All about me!
One of my favorite Baby poems
I said a special prayer today
to thank God above
for sending you to us,
a miracle of love.
I thanked Him for your little smiles,
for you precious baby sighs,
to thank God above
for sending you to us,
a miracle of love.
I thanked Him for your little smiles,
for you precious baby sighs,
and for every trace of starlight
that twinkles
in your eyes.
I asked Him to watch over and protect you
all of your days,
and as you grow
to guide you
in His perfect
loving ways.
in your eyes.

My professional background and family
I was born and raised in Tampa, Florida
(on Gasparilla Day for those of you from there).
I attended High School and Nursing School there.
I knew right away I wanted to work with newborn babies and did staff relief in the newborn nursery at several local hospitals as a Licensed Practical Nurse. During my third year as a nurse, I was awarded LPN of The Year by one of the nursing agencies I was working for and shortly after, I fell in love with a law enforcement officer from South Florida, got engaged and moved to Miami! I continued to work for nursing agencies after moving to Miami, doing hospital staffing until finding a permanent position in the Newborn Nursery at Humana Hospital in South Broward. When Humana closed its doors several years later, I took a position at Baptist Hospital of Miami, (also in the Newborn Nursery) and worked there for almost 8 years before taking a position at Mercy Hospital of Miami in Labor and Delivery and Newborn Nursery. I worked there for 7 years. I resigned from the hospital to spend more time with my children, taking a part time position in a pediatricians office. I have continued to work in the pediatric office with special emphasis on newborn babies and lactation education. I started doing home visits for newborns as a little side job 14 years ago, and recently went back to school (no easy task after 26 years) to earn my R.N. degree. I am a member of the Healthy Start Coalition of Miami, the International Lactation Consultation Association, the La Leche League International and hold certifications in Basic Life Support, Neonatal Advanced Life Support, Pediatric Advanced Life Support, Breast Feeding Education, and most recently, I completed a course, and passed the state exam to become certified in the state of Florida as a Childbirth Educator. My husband and I celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary in June (2010) and have two incredible children; A daughter, 21 yrs. old, in college at USF in Tampa, (studying to be a psychologist), and a son, 17 yrs. old, in high school with big dreams of becoming a professional baseball player.
If you are looking for a big agency with lots of staff, commitments and down payments, then I may not be the perfect match for you. If however, you are looking for a personal experience with someone that will remember you and your baby, and treat you like family members, then give me a call, this is the kind of business I have.
License, certifications, and references can be emailed upon request, but for privacy, they are not listed on this site.
I have always believed in the "Find What You Love" philosophy,
and encouraged my family & friends to go after their dreams,
(with open minds and hearts) no matter how big they were.
This was the inspiration for my lifelong dream...
A Baby Nurse, LLC.
I hope that I will have the pleasure
of sharing my great love, and knowledge
of babies with you and your family.
