Smadar Zmirin

Twin Specialist

Smadar started working with twins as a nanny to 6 months old twins when she was 21 years old. After her first twin job she immediately picked up another with 2 weeks old twins, and it was then that Smadar knew she had found her calling.
 
Over the next 15 years, Smadar continued working with twins and studied early childhood education (ECE). She read extensively about twin research studies, twin emotional development, brain development and effective and respectful parenting strategies. Smadar has developed her twin-oriented early childhood education approach with hands-on experience working with twins, and obtaining an ECE diploma (Level 5) and later Level 6 ECE. She is working with twins from newborn to 5 years of age.
 
Smadar is a certified baby and toddler sleep consultant. Having to settle numerous sets of twins to sleep on her own, she brings a comprehensive experience in settling twins to her twin-focused sleep consultancy.
 
Smadar is a certified doula, supporting new twin mothers on their journey to gain confidence and competence in their new motherhood. In her prenatal support service, Smadar helps expecting parents prepare emotionally, logistically and mentally for the arrival of their twins.
 
She has completed the RIE Foundations course (Resources for Infants Educareres). Smadar brings the RIE philosophy of childrearing into her practice, which enhances the child’s right for respect and advocates for their resourcefulness and competence. The approach complements her twin-oriented philosophy, which strives to highlight twins' individuation and their capacity to lead independent lives while still enjoying their twinship.
 
Smadar is collaborating with several multiples clubs in New Zealand, and works alongside Multiples of America.
She provides online sleep seminars for various ages, and twin toddlers masterclasses for twin parents all around the world.
She was featured on a radio show in New Zealand and a twin podcast in Texas.
Smadar is currently writing her first book about raising twins with peace and joy.
