Certified Newborn Care specialist. For over 20 +years I have dedicated my focus and time to improving my skills and knowledge for newborn care. Some families have described me indispensable. In my profession it is not only important to be adaptable and reliable, but it is a newborn care specialist's duty to guide families through a lifestyle transitional period when introducing new members to the family. I provide parents with non judgmental support and educate them on the changing dynamics of their family by fostering positive and nurturing environments for the entire family. I take tremendous pride in my caregiving skills by maximizing the support system and watching children thrive and develop. When I am not caring for newborns or mentoring children you can find me listening to music or spending quality time with my family.

Adela is amazing. She worked with my family for a year and a half as both a newborn care specialist and a nanny. The first night we brought my four-week premature son home from the hospital, Adela was there to help us. She helped us get our newborn on a great sleep schedule from the start and with her help he was sleeping through the night before he turned three months. When I went back to work, she transitioned from nighttime newborn care specialist to full time nanny for our little guy. She is so knowledgeable about child play and development. I always felt comfortable when our son was with her and would frequently turn to her for advice. In addition to her great qualifications, she is sweet, friendly, and nurturing. She helped me through postpartum with such care. When our daytime schedules changed, we parted ways and Adela returned to being a full time newborn care specialist. She is a part of our family still and we still have her help with our son from time to time. Whatever role you are looking for Adela to fill, she will be great with your kids and be a big help.
