Why are you passionate about newborn care?
I’ve worked with children of all ages ranging from 2 weeks- 13 years old. I seem to connect better with infants and can read their cues very well. Thus, I’ve become very passionate about working with infants.
What is the greatest compliment you’ve ever received from a client?
“You’re a godsend”- Previous client. The baby was 3 months old when I started and when I left, the baby was able to sleep through the night, take milk from a bottle, naps longer than 30 minutes, and does not have as much stranger anxiety towards new people.
What do you enjoy about working with new families?
I enjoy the new beginnings with: learning about the child/baby, learning different parenting techniques, and establishing new relationships with the parent and child.
Let’s talk newborns: what is your favorite part about caring for newborns?
It definitely would have to be seeing them grow and reaching new milestones. Babies grow so fast the first 12 months so it’s really amazing to see that.
What is next for you? Are you preparing for a new certification or training event?
Hopefully in the future, I will attend trainings for post pardum doula and/ or lactation consultant.
What is one fun fact about yourself?
I was born in a refugee camp in Thailand and was 3 months premature so I definitely resonate more with premature babies.
