TRAINED NEWBORN CARE SPECIALIST & Certified Nursing Assistant

“It brings me such joy to support other women in starting their new families while giving them the time and space to remain the amazing individual that they are outside of motherhood. It is like an unspoken sisterhood!”

a brief bio

Before providing tender-loving newborn care to babies with Baby Bloom, Haily had 5 years of experience providing care to newborns and new postpartum mothers at Women and Infants hospital as a Certified Nursing Assistant. She is currently pursuing a degree in sonography, but has always had such passion for caring for new mothers and babies and watching them grow as individuals while teaming up with the parents. She was born and raised in Rhode Island, but she is a first generation American. Haily’s family immigrated to the states from Portugal. She is the eldest sister in her family, so she developed into a natural nurturer for her siblings. She currently spends her free time reading, going to coffee shops, and going to the gym.

“When I’m not rocking your precious baby to sleep, you can find me reading a good book at a local coffee shop!”
