I started Babies by the Beach in 2016 to encompass my growing passion for helping families begin their journey into parenthood. New parents are constantly being bombarded with information, and often times conflicting theories on child-rearing. I hope to provide you with the support you need to make whatever decisions you feel are best for your family. With a strong background in the science of child development and years of hands-on experience caring for infants, I can offer unbiased information to questions and concerns if desired. I can also provide a plethora of local resources to make your transition easier and more joyful. I love giving families a break so that they can rest and devote time to their own needs. Self-care is an essential part of the physical and emotional undertaking of becoming parents, and I believe an important ingredient to having a happy family.
