My name is Leeann, and caring for newborns is both my passion and my calling. I'm a certified Newborn Care Specialist, Infant Sleep Consultant and Lactation Specialist. I am patient, nurturing, and detail-oriented, with a calm and reassuring presence that helps parents feel at ease. Families describe me as reliable, trustworthy, and warm-hearted. I love creating a peaceful environment for babies while supporting parents as they adjust to life with their little one. My goal is always to bring comfort, consistency, and confidence to the families I work with. My services include 24 hours care or 12 hour daytime or awake overnight newborn care. Feeding support (breastfeeding, bottle, pumping guidance). Sleep conditioning, and training and establishing healthy routines. Umbilical cord and circumcision site care. Infant soothing techniques. Education for new parents on newborn care and development. Light baby-related household tasks (bottle prep, baby laundry, nursery organization).
Leeann joined our family as a Newborn Care Specialist right when our daughter came home from the hospital and quickly became part of our family. I had originally booked her for 6 weeks, mostly nights only, but she was so incredible that I extended her care to 24 hours, 6 days a week for a full 12 weeks. We are first time parents who had no idea what we were doing, but Leeann stepped in and taught us everything in a way that was non-intrusive and respectful. From sleep schedules, to feeding, to baby's development - Leeann is a true expert in all things newborn. She is also very professional and has a website and LLC for her company. What I loved most about Leeann is the way she cared for our daughter. She treated her like she was her own and was so warm and loving from day 1. As weeks went on, it was amazing to see how engaging she was, taking her on walks, reading to her daily, recommending we get certain toys to help with our baby's development. I would keep Leeann forever if I could - she is amazing!
