Why are you passionate about newborn care?
I have always loved babies since I was a kid. I really seem to get them and understand them. I also love being able to help new moms and guide them through this special time.
What is the greatest compliment you’ve ever received from a client?
All of my clients are very grateful for my services but I think the best compliment that was I changed their lives. They had a tough time with the first baby and were worried about doing it again but I was able to calmly help them through and give them a different experience from the first time.
What do you enjoy about working with new families?
I love teaching them about their babies and empowering them to care for their baby.

I love the sleepy cuddles and their smiles and coos.

What is one fun fact about yourself?
