Lactation Consultants & IBCLCs Near Me in Valley Stream, NY

Hello! My name is Molly, and I'm a career nanny and Newborn Care Specialist with over seven years of professional childcare experience caring for children from newborns through school age. I genuinely love being part of a child's growth and helping families create a calm, nurturing, and well-organized home. Throughout my career, I've cared for newborns, infants, toddlers, twins, and school-aged children in a variety of households, including high-profile and ultra-high-net-worth families where professionalism, discretion, and adaptability were essential. My experience includes establishing newborn routines, supporting developmental milestones, planning engaging educational activities, assisting with homework, traveling with families, and providing thoughtful family assistant support. I'm currently completing my degree in Early Childhood Education, which has strengthened my understanding of child development and allows me to bring both warmth and intention to my caregiving. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, respected, and encouraged to explore the world around them. Whether we're reading books, creating art, spending time outdoors, or working on age-appropriate learning activities, I strive to make every day engaging and meaningful. Families describe me as calm, dependable, proactive, and easy to communicate with. I take pride in building trusting relationships with both children and parents, maintaining open communication, and anticipating a family's needs before they're asked. My goal is always to become a reliable, long-term partner who helps make daily life run more smoothly while providing exceptional, loving care for the children. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and become someone your children feel safe, happy, and excited to spend time with.

Bringing a baby into your life can be a beautiful yet, overwhelming experience. I've been a doula for 11 years and counting, so I've been doing this long enough to know that every family is different. Because of that, I like to get to know the families I work with so that I can support them in a way that is specific to their individual needs. I do not make the decisions for parents or tell them what to do, I empower them to have the confidence in their own parental decisions with evidenced based information, care and empathy. On top of being a doula, I'm a Childbirth educator, Certified Lactation Counselor, Nutritionist, Holistic Health Coach, Certified Sports Nutrition Coach, and Personal Trainer with specialties in pelvic floor, core health, prenatal and postpartum fitness. I bring all of my skills to families to support them in the way that is specific to their needs.

Dr. Heather (Chana) Gass holds a PhD in Molecular and Cellular Biology and has been involved in research and education for over a decade. When she was expecting her first child she knew she wanted to strictly breastfeed. After a traumatic birth her baby was taken to the NICU, and a challenging nursing journey began. Dr. Gass felt she was unprepared for initiating breastfeeding, pumping while the baby was in the NICU, and maintaining a strong milk supply. These struggles propelled her to learn more about lactation and become a lactation care provider, as a certified lactation counselor through the Academy of Lactation Policy and Practice. Dr. Gass is committed to helping you initiate and sustain a strong breastfeeding connection with your baby. Dr. Gass provides comprehensive support through classes, prenatal education, and postpartum care to help you confidently initiate and sustain a strong breastfeeding relationship.

I am a certified postpartum doula, lactation counselor, mother, and designer. I was born in NYC and grew up between Brooklyn and Honolulu, where my parents met. Surrounded by natural beauty in Hawaii, I became really interested in plants and studied the ways they're used as natural medicine in indigenous cultures. I dove further into holistic wellness and lived in an ashram in India, where I obtained my yoga teaching certification. It became clear to me that one can be healed by connecting the mind and body with nature. I love to create nourishing meals that incorporate healing herbs to nurture the body into a balanced state of well-being. After I birthed my son, I really understood the challenges in postpartum and importance of supporting and honoring new parents in their special journey. I feel empowered to help postpartum families through one of the biggest transitions of their lives, to make them feel supported and provide resources in areas where they may feel uninformed. I currently reside in Ridgewood, NY and enjoy yoga, cooking, dancing, and tending my medicinal herb garden.
