Hello,
I'm Samantha Buhrs.
A Mother, A Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant and A Newborn Care Specialist
Based in beautiful Santa Barbara, California, where I live with my husband and our sweet daughter. My journey started in the Netherlands and eventually led me to the U.S., where I earned my degree in Criminology & Justice Studies from California State University Northridge.
I became a mom during my senior year of college—and while I was prepared for the love and joy a baby brings, nothing quite prepared me for the sleep deprivation. My daughter was waking up every hour, and despite trying every tip and trick the internet had to offer, nothing worked. I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and just craving a full night of sleep.
Why I Do This Work
Everything changed when a friend recommended hiring a pediatric sleep consultant. Within days of working with one, my daughter was sleeping through the night. Naps became predictable. Bedtime became peaceful. I had energy again. Time for myself. Time with my husband. Most importantly, my daughter was thriving—happier, more rested, and more alert.
That experience transformed my life and sparked a new calling. I realized: every parent deserves this kind of support.
That’s why I created Hello Little Sleeper. I’m here to walk with you through the challenges of sleep, offer compassionate guidance, and help your family find the rest you deserve.
Let’s give you the tools, clarity, and confidence to make sleep a reality—not just a dream.
I bring both professional training and lived experience as a mom, so you can feel supported, seen, and confident every step of the way.
