"When I became a Newborn Care Specialist, aka "Baby Nurse," I discovered that I do more than just helping parents get some sleep. I help relieve some of the stress and frustration that sometimes comes with caring for a newborn. I am part of their support team. Having a stable support system in place is vital after the baby comes home."

"Educating parents comes with the proper guidance and support.  My education and experience in childcare have given me the tools that I need to help parents become strong and confident in caring for their child long after my services are no longer required."
