I understand the challenges and joys that come with welcoming a new little one into your family, which is why my goal is to provide you with the support and guidance that you need to adjust to parenthood with confidence and ease. Whether you need around-the-clock care, overnight support, or just an extra pair of hands during the day, I am here to help.

With my expertise in feeding, sleeping, soothing, and diapering, I can help you and your baby establish healthy routines and habits and provide you with the peace of mind you need to focus on your own recovery and bonding with your new family member.

 

My ultimate goal is to help your family thrive during this transformative time. I offer a variety of services tailored to meet the specific needs of each family and have experience with multiples, special needs, colic and reflux, traveling with families, National or International, high profile families, and LGBTQ families.  

Slee

Sleep Consultant

The overwhelming feelings of frustration and exhaustion are common with a new baby and the lack of sleep it can bring. My services include personalized sleep plans, one-on-one support, and guidance on sleep training methods that will work best for you and your family.

I'm familiar with a multitude of ways to sleep train, so whether you are looking for a more holistic approach, or want to pull the bandaid off quickly, I can help. I'm well-versed in the science behind infant and toddler sleep, so you can feel confident that the advice I provide is evidence-based and evidence-informed. I'm here to listen, support, and empower you through this journey, so you can achieve the sleep you and your baby need.

As a certified medical assistant, I am able to provide a service that most Newborn Care Specialists cannot. I am trained in administering medications, taking vitals, and providing patient care as prescribed by physicians. I am well-versed in infection control techniques and can help families maintain a safe environment for their medically fragile baby. Additionally, my knowledge of medical terminology enables me to communicate effectively with healthcare professionals so you know that your baby is receiving the best care possible and that you are informed and comfortable with the care they are receiving.

 

I understand that parenting a medically fragile baby can be overwhelming and I am here to provide support, guidance, and comfort to you as a trusted family partner. My experience in providing compassionate newborn care has given me an edge when it comes to making sure your little one is getting the best care possible and I am committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for your baby.
