Our Story
Why we’re committed to serving your baby AND you.
Being a parent is extremely rewarding and equally hard. I remember coming home with our new baby and a fresh 13 staples in my tummy. I was excited to finally be holding my rainbow baby. I spent hours staring at this tiny little miracle who had big needs when I should have been sleeping. Babies don’t come with a guidebook and each baby is their own individual with needs. Moms and dads both need education, support and to feel validated in their decisions. Providing outstanding newborn care is just the beginning.Â
I was teaching a Mommy and Me class during the pandemic, where I saw firsthand how moms were struggling with postpartum anxiety and depression, not to mention the lack of sleep. They needed an extra set of hands, a listening ear, support, rest, and real-time answers to questions. And it’s not just moms! I’ve worked with same-sex couples and dads trying to navigate the tricky waters of traveling with a baby or going through the surrogacy journey. It’s a lot to manage on your own. Â
I felt a calling to amplify the support and training I could offer in a classroom. Exceptional caregivers and full-time care services for many parents are a must. The village doesn’t exist. We have to create it. I built Educated Nannies 10 years ago, and then it inspired me to create Educated Newborn Care Specialists where we’ve made it our mission to find the perfect match for each and every family. Our job is to make life feel easier. There can be so much beauty in the chaos.Â
For us, being a parents’ lifeline is everything. The reward comes from seeing our clients grow as parents alongside their growing babies, hearing the relief and confidence in their voices, and most importantly, seeing those precious newborn smiles. It’s like the icing on top of the cutest cake ever!
