Service introduction

I offer many services including newborn care/guidance as well as overnight care. Insuring that you can be well rested and confident when it comes to carrying for the new addition to your family! My services include household tasks like baby laundry, doing some dishes as well as tidying up. I am here to support you physically and emotionally and I do not have an answer to a question I will go out of my way to find you the information. Sometimes it is hard for siblings to adjust to their new roll as an older sibling, and I am here to insure that they too feel seen and understood. I offer sibling support, if you need someone to care for older children when the newest addition to the family is ready to come. I can prepare meals for you and your family, run errands or pick up something for the family to eat before my shift starts. I am here to make your lives easier and set you up for success!

I interviewed a few nannies and Doulas and I’m glad I went with Teresa as she was the ONLY one that seemed to genuinely desire to go beyond expectations. She tended to our newborn for only three nights but there wasn’t a moment of concern or hesitation from my wife and I. Teresa voiced opinions and insights about sleep scheduling and suggestions that you will not get from youtube or google because every child is different. Since then, we’ve kept along the path she advised on and everyone is sleeping much better. As a sufferer of sleep apnea, every extra minute I get of sleep especially makes so much difference. I cannot suggest Teresa more to be a Doula for others in a sea of Nannies and Doulas going through the motions.
