Experienced newborn care provider

“I love working with new moms and newborns because of it being such special time in a family’s life. I find being able to provide knowledge, and a calm and loving environment to be incredibly rewarding. I am always very grateful to be a special part in a new baby’s life, and take that role very seriously!”

a brief bio

Beth has spent over 20 years supporting families through the tender and transformative early months of parenthood. Based in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, Beth brings extensive knowledge of newborn and infant care, along with a deep understanding of early development. She especially loves working with young babies—selfishly for the snuggles, but also because she recognizes the profound impact of being a steady, compassionate support system for new mothers.

From an early age, Beth knew she was meant to care for children, and that calling has shaped her life’s work. Today, as a devoted mother of two, she continues to pour her experience, empathy, and gentle guidance into helping families feel confident, supported, and cared for during their transition into parenthood.

“When I am not soothing your precious newborn to sleep, you can find me on the soccer bleachers rooting for my kids!”

I was able to see the baby had undiagnosed reflux, and communicate with mom to help get that resolved, as well as provide knowledge and care on how to support a baby with reflux.
