About Me

As a dedicated Newborn Care Specialist with 12 years of experience, I’m passionate about supporting families through the early stages of parenthood. Caring for newborns, children, and mothers is not just my job—it's something I truly love. As a mother of four myself, I understand firsthand both the joys and challenges that come with raising children, and that personal connection drives my commitment to helping parents feel confident in caring for their babies.

Over the course of my career, I’ve worked closely with families to offer guidance on everything from infant care and breastfeeding support to helping parents navigate postpartum depression. Building strong, trusting relationships with both parents and their babies is incredibly important to me, and I always strive to create a nurturing, flexible environment that meets each family’s unique needs.

My experience spans day and night newborn care, with a special focus on multiples and preemies. I’m skilled in setting up routines for sleeping, feeding, naps, and playtime, as well as sleep training, and I bring a wealth of knowledge on handling common infant issues like colic and reflux. I also take care to maintain thorough records of a baby's sleep, feeding, and diapering patterns, keeping parents in the loop on their child’s progress.

Beyond practical care, I’m committed to creating a warm, nurturing environment. I believe in the importance of gentle touch, bonding, and baby massage to soothe and comfort newborns. I also love incorporating reading and storytelling to encourage language development and create a stimulating atmosphere that fosters emotional and social growth. Whether supporting breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, my priority is always to ensure both baby and parents feel supported and cared for.

I’m always looking to grow and learn in my role, staying updated on the latest research and best practices in newborn care through workshops and training programs. My goal is to provide families with the highest standard of care, giving babies the best possible start in life.

In short, my experience as both a mother and a professional has shaped me into a compassionate and committed Newborn Care Specialist. I understand the ups and downs of early parenthood, and I’m here to guide and support parents every step of the way. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my skills and passion to make a positive impact on the lives of families.
