About Me
As a mom myself, I know how difficult it can be bringing a newborn into the world and ensuring they and mom both have their needs met. It can be a chaotic time if you let it, but I specialize in ensuring that this transition is as positive and healthy as possible for everyone.
I have many years of experience working with newborns in and out of the NICU. I have been a practicing nurse assistant and specialize now mostly in newborn care at night.
I have cared for more babies than I can count, and would be happy to talk about how I can help you get your needs met as well.
Many new mothers utilize my expertise to enable them to get better sleep at night - all the while ensuring baby has their needs met as well. With my help, you can rest assured that baby is cared for at all hours, and in the hands of someone with experience to care for even the most intricate of medical needs.
Services
Consultation
Finding the right fit is important, let's ensure you are comfortable before moving forward.
Lactation Support
I know how exhausting and stressful the 4th trimester can be, especially when it comes to breastfeeding and pumping. I can provide tips and tricks for developing a proper latch, baby positioning, hand expression, setting up and using different types of breast pumps, and rules regarding milk storage.
Overnight Newborn Care
I will support your feeding choices whether its bottle or bringing baby to you to nurse, as well as keeping baby clean and dry and rocking your little one to sleep while you get much needed rest. During downtime I am happy to help with all baby related household duties.
Multiples & Preemies
Bringing home twins, triplets, and/or preemie babies can be overwhelming. Having extra support is a must when it comes to learning how to navigate the new challenges of caring for multiples babies at once, making sure babies are gaining weight, and handling the extra complications a preemie may have.
Daytime Newborn Care
Bringing your baby home comes with joy and adjustments. I will assist you with caring for your new little one while you catch up on rest or even work side by side with you to teach tips and tricks. Leave the baby chores to me. I am even happy to help set up the nursery and keep track of baby item inventory.
Medical Needs
Certified Nursing assistant with years of experience working with newborns in an inpatient pediatric unit as well as the NICU has taught me what signs to look for in a medical emergency as well as caring for newborns with reflux, tongue & lip ties, circumcision care, and more.
