Newborn Care Specialist
Serving the Greater Sacramento Area
Expert newborn care in the comfort of your home
Bringing a newborn home is magical, but it can also feel overwhelming. There are sleepless nights, constant questions, challenges with feeding and sleeping, even emotional shifts that can lead even the most prepared parents feeling unsure and stressed. You’re learning so much with your baby and your new life all at once.
Having experienced and compassionate help during this time can result in more rest, more confidence, and more space to actually enjoy your baby instead of being in survival mode.
That is where Audrey comes in.

Testamonials
Thanks to Audrey's help I was able to rest and recover, which made a meaningful difference in my physical and emotional well-being during the postpartum period
— LindsayAudrey provided excellent and detailed care for our newborn girl on nights. It is so hard to find someone who would take care of your baby the way that you do, but we found this with Audrey. She made sure that all of our daughters needs were met and having her allows us to be more rested to take care of her in the morning. We also learned a lot about our daughter‘s cues from her and the knowledge she gave us was priceless. Better than we imagined. A great experience all around.”
— Shay and NavAudrey helped us for several weeks when our baby was dealing with reflux and couldn’t sleep on her own at night. It was a huge relief to get some rest knowing that our baby was in good hands. More than that, Audrey helped our baby (and us!) develop better habits that led to significantly improved sleep even on the nights when she wasn’t here. Audrey was fantastic with our daughter: always sweet, calming, and attentive. She is impeccably reliable and easy to work with. We would very happily trust her with our baby again any time, and would recommend her to family and friends.
