Meet Jackie

For Jackie, overnight newborn care is about more than helping parents get a good night's sleep.

It is about bringing a calm, knowledgeable and reassuring presence into the home during one of the most beautiful and often most exhausting seasons of family life.

Jackie provides individualized overnight care based on each baby's developmental stage, temperament, feeding needs and emerging rhythms. She supports families with feeding, soothing, settling, sleep routines and newborn care while respecting each family's parenting choices and preferences.

Her extensive background in child development allows her to look beyond the immediate task of caring for a baby and understand the developmental needs behind a baby's cues and behaviors.

Jackie's approach is never about forcing every baby into the same schedule. She believes babies are individuals, families are different, and good newborn care begins with observing, listening and responding appropriately.

Her goal is simple

  1. Baby is safely and attentively cared for.
  2. Parents are able to rest.
  3. And the entire household feels more supported.

A note from Jackie

Bringing someone into your home to care for your baby overnight requires tremendous trust. I don't take that lightly.

When I arrive at your home, my goal is to bring calm, not more pressure.

I'm not there to replace your instincts as a parent. I'm there to support you as you learn your baby and your baby learns you.

You don't have to navigate every night alone.

Virtual Infant Sleep Support

Practical sleep guidance for real families and real babies.

Not every family needs overnight care. Sometimes parents simply need experienced guidance to understand what their baby is communicating and determine what changes may help everyone get more rest.
