Nanny

As your part-time or full-time nanny, I am committed to fostering a warm and supportive environment that nurtures compassion, empathy, teamwork, open communication, creativity, and respect. I strive to create a judgment-free space where children feel safe to express themselves, explore new ideas, and develop positive social skills. Together, we'll build a foundation of love, understanding, and open-mindedness that encourages growth and discovery.

I am dedicated to ensuring your children are well-rested, nurtured, and guided with positivity. I’ll organize engaging outings to local parks, libraries, and community centers, and participate in enriching programs and classes alongside your children. I will also coordinate neighborhood playdates to help foster social connections. Inside your home, I’ll create purposeful and imaginative play experiences tailored to your children’s development. I prioritize preparing nutritious lunches and snacks suited to their age. With my Early Childhood Education background from George Brown College, I bring a strong foundation in child development to support your children’s growth and well-being.

Honesty, positivity, teamwork, and open communication are essential to building a strong, successful relationship with the families and children I work with.

I am happy to provide reference letters, contactable references, a clean background check, and up-to-date CPR and First Aid certification for your peace of mind.

Date night Sitter

As your date night babysitter, I will arrive at your home at the designated time to support your family's needs. I can assist with feeding, bath time, play, and bedtime stories, creating a comforting and enjoyable routine for your child. If you prefer, I can also start after your child is asleep to help with light housekeeping tasks.

Additionally, if your little one isn’t feeling well, I will carefully monitor their temperature, administer any necessary medication, provide nourishing meals, and offer plenty of comforting cuddles until you return. I’m also happy to help your dog feel calm and cared for while you’re away, giving them attention and affection to ensure everyone feels at ease until you’re back.

Parenting Coach

As your Parent Coach, I offer fresh perspectives and practical solutions for navigating family challenges. Through compassionate guidance and proven strategies, I help you understand and positively influence family dynamics, fostering healthier relationships and smoother interactions. Together, we'll develop tailored approaches to address specific behaviors, strengthen communication, and create a balanced, supportive home environment.

Hiring a parent coach provides you with a dedicated partner in achieving your parenting goals, empowering you to confidently handle everyday challenges and build lasting, positive change for you and your family.

Postpartum Doula

As your postpartum doula, I offer a minimum of 10 hours of support per week, with the flexibility to increase hours as needed. You have the freedom to decide how to use this time each week, tailoring my support to fit your unique needs. Once we meet, we can discuss any questions and ensure we're a good fit for your family.

Here’s a glimpse of my services:

• I provide education for you and your partner (if applicable) on comforting your baby when they’re crying, understanding their hunger cues, and recognizing when they're full. I’ll also teach baby-safe sleep practices, whether your baby sleeps in their crib or co-sleeps with you, ensuring a secure environment.

• I’ll guide you through breastfeeding techniques, including different positions and achieving a proper latch, and introduce the benefits of babywearing to foster closeness and comfort.

• I support your recovery process by caring for your baby so you can take breaks for a shower, rest, or a meal, free from worry.

• My role includes emotional support: I’m here as a listening ear, to answer any questions about your baby or your own well-being, and to ensure you’re thriving both physically and emotionally.

• I also help with light housekeeping and preparing nutritious meals that you can freeze for added convenience.

My goal is to support, educate, and empower you and your partner or support person on this journey. For additional tips and insights, visit my Doula Instagram, where I share practical advice for daily life with a newborn.

OverNight Doula

An Overnight Doula provides you the invaluable opportunity to focus on restorative sleep and self-care, helping your body heal faster and giving you the energy and mental clarity you need to care for your newborn during the day. While you rest, I’ll take care of your baby’s nighttime needs—bottle-feeding, burping, and changing every 2-3 hours or whenever your baby is hungry. If you’re breastfeeding, I’ll quietly bring your baby to you throughout the night whenever they need to nurse, allowing you to stay relaxed and rested.

Throughout the night, I ensure safe sleep practices and use Harvey Karp’s “Five S’s” soothing techniques to help your baby settle and sleep. My overnight support can be tailored to fit your schedule, typically from 11:00 pm to 7:00 am, with a minimum of 7 hours per night.
