I'm a gentle, loving, responsible newborn care specialist who is extremely passionate about caring for newborns. Besides providing a safe and nurturing environment in which the baby can thrive, I also take great pleasure in educating parents in all aspects of infant care with kindness and respect. In 2018, I made a career change due to my natural love of children. After taking an in-depth course in premature and newborn infant care, I became a newborn care specialist. My training covered topics such as swaddling, soothing techniques, sleep training, scheduling, formulas, natural breastfeeding and breastfeeding issues, reflux, colic, ailments, natural remedies, baby proofing, teething, and potty training. I specialize in providing overnight and daytime care for infants 0-12 weeks, although I also have training and experience in caring for older babies. I have 5 years + of professional hands on experience caring for newborns. I will gladly demonstrate how to Read more diaper, dress, swaddle, bathe, feed, effectively burp and calm a fussy baby. My services also include how to do scheduling and sleep conditioning. Will also educate parents on how to bond with their newborns and the benefits for both baby and parents. An accurate, detailed log will be maintained of all baby's activities. I also have experience in caring for newborn twins. I provide both daytime and overnight help so Mom and Dad can enjoy a date night out or simply get caught up on some much needed sleep. Your baby's welfare will always be my top priority! I have a current certification from ProTrainings for Infant, Pediatric CPR/AED & First Aid. Valid until November 2025. I am up to date with immunizations including the updated Covid vaccine, flu, and the vaccine for Pertussis (Whooping Cough). Completed Advanced Child Care Training with the American Red Cross I have worked for multiple families with newborns in Union and Middlesex counties. Will gladly provide references

Sheila is a truly wonderful caregiver to our daughter. Sheila is reliable, trustworthy, and truly loves babies! Our daughter starts smiling as soon as she sees Sheila coming through the door. I only wish I had Sheila’s expertise during the initial postpartum period. She is truly a baby whisper!
