THE EXPERT YOU WANT COUPLED WITH THE SUPPORT YOU NEED

When you're looking to hire newborn care and postpartum support, it's about much more than just having someone to keep your baby content overnight. The right support will help you flourish in this new chapter of life. I go beyond being just a baby expert.

You need a nurturing and personable caregiver who can lovingly care for your newborn, support you in achieving your feeding goals, intuitively and proactively anticipate your needs all while blending into your family dynamic.

Sweet words from amazing clients

  • “We initially hired a night nanny and had a bad experience, so I was really hesitant to trust someone new - but I was desperate for sleep and support. Emily’s qualifications immediately stood out, and her warm, confident presence sealed the deal. We needed help fast, and Emily showed up for overnight care that very night.

    You can tell this work is her calling. Every question we had, she answered with confidence and clarity. We especially appreciated her up-to-date, evidence-based approach. It was such a relief knowing the person caring for our newborn was not just trained, but deeply experienced and genuinely knowledgeable. Emily was everything we could have hoped for and more.”

    - Lisa and Christian M.

  • "Our 10-week old was struggling with sleep due to us (mom and dad) not setting up a routine, and also due to some serious postpartum anxiety. I reached out to Emily for help and not only did she help us get our baby on a day&night routine, but she helped ease my anxiety tremendously. Our baby went from waking every 45min - 1hour at night and needing a lot of assistance to go back to sleep (replacing paci 100 times, rocking to sleep, you know the drill) to falling asleep independently and only waking once for a feed. With Emily’s guidance, our baby eventually was sleeping 10-12 hour overnight stretches! I can’t thank Emily enough for her help and patience working with our family to help us ALL get proper rest and support."

  • "We hired Emily for overnight support for the first 4 months of our son's life, and I truly wish we could've extended care through the first year of his life- not only is Emily extremely knowledgeable about newborns and postpartum, but she is well-versed in all aspects of infants-toddler care, milestones and development. Honestly, I would’ve kept her forever if I was able to! Emily made me feel empowered as a first-time mom and gave me the compassionate support I needed in such a vulnerable time. She is worth her weight in gold."

  • “Emily has been a huge help in giving us the tools and resources needed to get on the right path to healthy sleep patterns for our 4-month old. I am grateful for her support and the wealth of knowledge that she has provided to us. She has given us the confidence as parents to move forward with a routine that is customized to our family, and we can finally see the light at the end of tunnel!”
