I am a career nanny specializing in newborn and postpartum care, certified in all aspects of NCS, and deeply passionate about supporting families during the earliest weeks of a baby’s life. What sets me apart is my understanding of babies at their core I am trained in the Dunstan Baby Language, which allows me to recognize that babies are communicating from day one. By interpreting their cues accurately, I can meet their needs promptly, helping both baby and parents feel confident and supported. My approach to newborn care combines the attentiveness of a certified newborn specialist with the practicality and warmth of a nanny. I aim to make every family’s experience comfortable, organized, and nurturing not an extended hospital stay. I manage all aspects of nursery care, including restocking changing stations, organizing wardrobes and baby laundry, advising on items to purchase, knowing when to move up in diaper sizes, pacifiers, and bottle nipples, and managing baby nutrition and breastfeeding support. I am attentive to subtle cues for congestion, acid reflux, and other newborn concerns, providing guidance to parents with care and reassurance. Beyond the essentials, I make the most of babies’ small wake windows reading to them, doing tummy time, mirror play, floor play, and other developmental activities that are often overlooked in the newborn period. I believe these early interactions are critical for growth, bonding, and joy. I choose not to wear scrubs, preferring comfortable, professional attire that keeps the household feeling warm and approachable. I find that removing the medical atmosphere allows everyone especially other children in the home to feel at ease and keeps the energy light and positive. My goal is to provide a holistic, confident, and joyful approach to newborn care, helping families navigate this special time with calm, expertise, and heart.

Hola, padres! I’m Ariana, but you can call me Ari. If I’m not enjoying a Sunday siesta with my family, you’ll likely find me with Street Tacos and a Mexican Lager in hand. I founded Step by Step Baby Consulting under the belief that a restful night’s sleep and lactation support is needed and deserved by ALL families. When I found out I was pregnant with my 1st child, I was an overly-confident parent-to-be. I’d had 17 years of auntie duties, had fostered my 3-year-old niece, and was going to have my mom by my side. When I was 7 months pregnant, my mother suddenly passed away & I was hit with an immense depression. I survived by concentrating on the arrival of my son. After my son was born, I realized he was a challenging little sleeper. I compulsively read & researched all things baby sleep, but nothing helped. I endured 8 months of sleepless nights & finally hit rock bottom. It was 2 am, my son was on his 3rd wake up of the night, I went into his room, held him, & cried along his side. The next day, my Doctor recommended I hire a Pediatric Sleep Consultant to help with my PPD & PPA. I quickly hired one, and by day 3, my son was actually napping/sleeping through the night & I was finally able to bond with him! I know what it’s like to be in the parenting trenches, exasperated by sleep deprivation. When we partner together, I want you to feel comfortable enough to let your guard down and chat honestly about what’s been going on. Because here, you’ll never be judged.
