EXPERIENCE
• I learned an extraordinary amount as a learning therapist treating a little boy with autism. • As a nanny for over six years and most recently as a post partum doula I've provided care and support for: families with first-time parents and families with older siblings; parents with multiples and single-child families; families who had wonderful births and families who felt traumatized by their births; families brought together by adoption; single-parent families and families with close-knit extended families; families coping with grief and loss; blended families; two-mom and two-dad families; breastfeeding families and bottle-feeding families; families with one stay/work-at-home parent, and families with two go-to-work parents; teen parents and older parents; families who keep kosher; parents who hand-wash their children's cloth diapers, and kids who wear disposables; co-sleeping and sleep-training families; parents whose adjustment to parenthood appeared seamless, and parents who struggled with post-partum depression. It seems no matter what the spectrum, I've cared for families at either end and everywhere in between, with one exception: I've never provided care for a family who did not inspire, inform and ultimately transform me.
