up why I would endorse Tamiesha it would be this, she genuinely treats your child like her own. It is the little things like her texting on days off to see how my son was doing or singing to him songs to make him feel loved. Thank you Tamiesha!!!

Tamiesha is an infant care genius and sleep whisperer who knows the art and science of figuring out a baby’s nutrition, sleep schedule, and overall health. Our baby was sleeping through the night after 5 weeks! She is a patient teacher and coach to first time parents and enabled us to build good habits during the day, before bedtime, and in the nights, that have stuck with us. She is a genuine person who a cares deeply about children (and what matters most to us parents) and brought warmth, calmness, and positivity to our home. Having Tamiesha in our lives meant so much more to us than getting more sleep. She helped keep our baby healthy and thriving. She allowed us to enjoy our leaves from work and made the transition back to work so much less stressful. And she was a joy to be around. Thank you for everything, Tamiesha!

We highly recommend Tameisha who helped us sleep train our 6 month old son. Despite having a pretty good daytime routine in place, he was still waking up multiple times at night. We were exhausted. Tameisha created a night time routine for us including a "no feeding to sleep" policy, bath, story, etc. and slowly weaned him off the pacifier. The first night was hard (I cried right along with him!) but every night afterwards got a little bit better and better. Tameisha was so reassuring and calm. Her help in those early morning hours (when I would just cave and pick him up) was critical. He slept from 7:15pm to 7:15am last night. Thank you Tameisha!

Tamiesha is very knowledgeable when it comes to babies. She’s sleep trained my 3 month old in just a week, when he was used to on demand everything. She gets the job done, what else are we looking for?

A baby nurse that sleep trains? Am I dreaming? Happy to say she exists and it is a game changer! Thank you Alicia for connecting me to Tameisha. She was with us for 6 nights and successfully sleep trained our 6 month old. We were so desperate and tired and had fallen into the trap of giving my baby whatever he wanted just to get another hour of sleep (nurse, rock, co-sleep - sometimes all at the same time!). All these habits lead to him waking every 2-3 hours. Tameisha got to know his temperament on the first night and recommended an approach that I was comfortable with. She gave me guidance on feeding and daytime schedule to set us up for success in the night. There was limited crying and Tameisha helped coach my husband and I through it all. We can’t thank her enough.

Tamiesha is SIMPLY THE BEST - she forever changed our lives. As a first time Mom, I was super anxious about going back to work and sending my son to daycare without finishing our sleep training. I contacted Alicia to find a sleep trainer after a lot of research and being referred through MANY happy Moms on UES Mommas (my Mother’s Day gift to myself). She send us our Angel Tamiesha. From our first phone interview, I could tell Tamiesha knew babies. She listened to our issues and identified some quick fixes for me to try at home first before her arrival. I couldn’t believe the difference just one phone conversation had on our baby’s sleep before we even met. Tamiesha stayed with us and helped break many bad habits we formed with our original baby nurse and helped us sleep train our son GENTLY. He went from waking up to eat through the night and being held all day to self-soothing and sleeping 12 hours every night and taking naps in his crib (with a great day nap schedule)! If I had known then what I know now, I would have had Tamiesha with me as my baby nurse from day 1. Aside from being a rock star sleep trainer and baby nurse, she is an incredible mother and human being. She touched our hearts and the whole family cried when she left. Hiring Tamiesha was the best investment I have made so far as a mother - sleep is crucial for both babies and parents...This is the gift that will keep on giving!

I was very apprehensive in the beginning when wanting to hire a baby nurse/sleep trainer. I kept thinking to myself that I can do this on my own. A few weeks went by and totally sleep deprived I finally said to myself that I need help! I called Baby Guru and they sent me Tameisha - WHAT A GEM! Tameisha came and could spot all the mistakes I was doing, like rocking my baby to sleep until my arms fell off and she was able to notice that my baby had been suffering with reflux. With the help of Tameisha I was able to get out of bad habits and establish a routine for when I go back to work. I also decided after 2 months of breastfeeding (total full time job) it was time for me to give it up. I am now mentally in a better place with a great night sleep. I also have a happier baby.

Tamiesha was with our family 24/7 for two weeks once we brought home our 4th baby. All I can say is I wish I had met Tamiesha earlier and had her as my nurse with my other three children! She was an absolute pleasure to have around and has such a positive, warm and kind spirit. She loves the baby as if it were her own, and nurtures and cares for the newborn with so much love. Tamiesha was wonderful with my other children and we all miss her and talk about her. She made me feel so comfortable and confident in her care that I was able to get some much needed sleep at night and she left with my daughter settled into an incredible routine for a two-week old! I can’t sing her praises enough! She is truly a miracle worker.

