We had the good fortune of connecting with Jennifer Shapiro-German and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jennifer, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
When I envisioned my business, I knew that I wanted to utilize my passion, strengths, and indomitable will to succeed. Combining my lifelong passion for educating, my love for newborns, babies, and toddlers, along with my entrepreneurial mindset, I knew my purpose was to share my gift with the world! In 2010, Blissful Baby Services was born.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Blissful Baby Services provides in home postpartum support to parents while assisting and educating them on all aspects of newborn care.

Jennifer’s biggest accomplishment is creating the Blissful Baby Sleep Method TM. Her proven methods are widely recognized and approved by babies and pediatricians alike. Jennifer removes the chaos and confusion of “sleep” by providing parents with the sleep strategies needed for blissful naps and nights. Jennifer has babies sleeping 12 nightly by 12 weeks. This means that you put your baby to bed once and everyone receives the restorative sleep we all need and deserve. Jennifer works with newborns – 6 years old.

Jennifer travels worldwide providing her fully customized, white glove sleep services, where the word “no” does not exist. With in 72 hours, your baby will be predictably napping and sleeping through the night,

Jennifer wants the world to know that her passion for sleep is personal to her. As a child, she had the chicken pocks along with a very high fever. This led to hallucinations and an enormous fear of going to sleep and staying asleep. This experience has left her with a tremendous amount of compassion for any baby or child that has trouble sleeping, Jennifer states, “She is the voice of the baby to ensure that every need is being met.”

In the words of Eric Thomas, if you want something as badly as you want to breathe, then you will be successful. I have found that to be incredibly true. Life is going to hit you and you’re going to want to quit or give up on your dream. Quitting was NEVER an option for me; though, I’ve been tested. 😉 Keep going! Those would be two words I would give another entrepreneur.

I want the world to know that I have a solid solution for anyone that is suffering from lack of sleep. Sleep is not a luxury it is a biological necessity. Ask for help! You’re not alone! Your baby can sleep and so can you!!

The word easy doesn’t exist. If it comes easy, then you’ve got more work to do. You’ve got more in you to serve and provide this world!!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Welcome to Miami! As a native floridian, I absolutely love where I live and will never take it for granted. Italian food is my favorite so we would have to visit Carbone on Collins Avenue. The food, cocktails, and decor create an unforgettable experience. While we’re on food, we would go to Joe’s Stone Crabs for the best seafood you have ever tasted. I love the 11th street diner for a quick lunch if you’re walking up from the beach. I feel the same way eating there today as I did 20 years ago. We would walk and shop on Ocean Drive and Lincoln Road. You’ll find the best boutiques and fashion! I’m a water girl so we would definitely be jet skiing and swimming in the ocean. We love 1 Hotel South Beach for an incredible rooftop experience filled with signature cocktails and their rooftop pool. We would hit the gym as I love lifting weights and getting my sweat on! Miami has EVERYTHING you could possibly want and more!!!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I absolutely LOVE this question! You are 120% correct that support, love, and encouragement is a vital component in our success!!

I would have to say, that my biggest mentor and greatest fan is my dad. When I got stuck, wanted to throw the towel in, or was clueless in how to navigate a situation, he taught me and guided me through anything and everything I “thought” was insurmountable.

Another Shout Out- LES BROWN! You gotta be hungry!!!!!! Love him and will never take for granted the life long lessons I have learned from that man.
