Hello, my name is Jaqueline Himelfarb and I am a Newborn Care Specialist, Dual Certified Sleep Consultant and Founder of Ready For Rest, located in Walnut Creek, California and serving families in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. I have been working in the childcare field for 7+ years. I was born and raised in Brazil and in 2019, moved to the U.S. to work and study and since then I have been working on gaining knowledge and experience in the perinatal industry, pediatric sleep, and child development. I became a mother myself back in April 2023, and now experiencing the joys and challenges of raising little ones, I found myself more passionate about guiding, supporting, and educating new, expectant, and seasonal parents to navigate parenthood with less stress and more joy. I have completed my coursework to become an Advanced Newborn Care Specialist and Dual Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant. Additionally, I took courses in areas like infant and toddler sleep; food allergies; respectful care for newborns, infants, and toddlers; breastfeeding; and non-toxic living, to become a more well-rounded postpartum provider. I can provide newborn care education, basic breastfeeding assistance, and sleep support. My duties while working with past clients include diaper changing, feeding, bathing, caring for the child while parents rest, age-appropriate sleep training, support in the transition to the fourth trimester, and educating parents in aged and developmentally-appropriate activities. I follow a family centered, judgement-free, caring and flexible approach helping parents to transition to a life with a new baby. I take pride in working with parents as a team, communicating and listening to their fears, concerns, and observations to provide tailored care and support to their families.
