RECENT WORK EXPERIENCE

EF FAMILY - Daytime NEWBORN CARE

Came into this family’s life to help them with their precious baby. Really enjoyed doing tummy time with the little one and singing/talking to baby. Loves to give lots of cuddles and rock baby to sleep in my arms. I am here for mom to vent and give her my feedback. I love to have conversations about the baby and help improve anything for the little bundle of joy!
