My Path to Postpartum Work

For nearly two decades, I’ve worked alongside families, first as a caregiver, then an educator. My journey began with babysitting and grew into a lifelong passion for early childhood development.

From Caregiver to Educator

After earning my Bachelor’s in Early Childhood Education, I became a lead infant teacher, nurturing newborns and building deep connections with parents.

Leading in Infant Care

During the pandemic, I transitioned to professional nannying and household support and saw how essential it is for families to feel seen, not just the baby. Postpartum care became the most meaningful extension of my work.

Why Postpartum

Helping families build confidence, restore balance, and find joy in their fourth trimester is truly my calling.

    Practical help grounded in infant development and lactation education.

  • Rhythm, Rest & Recovery

    We focus on nourishment, sleep foundations, and systems that bring calm.

  • Care for the Home

    Light household support that gives you time to bond and heal.

A Little About Me

Outside of work, I love hiking, dancing, and gathering with friends and family, never missing a chance to build a beautiful charcuterie board. I have a practical love for home organization and feel most at peace in the crisp New England autumn, though the ocean is always calling me home.
