4yo waking up multiple times at night

Li

After the hurricane here about a month ago and having to bring my daughter into our bed for the night (something we never do but lost power etc.). She is now waking up multiple times at night and wanting me to stay with her until she falls back asleep (anywhere from 15min to an hour). It is EXHAUSTING! I would like to avoid melatonin but at this point I feel I’ve exhausted my options. It’s gone from waking 1-2x to waking up every 1-2 hours. Any ideas?
