Hello! I am a former midwife of 18 years and have children that are needing much less of me now (13-23). My family moved to WA from OR for my husband's job and I'm finding that I am missing newborns more than I realized I would. I'd love to find a way to provide occasional care for babies. I am keen on safety as well as experienced, and confident watching children closely for any signs/symptoms that may need attention. I'm well versed in first aid and have excellent resuscitation skills. Zero % squeamish, and am well equipped to provide very competent care. I also just LOVE babies, and attachment parented my own children. I often hold babies in a sling instead of leaving them in a bouncy seat while awake. I'm happy to do kitchen clean up while your baby sleeps nearby, so you can hold them when you get home. I own a birth center in Oregon (spending one day/month there) and my family travels occasionally, but otherwise I have availability on most weekdays (esp. during the day).
