Summary
With 13 years of professional experience as a postpartum doula and nanny, combined with 23 years of personal experience raising my own family of four, I have developed a profound understanding of the needs of new parents. My role as a postpartum doula is immensely rewarding, allowing me to support and nurture families as they transition into parenthood. I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of families, including those with newborns, twins, and infants with special needs, and I maintain lasting relationships with many of them.

My strong multitasking skills and positive mindset enable me to create a healthy and supportive environment for families during their transition. Given my extensive experience and dedication, I am confident that I would be a valuable addition to your establishment.
