Responsive Care for Your Newborn
Whether you’re seeking 24-hour care or overnight care, I provide responsive newborn care during the first 16 weeks of your baby’s life.
As an advanced NCS, I’m well-versed in establishing good eating and sleeping habits to set the optimal stage for sleep conditioning. With the goal of getting the newborn to sleep through the night and take age-appropriate naps as soon as it is healthy and possible for you newborn.
I’m familiar with all types of feedings, from breastfeeding to formula feeding and understand the value of and will support a breastfeeding parent and a formula feeding parent. With extensive experience with multiples, I’m able to provide guidance on how to care for the babies simultaneously. I’m well versed in supporting family values and understand the importance of a child having healthy, educated, and empowered parents.
Options for 8-12 hour overnight shifts up to 7 nights/week or, 24-hour care up to 7 days/week.
