I am a trained and insured Newborn Care Specialist, a Postpartum Doula, a Miscarriage Doula, Certified Sleep Coach, and a member of the International Nanny Association. I hold a mentorship role in the nanny community and feel passionate about celebrating and educating about our unique industry. ​I am enthusiastic about providing postpartum care for any parent in need of support- day or night.
