Care by Laura

Hello

I am Laura

Whether you’re in need of postpartum support, or looking for expert care for your newborn, or just seeking more knowledge on what you and your family can expect and cope with your new baby, I am here to help make this transition as smooth and joyful as possible for everyone in the family.

About Me

After working with children as a caretaker for over 10 years, I decided in April 2020 to take the leap into the birth work industry as a trained Newborn Care Specialist. With each new family I was given the opportunity to work with it became more and more clear to me that this was my calling, this is my purpose. While working with new mothers and fathers, I quickly realized that babies are not the only ones who need special care and attention, parents also need specific support as well, which led me to complete my Postpartum Doula training in April of 2021.

My husband and I live a quiet life on our small ranch in the Morongo Basin. We love to spend our time at the beach or exploring our local mountains and desert hiking trails with our chihuahua. I have a passion for caring for my loved ones, cooking healthy (and not so healthy!) meals for my family and friends.

Services

Postpartum Doula Care

A postpartum doula is someone who provides physical, emotional and informational support to a new mother and their family during the postpartum period, typically from birth until the end of the fourth trimester.

Newborn Care

A newborn care specialist provides expertise in all aspects of newborn care, parental education and support. They care for the newborns while providing guidance and education to the parents. While the parents rest, the newborn care specialist feeds the baby or brings the baby to the mother for nursing; burps, changes, soothes, and puts the baby back to bed.

Testimonials

I truly cannot say enough great things about Laura. If you have the opportunity to hire her to care for your children, I'd recommend it over and over again with zero hesitation. She is kind, warm-hearted, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable. She took phenomenal care of our infant and even our crazy 4 year old when we absolutely needed it. Her selflessness knows no bounds. She went above and beyond. Her expertise is unmatched and she always left my house tidier than when she arrived. She made the transition of 2 kids and returning to work such a breeze because I had no doubts our baby was in the best hands. My only wish is that she would stay forever. She left a lifelong imprint on our hearts and we will be forever indebted and grateful to her for the wonderful care she took of our babies. 10/10 would recommend every single time.

If you have the chance to hire Laura, do it. She was phenomenal with our two-month-old son & made us feel so comfortable leaving him in her care. We always came home to a happy boy and Laura made sure to give us updates throughout the day, she went above & beyond!

I am so impressed with the extra training Laura has undergone to assure that she provides the safest care possible for my baby. I feel comfortable leaving my infant with her, knowing that she can handle any emergency that may come up. Laura also engages with my baby, she doesn't just 'park' her in front of the TV, or in the rocker chair. I felt a bit overwhelmed with my baby, having never been a mom before, but Laura gave me the support I needed to get through that. I hope she will be available for us with our next baby!

Laura was a phenomenal NCS for our son. We look forward to working with Laura again when we return to Palm Springs and would recommend her services to anyone looking for newborn care. Laura was extremely attentive and caring, and she absolutely put our son's needs first. We were able to confidently enjoy our time knowing that he was in great hands and would be well taken care of. Laura was also very easy to work with when it came to scheduling and flexibility. She was always promptly on time and very dependable.

Laura was one of the most reliable people in our lives over that year period and was not only on time ALWAYS, but she always helped to keep us on track with our own lives. She was meticulously organized and accountable which is about the most important traits for someone to have who will be caring for your child. We would gladly recommend Laura for just about any position.
