Setting up parents for success in their important journey has always been my passion! My degree in Early Childhood Development led me on a path to becoming a professional nanny for ten wonderful years. As I’ve helped many families along the way I’ve learned a thing or two. On top of these experiences, I’ve expanded my expertise with DONA International and Birth Arts International training in postpartum doula work, as well as becoming a Certified Lactation Support Counselor in order to know the latest evidence-based practices on infant care and feeding. With compassion, calm, and caring, I’m there to aid in supporting families in the first year following birth. My role includes educating on responsive baby care and supporting the family through encouragement, feeding, tidying up, and holding space. Whether it’s baby feeding methods or the best safe-sleeping practices, I want to help guide and nurture your family. My goal is to partner with you as parents in order to help your growing family feel as rested and confident as possible.

I offer both virtual and hands-on support of all things related to the 4th trimester through baby's first year, including emotional well-being, feeding, sleep, infant cues and nutrition. This includes: - Making sure birthing person and baby’s physical and emotional needs are cared for - Supporting family dynamic, including nurturing partners and siblings - Assisting and supporting breast/chest/bottle/syringe/alternative feeding - Safe sleep practices that fit your family’s needs - Babywearing support; access to Hatchling carrier lending library - Responsive baby care, getting to know baby’s cues - Help with household management: light housekeeping, snack and occasional meal preparation; managing daily tasks - Accompanying parent/baby on outings (medical appointments, errands, walks, etc.) - Access to Hatchling resources for additional services and outside care
