About
I have been with working with children from birth to 18 years for over 25 years. I started as a sleep coach and newborn care specialist 15 years ago and it has become my passion. I love helping families where sleep is like a distant memory and I can change their lives with my 4 day sleep training program. I also travel with families when they go away on vacation to help care for the children and ensure it is a vacation for the parents as much as it is for the children . I have traveled with families and cared for as many as 5 kids ranging from 15 yrs to 3 months. I have been to Hawaii and The Caribbean,The Greek islands and all over the United States.
I have been taking care of children for as long as I can remember. I started helping my mom with the daycare she ran from our home when I was young in Omaha NE.
I started babysitting when I was thirteen in Tacoma WA and continued babysitting until I became a full time mothers helper for twins at age 17 in Santa Fe NM. I worked with the twins from 6 months to 3 years.
When I moved to Bethlehem PA I went to school for my Associates degree in Early Childhood Education. While in school I worked at a daycare in multiple rooms. I was with infants,toddlers and preschool aged children.
I became a live in nanny in Newton Ma, in 2000 to 6 week old twins. I was with the twins full time until they were 3 and their brother was 1. They had another son in 2007 so I took care of all four children part time. The twins are now 18 and off to college. I still go hang out with them once a week and I look forward to it. I take care of the younger two children running errands, carpooling,meal preparation, sports cheerleader and help with homework. They are like my family and I can't imagine my life without them.
I have also spent the last 15 years working as an overnight newborn care specialist and sleep coach in Massachusetts. I love working overnight with infants and it shows in my commitment and care I give to each family. This is not a job you choose because it is easy. You choose this job because you love it and you bring your compassion and knowledge to help families navigate this new and exciting time in their lives.
I love babies and children and I love helping people. My job is very important to me and I take great pride in working hard and making sure everyone is happy, healthy and safe.
I love being a newborn care specialist because I am able to be with newborns and infants all the time, I am also able to help parents understand their babies and guide them to healthy days and restful nights.
This is the best job ever and I can't imagine doing anything else.
