The Angeles Philosophy
As a Certified Newborn Care Specialist and Dean’s List graduate in Child & Family Development and Sociology, I bring a deep, evidence-based understanding of newborn development. With over 8 years of professional experience supporting families, including medical, educational, and private care settings, I specialize in guiding first-time parents through every stage of their baby’s early months with clarity, empathy, and precision.
Newborn care is a thoughtful blend of education, instinct, and empathy. My expertise is built not only from in-home care but also from years of academic study, clinical experience, and continuous professional growth. I’ve supported families in hospital clinics, nursery classrooms, and high-profile private homes, each shaping my ability to adapt, assess, and deliver exceptional, results-driven care.
Through advanced trainings, in-depth seminars, and real case-study analysis, I stay at the forefront of newborn care, from sleep science and safe feeding techniques to reflux, maternal recovery, and developmental milestones. I approach every home with a calm, proactive presence, anticipating needs, guiding routines, and helping families feel empowered, nurtured, and supported.
My role goes far beyond care. I bring clarity, structure, and peace of mind to families during one of the most transformative seasons of life, with a level of professionalism, discretion, and compassion that makes me a trusted partner in your home.
Care is just the beginning.
Core Competencies in Newborn Care
I approach every newborn placement with a strong foundation of core competencies that reflect my commitment to quality care. From safe sleep practices, feeding support, and developmental milestone tracking to nursery organization, soothing techniques, and routine-building, I integrate evidence-based knowledge with hands-on expertise. These skills are not just checkboxes; they are part of the thoughtful, intentional care I provide to ensure every baby and family receives the highest level of support during this special season. I firmly believe that excellence in newborn care is built on consistency, compassion, and precision.
