Hi, my name is Kay! I am a Certified Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula with over 8 years of professional childcare experience. I am also CPR, First Aid, and AED certified and have a background in the medical field as a phlebotomy technician, allowing me to bring an added level of safety awareness, attentiveness, and professionalism to newborn care. I specialize in supporting families during the early postpartum weeks through structured routines, healthy sleep foundations, feeding support for both breast and bottle-fed babies, and calm, attentive overnight or daytime care. My approach is nurturing, dependable, and centered on helping both baby and parents feel supported, rested, and confident during the transition into parenthood. I understand how important the newborn stage is, and I pride myself on clear communication, discretion, and maintaining a peaceful, organized environment within the home. My goal is to provide compassionate, reliable support that helps families feel more at ease while adjusting to life with a new baby.

Cherry Lantern Care, your trusted partner for the fourth trimester. As an AADP-accredited Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula, I provide expert 24/7 and overnight care to ensure your baby’s safety and your peace of mind. From establishing healthy sleep and feeding rhythms to lactation support and sibling integration, my goal is to bridge the gap between hospital and home.
Our provider was always attentive to feedings, diaper changes, soothing, safe sleep practices, and her communication throughout the night gave us complete peace of mind. We especially appreciated the detailed tracking of our baby’s feeding and sleep conditioning which allowed our baby to sleep through the night. As new parents, we feel much more confident after having such an educated and thorough provider help us

This was the best investment we made for our household. We needed someone who could hit the ground running without needing handholding. She took over the evening routine, including bathing and soothing, allowing us to maintain our work schedules and personal wellbeing. Our baby is on a fantastic schedule now and we owe that entirely to her work.

K was an absolute dream to work with. She helped us establish a wonderful routine for our newborn and was incredibly communicative throughout her entire time with us. Professional, compassionate, and highly skilled, we can't recommend Cherry Lantern Care enough!
— Pete R.
The level of engagement provided is unmatched. We loved watching the way stories were read to our baby; full of emotion and heart. It's clear that this isn't just a job, but a passion for helping babies flourish and helping parents feel supported in every sense of the word
