Service introduction
As your Newborn Care Specialist, I will provide loving care for your little one while you get some much needed rest overnight. I will help you establish the building blocks of a routine and give your baby the tools to establish healthy sleep habits from day one (not to be confused with Cry-It-Out sleep training!). I will be there through any challenges that may arise during your newborn's journey and I will always be available to answer any of your newborn care questions, guiding and supporting you in whichever way is most helpful!

Ratings and reviews
Our family is so grateful that we found Teresa and were able to have her in our lives to care for our son from 6 months to 2.5 years. Her attention and care for our little one was beyond what we could have imagined and the knowledge and experience she brings helped us as new parents.

Teresa has such a comforting presence and an unmatched skill in caring for little ones. Teresa took care of our daughter from age 4 months to 2.5 years and she became a second home for our child. She is also an excellent cook! We will be forever grateful that our paths crossed at such a precious and crucial developmental time for our daughter.

Teresa has an incomparable level of experience caring for children. She has been nurturing children for decades and it is so evident when you see her gently and patiently interact with any child. She has cared for our 5 year old daughter since she was 4 months old as well as our 2.5 year old since he was 6 months old. Both of our children love Teresa as if she was their second mom. Not only is Teresa fantastic with kids, she also is an expert at communicating with parents. Everyday, my partner and I knew how our kids’ day went and, if anything ever came up, like a stomach bug or fever, Teresa always knew what to do. We are eternally grateful for having such a skilled and trustworthy caregiver in our children’s lives.

Teresa cared for our daughter for several years and we all love her like part of the family. She is thoughtful, caring, and knowledgeable and our daughter flourished in her development while with Teresa. As a first time mother , it was such a gift to know by baby was being cared for by such an intentional and loving person. Teresa is simply the best!
