Holly Ventresco

Hi, I'm Holly! I'm a Certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, NICU Registered Nurse, Certified Newborn and Pediatric Sleep Specialist, and mom of four with over 15 years of experience caring for infants and children. I've spent my career helping families through some of the earliest stages of parenthood and have seen how deeply sleep affects a child's development and a family's well-being. When one of my own daughters struggled with sleep, I found myself searching for answers too. That experience inspired me to pursue specialized training in pediatric sleep so I could combine my clinical experience with practical, compassionate support for families.

I believe there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution for sleep. Every child is unique, which is why I take a gentle, personalized, and evidence-based approach. Rather than focusing solely on teaching independent sleep, I look at the whole picture—including your child's temperament, development, feeding, environment, medical history, sleep environment, and your family's goals—to create a plan that feels realistic, sustainable, and aligned with your parenting values.

I love working with families from the newborn stage through early childhood, whether you're navigating frequent night wakings, short naps, bedtime struggles, early morning wakings, sleep regressions, or simply looking to build healthy sleep foundations. My goal is to help your family achieve better sleep while preserving the connection and responsiveness that matter most to you, so everyone can thrive.
My philosophy

I believe better sleep doesn't have to come at the expense of connection. Together, we'll create a personalized, evidence-based plan that supports your child's unique needs while honoring your family's values and comfort level.

Case Studies

Anonymized · with permission
A 9-month-old was waking 4–6 times each night and relied on rocking and feeding to fall back asleep. After taking a whole-child approach—optimizing schedule, adjusting sleep associations, and using a gentle, responsive plan tailored to the family's comfort level—he began sleeping 6–7 hour stretches within the first week and continued making steady progress. His parents felt more confident, more rested, and appreciated having a plan that honored both their goals and their parenting values.
A newborn family wanted to establish healthy sleep habits from the beginning without using rigid schedules or sleep training. Together, we focused on age-appropriate wake windows, feeding, soothing strategies, and creating a strong sleep foundation that supported the baby's development. The parents felt more confident reading their baby's cues, naps became more predictable, and they had a realistic plan for healthy sleep as their baby grew.

Holly was WONDERFUL! She met with us after several "we can't do this anymore" nights with our 6 month old. She met with us quickly and helped us set up a plan for our baby that matched our comfort as well. NO cry it out. Just sustainable changes that can only help support our baby's development. We are still progressing, but it's been a clear difference once we learned some biological cues that Holly taught us that have changed everything. We've had 2 independent "fall asleep solo" sessions in the last week for the first time ever and we know it's because of our new confidence with our consult with Holly. Thank you Holly!!! 🦦🦦🦦

The help, support, and guidance I received from Holly was truly life changing! When I first connected with her, I was in the thick of battling many months of long endless night wakings with my 2 and 4 year old girls (who share a room). Power struggles, major separation anxiety, boundary pushing, big emotions, one sibling wanting a different sleep environment than the other… you name it and I was going through it. I felt helpless. Holly was such a sturdy leader guiding me every step of the way as we tackled each problem and concern I had. She was kind, knowledgeable, adaptable, compassionate, and felt like the most supportive friend and leader who was in my corner, there to help and cheer me on every step of the way. Having the chance to do a daily debrief with her about how the prior evening went and making a game plan together for the coming night was everything I needed for success! In moments of frustration she helped me see my successes and keep a big picture approach in mind. I really felt like Holly recognized my unique situation and struggles and helped me rebuild the confidence in myself that I had lost. I highly recommend Holly for all sleep help needs and am just so grateful to have found her!

I highly recommend Itty Bitty Snoozers to any parent who is struggling with their child's sleep. With Holly's guidance our 4 month old went from waking up 3-5 times at night to sleeping through the entire night! She took the time to get to know our family's situation, then she created a specific plan that was very gentle and age appropriate with no crying! She was so kind, professional and extremely well educated. She was so supportive and so great to talk to even when I knew I had silly questions. She reassured me and made me feel so comfortable. It is such a game changer now that everyone in our family is getting such great sleep! We can't thank Holly enough!

Holly, with Itty Bitty Snoozers did so much to help me with my youngest sleeping. She has been sleeping like an angel from about 3 months old, in her crib alone and putting herself to sleep. Out of no where on Christmas day, at 2.5 years old, this all changed, she went to bed and instantly starting screaming wanted nothing to do with it. I was on my last leg, tired and overwhelmed. Holly came into the picture honestly just as a friend, we had some other stuff we were taking about and the sleep of my little one came up. She told me she was starting her business in sleep consulting and I thought – how much more perfect could this be coming in to my life at the perfect time. Holly not only was professional giving me all kinds of tips but she also treated me like a friend, she let me just talk and vent and instead of reverting straight to the plan she provided she actually listed and made me not feel crazy. My daughter went from fighting sleep, waking hourly, and ending up in my bed, to a now sleeping through the night again. We have had our first TWO successful nights of full sleep in 3.5 weeks. Long story short, if your baby decided that being awake is more fun then getting much needed rest, and you need some additional help DO NOT feel like you are failing, contact Holly and get a plan set up because I'm telling you its worth it. We are mamas, we do everything for our babies, but sometimes we need some assistance and guidance especially when exhausted. She's so smart, kind, and professional all at the same time!

We finally decided to try a sleep consultant for our 9 mont old after struggling with sleep issues for a while. Our son had been waking at least 5 times a night since birth and always needed to nurse back to sleep. We started cosleeping at four months to stay sane, but the multiple night wakings and short 30 minute naps were becoming too much. Holly really listened and tailored a gentle sleep training plan to meet our needs. What made all the difference was the daily check-ins to discuss what went well and what to adjust. It was reassuring to understand the reasoning behind each step, and invaluable to have an expert on call when the baby inevitably threw a wrench in the plans. After one week, he slept a 7 hour stretch — the longest of his life! His naps started extending too, and we were able to wean him off nursing to sleep. Unfortunately he did experience some regressions due to teething and separation anxiety, so sleep training wasn't fully successful at the end of our two weeks with Holly. But the progress was amazing, and we're confident that with the tools Holly gave us that we'll get there soon!
