I love working as a newborn nanny and have been working with this age group consistently since 2011. currently I am working towards becoming a certified newborn care specialist. daytime hours as well as overnight shifts are available if you would like to get some extra sleep. I would be happy to help out around the house including light housekeeping, baby laundry as well as anything baby related such as cleaning/sterilizing bottles, breast pump equipment and preparing bottles.

my experience has included working for an agency caring for newborns and infants as well as older children. this included overnight jobs as well as day jobs. through working with different age groups it became clear to me that although I love working with older children as well, my true passion is working with newborns since my gentle, calm nature combines well with this age group.

i have worked with single babies, multiples as well as premature newborns. experiences working with babies with colic, reflux, silent reflux, food sensitivities as well as bottle coaching, sleep coaching, crib coaching, swaddling, and guideline scheduling have allowed me to learn a few tricks over the years! although I have learned some ways that have worked for me on my professional path, I understand that these are personal choices that are up to the parents.

some of the classes I have taken that teach newborn/infant development include: breastfeeding for multiples through st. joseph’s hospital, newborn care, mind, brain and behavior through csu and a newborn care specialist class through gentle ventures, ncsa approved. class topics included: breastfeeding, formula, swaddling, sleep training, reflux, preemies, colic, bathing, natural remedies, circumcision and umbilical care etc. I am also first aid and cpr certified for infants through adults and have a bs.

doing artwork, singing, dancing, hiking, and spending time with my family and friends are some of my favorite pastimes. working with animals is another passion of mine; I had the opportunity to volunteer as an intern at a holistic vet clinic and loved it! since my urge to be near the ocean became strong, I moved to hawaii for about a year. it is a future goal of mine to be able to volunteer with marine mammals and work towards having a healthier ocean as well as working as a certified newborn care specialist.
