About Ruth
Experience: 10 yrs
I'm a Certified Postpartum Doula & Newborn Care Specialist with 18 years of experience providing overnight support to newborns & families. I have extensive experience caring for healthy newborns, twins, premature infants, & babies with medical needs, including laryngomalacia, epilepsy, severe allergies, feeding tubes (NG and G tubes), & oxygen support such as nasal cannula & CPAP. I have also worked alongside nurses in the NICU. I provide fully awake overnight care & am knowledgeable about safe sleep & newborn safety. I provide newborn care, parent support, light tidying, sleep shaping, detailed notes, & helpful tips. My goal is to help your family get the rest they need while ensuring your baby receives attentive, loving care. I value empathetic, nurturing care, taking time to learn your baby's cues & routines so their needs can be met calmly & with ease. I am dependable, communicative, safety focused, & kind. Supporting families during this special season of life is an honor.
Most recent review
If/when I become pregnant again, Ruth will be my first phone call. She is simply amazing. There are people you can just tell who genuinely love babies and she is one of them. She joined us a few days after we got home from the hospital and it was truly the best decision we’ve ever made. Ruth is kind, warm, thoughtful, reassuring, and always on time. As first time parents, she answered so many questions without judgment. But I truly credit her for setting us up for sleep success. Our daughter has slept through the night since she was 9 weeks old and very rarely wakes even now. I truly believe it’s because of the foundation of sleep that Ruth guided our daughter through in a loving and nurturing way. Ruth would also help with dishes, laundry, etc….it was such a luxury to wake up to a clean kitchen and clothes. I think it’s what kept us sane through the early newborn days. You won't regret asking Ruth into your home.
