About me

Hello, As both a mother and an experienced OB nurse I value the sacred nature of welcoming a new baby into the world. I feel as though this experience can be both rewarding and overwhelming, both exciting and terrifying, both invigorating and exhausting. However, I believe there is nothing more uplifting than embracing fellow parents during this special time. Whether it’s for the first time or the ninth, welcoming a new baby is unique and filled with physical and emotional challenges as our minds and bodies are stretched to limits beyond our imagination. I understand the demands that a family faces in the hospital as well as the transitions that take place when introducing a new addition at home. I feel that as a medical provider I am able to offer safe and supportive care in the hospital setting, but that many families need support that extends beyond the typical 2-3 days at the hospital. My goal is to offer support, encouragement, education, and ultimately to empower my families to feel confident and positive as they embark on their individual parenting journeys. I want them to have confidence and peace of mind moving forward from their postpartum experience. I value diversity and believe each family should have a support system centered around their family values and goals.

Service introduction

I am available to support families as they welcome a new baby into the home. I provide feeding support, diapering, supervision and care during evening/overnight hours to allow for new parents to rest and recover after birth. I also am available to prepare dinner and/or breakfast for the family and provide education and assist new parents to learn basic postpartum and newborn care techniques. I accept both short term and long term clients and aim to be as flexible as possible to offer dependable and personalized care.
