About me

After decades of caring for newborns becoming a Newborn Care Specialist made sense. Earning the certification has offered me the opportunity to reach out to families with an enhanced professionalism even though I approach my work with the same kindness, caring, evidence based information and deep rooted experience. My extensive training and knowledge coupled with my experience insures you that your baby will given the utmost care. Feeding guidelines, sleep shaping, purposeful play during wake windows and lots of cuddles. I bring the ability to align with your family core values and expectations with understanding while offering support and guidance. Open communication and team work is key for the best results.

Service introduction

When a baby is about to join the family the whole family changes. I offer newborn care support, daytime and overnights. I have expertise in breast or bottle feeding or a combination of both, newborn sleep support, purposeful play during wake windows and lots of cuddles. As well as, baby laundry, keeping up with nursery supplies and washing bottles/ pump parts. I’ll be glad to make simple snacks and keep baby items well organized. Since each families needs are all unique the care package we build for you will be too.
