I am a professional Postpartum Doula / Newborn Care Specialist trained and certified by Childbirth International. I provide Postpartum Doula services and continuing newborn care in a nurturing and loving manner during nights/days, with a supportive and non-judgmental attitude to mothers and families, throughout San Francisco and the Bay Area.
I was born and raised in the Czech Republic, Europe. I am a college graduate with a degree in Administrative Business and Accounting, and have a Certificate in International Business from Berkeley, California. While I was in college, I worked as a personal nanny caring for babies and toddlers in clients? homes. After acquiring my business certificate, I went on to train as a Postpartum Doula, satisfying my first love of nurturing newborns.
I have had extensive experience working with newborns, infants and toddlers in the USA for over nine years. In addition, I lived and worked as a nanny for over two years in Israel and for another two years in Austria. I had the great and enriching opportunity to work and get to know many families and their so different parenting methods and as well as their cultures.
I am constantly updating my education and monitoring the latest trends in nutrition and baby/child development such as breastfeeding/lactation, baby sleep consulting, infant sign language, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), etc.
My work is my passion! I love babies and children. It gives me enormous satisfaction to earn the trust of babies' and become a part of their lives. I am honored to work in this field that is so full of life and love. Helping Moms and their partners and families through the postpartum period is very rewarding. I feel fortunate to be part of their lives.
I pride myself on nurturing moms, babies and families with endless support and assistance, as families adjust to having a new baby in the house, and all the new endeavors and challenges this new life involves.
I have a passion for helping families experience the joy a newborn brings to every home, and love to share my experience, knowledge, and enthusiasm.
