Hi, I'm Mariana Yancik
So glad you're here!
Before becoming a sleep consultant, I worked for years as a postpartum & infant care doula, supporting families through those raw, emotional, and unforgettable early days of parenthood. I later became a certified newborn care specialist, which allowed me to deepen my education and gain even more tools to help families thrive through the newborn stage and beyond. I’ve supported families through the most tender, challenging seasons, helping them care for their babies, find their rhythm, and feel less alone.
I’ve worked with babies of all temperaments, parents of all backgrounds, and sleep struggles of all kinds. I thought I had seen it all, until I became a mom myself.
That’s when everything shifted.
Even with all my experience, those first months with my son were a whirlwind. The sleepless nights, the pressure to get it “right,” the confusion about what advice to trust, I lived it. And it was through that personal journey that I truly found my calling in pediatric sleep support. Today, I’m a certified pediatric sleep consultant and the heart behind this little sleep village. I offer respectful, responsive, one-on-one support for families navigating sleep challenges with babies and toddlers. My approach is personalized and evidence-based, but always rooted in empathy. I’ll never tell you to ignore your instincts or your child’s needs. Together, we’ll find a rhythm that feels right for your family. Sleep is so important, but so is how we get there.
I’ve had the privilege of guiding dozens of families through this tender season of life, and there is nothing more rewarding than watching exhausted parents regain confidence and finally get the rest they deserve.
For me, this isn’t just a profession. It’s personal.
As a mom myself, I know the mix of love, worry, and sheer exhaustion that comes with caring for little ones. That’s why my approach is always compassionate, personalized, and rooted in real-life experience.
I was born and raised in Brazil, and I’m fluent in both English and Portuguese. If you’re a Portuguese-speaking family, know that I can support you fully in your language and culture.
Today, I call sunny South Florida home where I live with my husband, our sweet son Noah (a frequent flyer since he was just four months old) and our goofy dog. When I’m not supporting families toward better sleep, you’ll likely find me enjoying beach days, visiting loved ones in Brazil, or spending the holidays in Kansas City with my in-laws where cheering for the Chiefs is practically a family tradition.
