Taniya Smith - Newborn Care Specialist

About Taniya

Hi, I’m Taniya, a Certified Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and over nine years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, especially during their very first and most tender weeks of life. I created Starlight Newborn Care to provide expert, nurturing, and personalized support to families during the newborn stage. Whether you're looking for overnight care to get some rest, guidance with infant routines, or gentle sleep conditioning, I'm here to help you feel confident and supported every step of the way. My approach is warm, evidence-based, and tailored to your baby’s unique needs — and to your family’s values. I’m fully certified in infant CPR and First Aid, and I bring a calm, grounded presence into every home I serve. Let me be your guiding star through those early weeks, helping you and your baby rest, bond, and thrive.
