Your Partner in Navigating New Parenthood
"It takes a village."
Raising a newborn can be overwhelming, and Tender Luv Nu-Born Care offers the support new parents need by providing a compassionate team of baby nurses and overnight doulas. The personalized postpartum services ensure that new parents are not alone in their journey, receiving expert guidance on everything from sleep conditioning to breastfeeding. By offering a helping hand around the clock, the business creates a supportive community, reminding parents that it truly does take a village to nurture a child and navigate the early stages of parenthood.
Born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago, I’ve been living in Los Angeles for thirty-one years and supporting families here as a postpartum doula and baby nurse for thirteen years.
When I had my own first child, my grandmother stepped in as my doula. She shared her wisdom on ancient remedies that have helped postpartum mothers for centuries, sparking a passion in me to care for others as she had for me.
I began working as a baby nurse with families all over the city in 2009 and fully committed to my calling in 2011, finding my client exclusively from past clients referring my business services.
Since then, it’s been my pleasure to utilize my passion every day: supporting my clients on their journey as new parents, helping them care for their babies with empowerment and confidence.
As a devoted mother of two and a wife to my husband, my biggest supporter, I have embraced my passion for helping families. My journey has transformed me into a keen listener, attuned to the subtle sounds and cues of newborns, enabling us to better understand their needs. Having experienced abandonment as an infant, I aspire to open a home for abandoned newborns and provide guidance to teen moms, displaced pregnant mothers seeking support in establishing routines with their little ones. I am excited to continue my work as a postpartum doula, making a positive impact on families for many years to come.
Business Manager + Postpartum Doula
Also hailing from Trinidad, I draw upon my extensive managerial background to run the administrative side of TLNC.
When I moved to the US, I found my passion for business management building a restaurant from the ground up. I migrated to the corporate world, managing and working in customer service for FedEx and AT&T for many years.
One day, my baby-whispering good friend of thirty years, Roxanne, invited me to manage the business side of TLNC. To truly understand the doula’s work, I attended a training through DONA and began shadowing Roxanne as she served her clients.
Doula work was deeply humbling for me because it wasn’t about processes or hitting goals; it was about giving of myself from the heart and being present. It called me to slow down, observe, counsel and most importantly listen.
Listening attentively to both parents and babies is the heart of our work: I became a better listener as they each communicated their needs, learning to tailor my service to their unique journey.
Today, I’m the administrative backbone of TLNC. I run client interviews, scheduling, payments and connect parents with the right doula for their family.
We’re part of a diverse group of postpartum doulas who refer one another to connect with clients, working to create the supportive village that growing families need to thrive. Even if we’re not the doulas for you, we can help you find the right fit.
