Hi! My name is Robin and I'm a newborn nanny and trained newborn care specialist, working with first-time parents only and caring for babies 0 to 18 months. I educate parents with all aspects of newborn care such as feeding, fussiness, bathing, nursery essentials, nap training, swaddling, routines, and healthy sleep habits. In addition, I make this transitional period easier by cooking and baking for parents while baby sleeps (for a small additional fee). While working as a newborn nanny, I also teach baby sign language beginning at 5 months. I am also a certified virtual Sleep Consultant for babies ages four thru 18 months. Wherever you live, I can help! I have worked as a volunteer for 2 hospitals, supporting moms in a parenting program, and assisting nurses with newborns in a special care nursery. I'm a mom of two grown children (23 and 27), and am married to a retired firefighter.

As a health educator by degree, my desire to support & champion others flourishes every time I hear a birth story. This fascination I have for all things pregnancy, birth & postpartum that led me to become a doula stems from my own experience advocating for my birth wishes and learning to trust my intuition.
