Helping families navigate behavioural challenges and complex child development so that home, school and therapeutic support work together in everyday life.

Many families today are working hard to support children who are struggling emotionally, behaviourally or developmentally. Parents often receive excellent guidance from therapists and schools, but translating those recommendations into everyday life at home can feel overwhelming.

Jennifer works directly with families to bridge that gap. Drawing on more than 26 years of experience supporting families around the world, she helps parents understand their child’s needs and build practical routines, communication systems and family environments where children can thrive.

Who is Jennifer Costigan?

With more than 26 years of experience working closely with families around the world, Jennifer is a family systems consultant who helps parents navigate the complexities of raising children in today’s fast-changing world.

Her work focuses on supporting families whose children are experiencing behavioural, emotional or developmental challenges, helping parents create home environments where children can thrive socially, emotionally and academically.

Jennifer’s career has taken her inside family homes across multiple countries and cultures. Beginning as a trained maternity nurse, nanny and governess, she developed a deep, practical understanding of family life and child development from the earliest years through adolescence. This unusually hands-on background, combined with a master’s degree and decades of professional experience, gives her a rare ability to understand the real dynamics of daily family life and the pressures parents face.

Now based in Singapore for over a decade, Jennifer works with both local and internationally mobile families, many of whom are navigating complex developmental profiles, behavioural challenges, or the demands of highly competitive school environments.

A central part of Jennifer’s work involves helping families bridge the gap between professional recommendations and everyday life. She frequently collaborates with psychologists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, doctors and school teams, supporting parents in translating therapeutic strategies into routines and communication patterns that work within the home.

Jennifer has particular experience supporting children who are neurodivergent, including those with ADHD, autism and twice-exceptional learning profiles, as well as families navigating emotional regulation challenges, school transitions and major family changes.

Her approach is holistic and practical. She works with parents to understand the full system around their child, often beginning with the foundations of family life—sleep, nutrition, routines and communication—before helping parents build strategies that support both the child’s development and the wellbeing of the whole family.

Jennifer is known for her calm, thoughtful approach and her ability to bring clarity to complex situations. By helping parents step back, understand their child’s needs and implement realistic strategies at home, she supports families in creating lasting, positive change.

Proxy Parenting is when a professional caregiver takes on a parent's duties while the actual parents are away, ensuring children's needs are met through comprehensive, 24-hour care.

A Maternity Nurse provides direct care for a newborn and support for new parents after they leave the hospital, offering guidance on feeding (breast or bottle), establishing routines, changing and bathing the baby, laundry and sterilising bottles. They are experienced professionals hired to support families during the physically and mentally demanding postpartum period, with the goal of teaching parents how to care for their baby and boosting their confidence.
