About New Baby Basics
Introduction
I’m a mom of two school-aged kids and former teacher who is passionate about helping new parents feel comfortable and confident in the first few weeks after bringing home a new baby. It can be scary and overwhelming to be sent home from the hospital with that little tiny human.
Don’t lose sleep trying to remember all the newborn care information you learned in a prenatal class, had a nurse show you at the hospital, or searched in a panic in the middle of the night. Let me come to you and calmly, gently help you learn what to do with YOUR baby in YOUR space. No pressure. No judgement.
I understand that every child and every family is different so general parenting advice that works for some families might not work for your unique situation. Your baby’s temperament and your parenting goals are important to consider.
I will help you wade through all of the great evidence-based research as well as share time-tested wisdom and parenting tips that align with your unique parenting style, to figure out what works for YOU and YOUR BABY. As a mom of a highly sensitive baby turned spirited kid,I get it. There isn’t a one size fits all solution.
Why Choose New Baby Basics?
I have extensive experience with young babies and can help you feel confident in those first few weeks at home. I want you to feel confident and calm when caring for your baby. I’m here to go over all those basics that might seem overwhelming right now.
As a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST) I participate in community seat checks, continuing education, and public outreach to make sure that all kids are secured correctly in the best seat for their age, developmental level, and the car they will be riding in.
Car Seat Services
I can help you navigate which car seat to purchase, where you will get the best install in your car, how to install, and what your next seat will need to be. Schedule a free 10 min phone call to discuss your needs and find out how I can help.
Car seat safety is one of the first things parents can learn about before their little one arrives. I can help you install a seat in your car, grandma’s car, an Uber, or a nanny’s car. My goal is to teach you how do it so that you are able to install and reinstall with confidence. New parents have enough to worry about. Knowing their babies are safe in the car goes a long way!
New Parent Services
Once you have the car seat figured out, it’s time to go over all the skills you need to make life with a newborn as easy as possible. I am here to help you. Newborn baby care doesn't need to be overwhelming. New parents will learn all about babies and what they need.
Have you forgotten everything the nurses told you in the hospital? Struggling to feel like you know what you are doing? Scared you have forgotten something important?

I am available to come to your house, see your space, and walk you through any baby care tasks you might need support with.

The first few weeks can be overwhelming and I am here to provide nonjudgmental parenting support.
