Who Are We

Honestly… what I do at Sishh Little Baby is help moms finally breathe again.

You know that stage—when you’re exhausted, running on fumes, second-guessing everything, and your baby just won’t sleep the way you hoped? I step in right there. I walk alongside moms, especially when they’re preparing to go back to work or already juggling it all, and help them gently build healthy sleep routines that actually work for their baby and their life.

Because I’ve seen it… the tears, the overwhelm, the “why isn’t this working?” moments. And I also know what it feels like to be a mom trying to hold everything together.

So I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all sleep advice. I believe in real support, personalized plans, and meeting moms exactly where they are—without judgment.

At the end of the day, it’s not just about getting babies to sleep through the night…
It’s about helping moms feel confident again, rested again, and like themselves again.

That’s what Sishh Little Baby is really about.

About Me

Hi, I’m Sistaciou—Pediatric Sleep Consultant, Certified Newborn Care Specialist
(night nurse), and most importantly, a mom of three who understands how exhausting the early days of parenthood can be.

For more than 10 years, I worked closely with families as a night nurse, supporting parents through the most delicate stage of life—the postpartum period. Night after night, I witnessed the same pattern: exhausted parents trying their best while running on almost no sleep.

I saw the fatigue in their eyes.

I heard the tears during late-night conversations.

And I watched how deeply sleep deprivation affected not just the baby but the entire family.

What I also saw, over and over again, was something incredibly powerful:

When sleep improved, everything changed.

Parents felt calmer and more confident.

Kids became more settled and content.

Homes felt peaceful again. And parents enjoy the experience more as they are not sleep-deprived.

 

Those experiences opened my eyes to something many families aren’t told enough about: that sleep is not a luxury postpartum – it is essential for healing, emotional well-being, and family connection.

That realization is what led me to expand my work and become a pediatric sleep consultant.

Today, I specialize in helping families create healthy, sustainable sleep habits for their children – while also protecting parents’ well-being

Helping families reach that place is why I started Sishh Little Baby – a space where parents can find guidance, reassurance, and real solutions for sleep during parenthood. 

You don’t have to navigate sleepless nights alone. With the right support and the right plan, getting a full night’s sleep is possible. And I would be honored to help you get there.

Testimonials

See What Our Client Say

Sistaciou is one of a kind! Not only is she an amazing person, but she has years of experience and knowledge to share. She was with us from the start and it made all the difference in our little one's development. Sistaciou built sleep habits that carried through all the stages, from newborn to our now 6 month old. Hadley is able to put herself to sleep for every nap! Sistaciou also helped institute a bedtime routine once Hadley was at that stage, and our little lady goes down at night no problem. She set Haldey and us up to succeed in the sleep category and we feel confident going forward, and know she is only a text/call away for any questions. Not only is Sistaciou certified in sleep training which is important as a first time Mum, but she was a true support through the first 5 months. She helped two new parents with a lot of firsts and made us laugh and relax along the way. She went above and beyond, becoming part of our family, which included our 2 dogs who waited by the door every evening for her arrival. I can't say enough how confident she made me feel as a Mum and I am grateful to her for it!

Ainsley

For anyone looking for a night nurse, Sistaciou is the best! She joined us with our second baby from day 1, helping us get some much needed sleep to keep up with our toddler. She quickly set great habits with our newborn — sleeping long stretches in the bassinet, getting her back to sleep after a feed and setting up a solid daytime and nighttime routine. She is incredibly kind, supportive, and experienced with newborn care. We were immediately comfortable with her and appreciated all of her suggestions and advice. Our toddler looked forward to her arrival each night and she treated both of our kids like her own. Our transition from 1-2 kids was 100% made easier by Sistaciou, and she helped us through the newborn trenches with a lot of smiles, positivity, and kind words. She will be dearly missed in our family!

If I could write a novel about how special and loving this woman and her services are, I would. It's hard to know when you hire someone for the first time to take care of your newborn what you'll ultimately get. Not only did Sistaciou EXPERTLY take care of my baby, but she took care of me too. I had a tough time with my first, so with my second I was determined to do things differently. Sissy (as I ended up calling her), was instrumental in ensuring my postpartum experience was nurturing, FUN, and beautiful. I will never ever be able to express how much she means to me. THANK YOU, Sissy!! Anyone lucky enough to have her in their corner hit the jackpot. Highly and forever recommend.

Sistaciou is the BEST!! I was introduced to her by my nanny, who worked with her previously with a different family. Out of the goodness of her heart, Sistaciou helped me come up with a sleep plan for my son. She was willing to talk to me on the phone or over text and coached me through those tough early few months. She is so patient and kind, as well as knowledgeable!