Tamiesha Graham was very helpful as a night nurse our first week home from the hospital! I was just starting to breastfeed, so decided to wake up for feedings. However, she provided a wealth of knowledge and experience with latching, offering advice on ways for my milk to come in faster, and of course taught us many baby care basics as well. And it was nice to get those extra hours while she tended to the baby post-feeding. She was friendly and very warm with our baby. We would recommend her to anyone!
- Christ
I can’t write enough about Tamiesha. She came to us a little later in my son’s life to help us sleep train. She is the happiest person I’ve ever met after only getting a few hours of sleep. She is loyal, kind, personable and respects your home. She is also super gentler with how she sleep trains and it worked really well
For my son. Unfortunately we had a family emergency that had us leave the city for awhile so we had to say goodbye to Tamiesha, a few days later my son started sleeping through the night after I followed Tamiesha’s guidance - we owe it all to her! I told her she better free her calendar for my second baby!! We can’t recommend her enough.

Tamiesha was with our daughter from Week 4 to Week 6. She is wonderful! She helped our daughter go from fussing constantly through the night, to being able to sleep much more predictably. She's helped us as parents understand how to keep the progress going and work towards having our daughter be able to sleep through the night. Tamiesha is knowledgeable, very gentle with babies, warm, fun, and truly loves her work. We definitely plan to have Tamiesha back in our home in the future!

Tamiesha was our nurse for two weeks after our 2nd daughter was born. From the moment Tamiesha arrived, she put us at ease. She also was kind and warm to my other daughter. Tamiesha takes good care of herself, and her health is important, so she could be in the best shape mentally and physically to take care of a newborn. I appreciated that. Tamiesha was extraordinarily encouraging and understanding about what we go through as mothers at this stage. She was comfortable making suggestions and professionally offering her recommendation, but at the same time always listened to our preferences or concerns. Most importantly, we trusted her with our newborn daughter. It is not easy to hand over your child to a stranger – especially at night – but the from the moment Tamiesha walked through our door, her confidence and knowledge put us at ease.

Tamiesha became my night nurse for a couple weeks and I can’t express how happy I am I was able to meet her and have her care for my baby. She is AMAZING!! She has such a sweet and caring nature about her and such a wonderful personality all around. When speaking with her about her daughter it showed me how much she truly cares about being a mom. Then in talking with her about the babies she cared for, I learned she truly and deeply cares for these children. I think it’s so important to have someone that does truly care about your child when they are looking after them. There are many people that can just go through the steps but having someone with a big heart like Tamiesha makes the whole experience even better and it lets you relax a little as a parent. She also started my son on a very gentle sleep schedule. I appreciated her doing it gently and in stages because he’s quite young. I believe in her approach and think it’s not only what works, but what’s right. She gave me wonderful advice to help get my son get on a schedule during the day as well. As a third time mom I’ve heard plenty of advice, read plenty of articles and books, been through it myself, but she gave me really helpful advice that I hadn’t done with my other two children that is working with my baby. I’m going to miss my evening chats with Tamiesha and laughing with her in my kitchen. I’m also going to miss being able to sleep at night soundly with no baby wake ups knowing that someone VERY special is caring for my child.I really can’t say enough good things about Tamiesha, she is just absolutely wonderful! What a great team Alicia has; she clearly knows what she’s doing and who to hire. I don’t plan on having anymore kids but if I did I would use them over and over.

Tamiesha joined our family when our son was a week old until he was 7 weeks, and we couldn't have been happier to have her help. It is tough trusting someone with your firstborn child, but with Tamiesha I always knew he was in good hands and was able to sleep comfortably knowing she would take the best care of him. She helped us put him on a schedule at night and gave me tips on how to establish a daytime routine. We are so grateful for Tamiesha's help and highly recommend her!

Tammy was an absolute honor to have as our baby nurse. She had an infectious positive energy at all times and she instantly bonded with our baby girl. She was super patient and is an absolute master of her craft. She studied our baby at every moment and developed a plan based on her observations to help meet our baby’s maximal potential in regards to sleeping, nutrition, and play. Tammy helped sleep train our baby in the most gentle way and now our baby has a predictable day schedule while sleeping 12 hours through the night. She is extremely knowledgeable and guided me through breastfeeding and transitioning to formula with a breeze. Tammy gave me invaluable little tips and tricks of caring for my daughter. I wish I could keep Tammy as a nanny as she has formed an unbreakable bond with my daughter. Any family would be lucky to have her as their newborn care specialist. She is the ultimate gift to parents and their baby and I will forever be grateful to have met her.

Tammy was amazing! She was with us for 10 weeks and she did an incredible job sleep-training our son - he was fully sleeping through the night by the time she left (7pm to 7am at two and a half months). She was also a pleasure to have around the house - she did an amazing job bonding with my two older children and we were all collectively sad when she left. Highly recommend!

I just want you to know how much I appreciate everything you’ve been doing. Having you around to help with your expertise and warm, loving energy around this house is making this experience so much less hectic and much more enjoyable. I feel so supported and rested and able to take care of my mental health in a way I haven’t been able to.
