About me

I offer highly personalized newborn and postpartum care for private and UHNW families, combining 16 years of early childhood and infant-care experience with my professional background as a Private Chef. My role is centered on caring for both mother and baby during the demanding early weeks and months—providing experienced newborn care, preparing fresh and nourishing meals, supporting feeding and sleep routines, and helping create a calm, well-run household while mum rests and recovers. Although I do not work as a doula or provide medical care, my approach includes many of the practical and nurturing elements families value during the postpartum period. I bring warmth, discretion, flexibility, and sound judgment to each engagement, adapting naturally to the needs of the family and working seamlessly within a private household. I work with families in the United States and internationally, with availability for assignments in Canada and throughout Europe, including Greece, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, and Ireland. I am currently pursuing authorization for broader EU-based work and am open to both temporary and extended international engagements.

Service introduction

I offer a highly personalized and highly discreet level of infant and postpartum care for private and UHNW families,, with 16 years of hands-on experience supporting infants through their earliest stages of development. My approach is centered on developmental milestones, healthy sleep habits, feeding schedules, age-appropriate routines, and attentive day-to-day care, while creating a calm, nurturing, and private environment for both baby and mum. I also provide fresh, farm to table, nourishing postpartum meal preparation to support a mother’s daily nutritional needs during this physically and emotionally demanding transition, helping ensure she has the time and support she needs to rest, recover, and care for herself. While I am not a doula and do not provide medical care, many of the practical and nurturing services I offer naturally complement postpartum recovery. I work with warmth, discretion, flexibility, sound judgment, and a calm, intuitive approach, adapting seamlessly to the individual needs of each family and household. I understand the importance of privacy, confidentiality, and maintaining a low-profile presence within private homes, and I am comfortable working alongside other household staff and professionals when required.
