Trained Newborn Care Specialist

“What I love most about working with newborns and new mothers is being a source of support during those precious first weeks. I love getting to know each baby, celebrating the little milestones, and helping parents get the rest and reassurance they need to enjoy this special time.”

a brief bio

Kayleigh is a gentle and patient caregiver who loves helping families wherever she can. During the newborn stage, she enjoys being a calm and supportive presence, taking the time to understand each family’s unique needs and provide attentive care. She has supported brand-new parents welcoming their first baby as well as seasoned parents preparing to welcome their fourth.

Through overnight newborn care, Kayleigh supports families by tending to their baby’s needs throughout the night, including soothing, feeding support, diaper changes, burping, and helping baby settle back to sleep. She can also assist with light newborn-related tasks, giving parents the opportunity to get much-needed rest while knowing their little one is being cared for.

Whether it’s helping new parents feel more comfortable and supported or being an extra set of hands for a growing family, Kayleigh is always happy to help. Her goal is to make the newborn transition feel a little easier so parents can focus on resting, bonding, and enjoying these precious moments with their little one.

“When I am not soothing your precious newborn to sleep, you can find me listening to music, watching movies, and spending time doing the things I enjoy. I appreciate a good balance of relaxation, creativity, and fun.”
