Welcome!

Hi, I’m Carmelina, early childcare specialist and new parent coach. I help families feel supported, confident, and empowered as they navigate the early stages of parenthood.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure whether you're doing it right, you're not alone. The early days of parenting are filled with love, uncertainty, and constant questions. It’s a big transition and it doesn’t come with a manual.

With over 30 years of experience, I’ve guided families through everything from sleep struggles and feeding challenges to creating calm and sustainable daily rhythms. My approach combines professional training with hands-on experience, offering support that is practical, personalized, and rooted in empathy.

Together, we focus on what matters most. Soothing your baby, understanding their cues, building healthy routines, and helping you feel more in control and better equipped.

You don’t need perfection. You need reassurance, clear guidance, and someone who understands what you are going through.

I am here to walk with you and give you the tools and support to feel truly empowered in your parenting journey.

My Journey

  • A photo of a smiling woman with two young children, one wearing a striped shirt and the other a colorful hat, seated outdoors near a table with a checkered tablecloth. Text below reads: 'Becoming a parent changes everything. But no one hands you a guidebook for the chaos, questions, and sleepless nights.'
  • Two children walking on a sidewalk with matching dragon-themed backpacks, one holding a yellow umbrella, text below reflects on motherhood.
  • Vintage family photo with a woman, a child, and a man standing together at an amusement park.
  • Two women and a toddler posing in front of a house. One woman wearing a dress holds the child. Text about discovering a grandmother's role as a midwife is overlaid.
  • A woman and a baby face each other affectionately in an outdoor setting. The image is accompanied by a heartfelt quote about motherhood. Floral decorations embellish the corners.
  • A woman and a young girl sitting at a table doing arts and crafts. The girl is painting, and a quote about parenting is below the image.
  • A woman sitting on the pavement with a child, both facing away, near a grassy area. The image is framed with decorative elements and a parenting-themed message below.

What To Expect When We Work Together

Step 1: Let's Talk

We start with a free discovery call.
It’s a no-pressure, get-to-know-you chat where you can share what’s on your mind, your hopes, and what kind of support you’re looking for.

Step 2: Personalized Support Plan

Your family is unique. Your support should be too.
After our call, I’ll create a tailored plan based on your goals and your baby’s temperament. We’ll focus on what matters most—sleep support, prepping before the baby arrives, routines, or emotional reassurance.

Step 3: Ongoing Guidance

I’ll walk you every step of the way, not just give you a checklist and wish you luck.
Expect thoughtful check-ins, easy-to-follow steps, and the kind of encouragement that sticks. Think of me as your parenting sounding board, sleep translator, and gentle guide.

Most of All: A Safe Space

There’s no such thing as a silly question here.
You deserve support that meets you with compassion, not comparison. Whether you’re feeling confident or completely unsure, I’ll meet you right where you are.
