I have a passion for providing quality newborn care so I continue to advance my knowledge by attending trainings each year. This is important when working with birth-3 months. There are always new things to learn and each training offers a different approach to important things we need to know as Newborn Care Specialists. Some of the things I enjoy learning more about are working with breastfeeding mothers, communication with parents, sleep conditioning and the best newborn related products on the market. I have also created a support group for NCS on Facebook which has close to 700 members. This also keeps me very busy and is amazing to network with   the very best in our industry.

I always enjoyed working in the home as a Professional Nanny for 14 years before focusing on newborns. Part of what I enjoyed was becoming an extended part of the family. I enjoy working as a team with parents and supporting them through the newborn stage now. I enjoy guiding families and being able to answer questions when families may have them. It is also very easy to love babies. I feel I have a natural ability to soothe and make a newborn feel safe and comfortable. It also is rewarding to know I’ve helped a family get their baby on a good schedule and helping to have their baby sleeping through the night by 12 weeks.

I enjoy working with all types of family dynamics. I am also a non judgmental source and very flexible with my approach. I can work part time and full time and try to meet each family’s needs. I am a trained CAPPA Postpartum Doula and Lactation Educator as well who is working towards my certification.   I love traveling to clients around the United States and also working live in short term jobs. I am a supporter of both breastfeeding but can make suggestions on good formulas to use as well. My background consists of a Degree in Early Childhood Education and MANY trainings, conferences and workshops over the past 20 years. I have also been fortunate to work with multiples; twins and quintuplets. My career has also given my the opportunity to work with some special needs newborns. Each family is unique and I’m always fulfilled a little more with each new family I get the opportunity to work with.
