What is a Newborn Care Specialist?

About

Hello! My name is Angie. For the past 22 years, I have had the honor of being a wife and Mama. As a mother of 6 (including twins!), I know what it’s like to be completely overwhelmed and exhausted as a new parent. Postpartum life was overwhelming. I needed support, wisdom, and guidance.

After giving birth to twins, I decided to blend my strengths as both a nanny and a mother to assist new parents during this wonderfully exciting, exhausting, and emotional time.

Since then, I have been blessed to experience that sense of newness four more times. After each birth, I learned anew how raw and tender the postpartum experience is and how critical it is for moms to have a reliable support system.

As a Newborn Care Specialist, I give parents the confidence to successfully and joyfully navigate the many aspects of postpartum care. I provide hands-on, in-home guidance in swaddling, sleep and soothing techniques, breastfeeding and bottle support, and so much more.

My role is to honor your unique family culture, beliefs, values, and philosophies by providing a customized and personal postpartum experience. I am passionate about serving my clients with kindness and respect, supporting the well-being and safety of your entire family with the highest level of postpartum care.

Angie Lerew, Certified Sleep Specialist

Instead, I found out that motherhood is a “you bake it, you take it” kind of deal. The hospital doesn’t even give you a receipt, just your baby and a diaper bag full of welcome coupons. Unfortunately, fifty cents off wet wipes and a visit from the OB 6 weeks later doesn’t give you enough working knowledge to take care of your new tiny human. I remember trying to call my doc at 3 AM in a sleep-deprived, hormonal blur for instructions on how to calm my colicky baby.

Testimonials

Angie was a wonderful night nanny to our first child and provided compassionate and loving guidance to us as new parents when we approached sleep training. Angie is positive, warm, and comforting (both for babies and stressed new parents!) We are now expecting our second child and are planning to use Angie again. We highly highly recommend her for any parent looking for help in those taxing the first few months.

Jamie Robicheaux

Angie was my dream come, true nanny. Reliable, trustworthy, loving, & kind. She provided a nanny service for my twins until the toddler stage. My family and I absolutely adore and recommend Nurturing Nest Newborn Care. As an experienced mom, she went beyond her nanny duties by sharing tips to me as a new mom that I found to be priceless.

Stephanie Milburn

Angie has been taking care of our twin boys 3 times a week since February (they were about a week or 2 old) and is staying until the end of July. We were so nervous about letting someone else handle them but knew we couldn’t do it without the help. She has been more than just a “babysitter”, she truly cares about our boys and has offered us her expertise where we really needed it. She is 100% reliable, always cleans up after a night with the babies, and asks how their days were between her visits. We would have been lost without her and will be so sad when her time with our family is up!

Newborn Care Specialist

You deserve to experience postpartum bliss.

Life after birth is a tender season in which mom needs time to recover and rejuvenate in the midst of caring for her newborn. Sleepless nights, unpredictable hormones, exasperated, bleary, and often unsure early days, and frustrating routines don’t have to be your new normal.

Newborn Care Specialists (NCS) provide several levels of overnight care to help you and your newborn peacefully navigate postpartum life. You might have known the term “night nurse or baby nurse” that was once commonly used, but most aren’t actually “registered nurses”. Newborn Care Specialists are specifically trained to support both mother and baby in the form of tending to a newborn’s nightly needs, while also passing on expert knowledge and tips to parents.

As a certified NCS, Pediatric Sleep Specialist, and mother, my goal is to help clients transition into postpartum life with ease and confidence. I spend anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months with my clients to help establish safe and healthy routines that will benefit both mom and baby.

Throughout my time with your family, I assist in the following areas:

Lactation support for mom
Overnight care of baby
Bottle feeding, bathing, diapering
Specialized sleep training
Establishing health routines
Detection of common newborn health issues such as colic and jaundice
Establishing nighttime routines
Customized training and education for parents
Prepping the nursery

Through overnight care and practical training, I help parents get the knowledge they deserve and the sleep they need to experience harmony and connection within the household.

Pediatric Sleep Specialist

Sleep is essential to the health of both newborns and parents. Consistent rest helps keep postpartum depression and anxiety at bay, and it all starts with establishing great sleeping habits for your baby.

With over 22 years of experience, I help parents establish gentle sleep patterns that cater to your baby’s age, temperament, and even your unique parenting style.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to sleep training, which is why I consult with parents to develop a gentle, customized approach. I coach you and your partner to uncover the best and most tender way to help your child fall asleep on his or her own and sleep for long stretches at night. In the end, you and your baby get the rest you need.
