As a full-time baby nurse, I typically arrive when you come home from the hospital to help ease the transition and then live-in for the duration of our time together. For families in parts of New Jersey, I may be able to provide 12-hour (e.g., night time) shifts.

Each newborn is a cherished gift - but they can also be challenging, both for first-time parents and for those with other littles. I strive to provide compassion, love, and support to all family members during those tender first weeks and months.

Karen is an extraordinary person and baby nurse. She is caring and calm, with a wealth of expertise that put us immediately at ease as first-time parents. We trust Karen more than anyone with our baby; when our daughter had some health scares in her first few weeks, it was Karen who identified specific concerns and helped us navigate those difficult moments. She truly took care of all of us; I don't know what we would have done without her.

While Karen is very much the expert, she was never pushy in her knowledge – allowing us to make mistakes and find our own rhythm as a family. She seamlessly fits into the lives of the families she works with and seems to have an innate ability to know when to step in and when to be more hands off. We learned everything we needed from her and feel so much more confident as parents as a result.

What sets Karen apart is her genuine love for the babies she cares for. She formed such a deep bond with our daughter; it was clear every day how much they loved each other and how much Karen truly cared for her happiness, comfort, and growth. We feel so lucky to have Karen in our lives; she's now family to us and we can't wait to work with her again when we decide to expand our family. Hiring her was the best decision we ever made – and we encourage you to make the same one!
