Why are you passionate about newborn care?
My passion stems from being able to provide security & care during the first few months of life for baby and mommy. The first few months are cruticle times for life that should be handled with delicate care to insure healthy habits and growth. Being able to reduce stress for new mothers by providing them with tip, education, and support.
What is the greatest compliment you’ve ever received from a client?
The best compliment I’ve ever received from a parent was to be told that I go over and beyond to make sure EVERYONE in the family is comfortable even the family animal because my love extends beyond a person to the soul.
Also that if they could keep me forever and adopt me as a family member they would.
What do you enjoy about working with new families?
I love learning every family members different personalities. Also becoming accustomed to different family dynamics or cultures.
Let’s talk newborns: what is your favorite part about caring for newborns?
My favorite part of caring for a newborn is caring for their innocence. Knowing that they are an empty vessel ready to be filled with love and joy. A newborns first few months of life sets the pathway for longterm growth, but the best part is the way a newborn feels and smells….even poop lol
What is next for you? Are you preparing for a new certification or training event?

What is one fun fact about yourself?
