she's old enough to tell you why she doesn't want to sleep in her own bed so ask if you haven't. If it's fear, find out what will make her feel safe, if it's being alone, take her to buy a stuffed animal to be her bedtime buddy. You might also try using a t-shirt of yours that you have worn as a pillow case. She would then have your scent to comfort her in the night.
I remember staying in my daughter's room, and my husband fell asleep in her room once waiting for her to fall asleep.
I would read her several stories, have a night light in her room & more.
It all comes down to what works for you.
