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.

SUPPORTING FAMILIES FROM BIRTH THROUGH BABY’S FIRST YEAR OF LIFE.

My goal is to make your transition to parenthood as peaceful as possible. Whether you need 6 weeks or 6 months of support, daytime or overnight, I’ll be there to support you every step of the way.
