Hello there, I'm Elsy!
I'm a dedicated professional and a proud mother to two beautiful young ladies who inspire me every day. With over 20 years of experience in the child care industry, I am deeply passionate about supporting families during the precious early weeks of a newborn's life.
As a Certified Newborn Care Specialist, Trained by Gentle Venture’s Training Center and certified through the Newborn Care Specialist Association, Trained by Summer’s Newborn Care Specialist Program and certified through American Association of Drugless Practitioners. I specialize in the care of newborns from 0-16 weeks, and I bring a wealth of knowledge and skills to every family I work with, continuously enhancing my expertise through ongoing trainings, workshops, and courses.
I offer a range of services designed to make your transition into parenthood smoother and more joyful. From setting up the nursery, assisting with first baths, and caring for multiples to providing circumcision care and reflux support. I'm here to develop healthy sleep routines, assist with breastfeeding, and help transition your baby from breast milk to formula. I also offer lactation education, postpartum support, and multicultural postpartum recovery care.

In addition to my professional credentials, I bring a positive, can-do attitude to every interaction. My love for learning something new every day fuels my work, as does my passion for crafting artisanal soaps, spending time with family and friends, and exploring the great outdoors through travel and camping. I'm an active member of my community, constantly supporting various non-profit organizations and charities.
Above all, I am deeply committed to providing the support you need in this incredible journey of parenthood. My approach is always filled with love and care, and I take immense joy in being around babies, helping them, and their families, in the most formative weeks of their lives. Let's navigate this beautiful journey together, caring with love every step of the way.
