Having a baby is hard work!

From healing, adjusting, and navigating all the "new" in parenthood, you will want CC's help! While it’s true that babies don't come with a manual, neither do pregnancy and birth!

Pregnancy is one of the largest changes your body can go through, culminating in a birth that you can’t predict. Even though women have birthed babies since the beginning of people, the process can be daunting, especially since it comes at a time when you may be physically exhausted. Most of them had help and assuredly, so will you!

Having someone assist you through this stage, with knowledge and experience, can relieve stress, and help you and your partner move toward parenthood confidently.

We'll hold your hand through all of the unknowns!

Newborn Care Specialists and Doulas are the professionals who hold your hand through the unknowns, stresses, and joys of childbearing and childrearing.

Our job is to simply help you after you bring your baby(s) home, and then to walk with you along your postpartum transition path, as you become 'out-of-the-womb' parentscc. You became parents the moment your baby(s) were conceived and you cared for yourself better so that the baby could be healthier!

kind words

Kind words to CC about twins!

"It is also worth noting that we are new parents, and CC is very good at "managing up". She helped us to understand our (twin) children, to understand their cues, and to get us better prepared for the coming months. She is also always willing to learn, research, or use her Newborn Care Specialist network to figure out how to best care for the babies."

Ben & Megan 2021
Thank You CC!

"What truly sets CC apart is the warmth and care she brings into a home. Leaving your newborn overnight with anyone requires an immense amount of trust, and after just one night with CC, I felt completly at ease. She is gentle, calm, and deeply attentive. She keeps a careful eye on the baby and is incredibly dedicated to making sure she was comfortable--trying different approaches, adjusting as needed, and always respondng with patience and care."

Sarina 2026
CC cares about the whole family!

"CC is reliable, kind, and good at what she does. She not only cared for our baby with great attention and love, but also supported us as parents, answering questions and offering gentle guidance during those early, often overwhelming weeks. In additon, CC was very kind to our toddler son, giving him gifts and creating surprises for him with his toys, for when he would wake up.

Brooke & Sean 2025
Triplets! Thank you CC!

"CC singlehandedly took care of our triplets each night from 10p-6a for six weeks, starting when they were only 3 months old. Cheryl did so with grace and we never hesitated to sleep restfully... Cheryl is punctual and reliable. She followed our instructions and provided a structured and supportive environment for our children. She listens and identifies the needs of a family immediately. Cheryl (CC) would be an asset to any family."
