HI! My name is Gerda and I'm as passionate about working with new mothers during their postpartum journey, as I am about caring for their newborns. They go hand in hand. I have more than 20 years experience as a Newborn Care Specialist and Nanny. I'm very proud of my career and worked with dozens of families over the years. I am laid-back, patient, and responsible. I strive to be positive and provide a nurturing environment for the children under my care, as well as to their parents. I'm passionate about continuing my education in childcare and take multiple classes a year. I have certificates in more than 10 areas including NCS, Lactation, Infant Sleep Fundamentals, Postpartum Doula, Postpartum Traditional Practices (Nutrition), etc. I love children of all ages, but my passion is infant and postpartum care. I have excellent references, a clean background and driving record, and am available for travel. I look forward to meeting your family!

Gerda helped me and my husband with our newborn son. She is knowledgeable and patient. She is confident in her skills and took great care of our colicky baby and also was helpful at calming nervous new parents and helping us through the difficult transition into parenthood.
