My goal is to use my experience, education, and interpersonal skills to help families improve their quality of life. I do this by a preventative approach. Although having a new baby is a happy time. It is as well a major life changing event. Being a new parent can be an overwhelming experience. I offer support to prevent postpartum depression. I give parents a 4 hour plus break a couple of times a week. As a Postpartum Companion/Family Life Educator, I offer; non-judgemental active listening to both parents, reinforce confidence as new parents, breastfeeding support, baby holding while mom takes care of herself, accompaniment to doctors’ appointments, shopping. As well as some meal preparation, and home organizing ideas to ease everyday living with a newborn. I can even offer support and encouragement with the dreaded sort through wardrobe. In addition I also offer emergence family babysitting support. I have worked in hundreds of homes. I know most basic family daily routines. My experience, leadership abilities and organizational skills allow me to take initiative in many situations. I can easily come to your home and care for your children while you find full time help.
