Definitions

I think the best way to start my first blog, is to explain my understanding of a definition. Trying to explain to others what I do generally brings a sigh, a good sigh, from the the listener. It also brings questions like, "Where were you ____ many years ago? I needed you!" etc. I'm not a babysitter and I'm not a nanny. I wear many hats and decided the term a "Baby Professional" describes me best.

One facet I fill as a Baby Professional is defined as a New Mother's Helper, an extended version of a Postpartum Doula, and "someone who helps you be the best Mom you can be". That comes in the form of one-on-one instruction, assistance, tips, etc. So much more than a nanny or babysitter, my focus is on the Mom as well as her bundle of joy. Through years of experience, including specific knowledge I have gained with twins, I have some special insights that even your closest aunt or grandmother will be delighted to find out.

I use the term Baby Professional because that is what I am. Helping Mothers and Babies is not just what I do, it is who I am, and my calling.

Christy was invaluable to me as a new mom. Her regular time in our house helped us learn to be better parents to our daughter. She was especially helpful in menu planning, preparation and education when our little girl started solid foods. I never worried that we were giving her the wrong thing with Christy's guidance. How lucky we were as new parents to benefit from her wisdom, experience, and calm support! --Julie Robbins, Clearwater, FL

Thanks for your sweet words Julie! You're a beautiful mommy & your little girl is blessed to have you.

Julie can be found at www.wombfortwo.com. She invented a pregnancy support pillow system that is absolutely dreamy! I've had the pleasure of trying it out & it was like floating on a cloud!
