Newborn Care
As a Newborn Care Instructor, I offer:

  • Classes that come to you!  Newborn care can be taught anywhere.  If you are in the hospital on bed rest and can't make it to a regularly scheduled course, I will be happy to come to your room and have enough resources and supplies to provide a complete class at your bedside, working around your schedule, comfort, and unique family situation.  Or, if you are preparing for your birth and simply prefer a smaller venue where you can know that your questions will be answered and time will be respected, I am also delighted to bring the class to your living room.  Either way, my priorities are to provide a high quality course in an accesible format, with interactive, hands-on, informative, and reassuring information. 

  • Thorough orientation to newborn care skills, including: diapering, feeding, sleeping, clothing, soothing, bathing, how to know when they're sick, normal newborn appearance, what to expect after the birth, interpreting cues and cries, parenting theory and practice, referrals to resources, with hands-on practice and examples

 

  • I teach the class in a 4 hour format.  This can be divided into two individual sessions, or we can do it all in one day. 

  • I charge $150 for the full class.  Included in this fee is continued availability by phone and e-mail, as you come up with further questions, or require clarifications and reminders once your new skills are being put to the test.  If you would like to have me return once your baby is born, to help you apply the newborn care skills that you have learned, I offer my Newborn Care Class clients a 2 hour consultation for $60 (this can be requested as a package with the class itself, and has a $100 value).

  • Throw a Newborn Parenting Party!!  Invite friends, neighbors, and family to come and learn with you in the comfort of your own home!  The initial fee covers up to two people; to share both the knowledge and the savings, add one person for $50, or another couple for $75. 

I accept payment by cash, check, or credit card.
