Welcome!
My name is Mara

My passion for maternal and infant care grew from my own experience as a first-time mom, and how essential the right support was during the early days of parenthood.

As a trained Newborn Care Specialist, I offer compassionate, practical support to Chicago families, navigating both the expected and the unexpected in early postpartum.

My journey into newborn care began during my own pregnancy, when I was unexpectedly placed on hospital bed rest for the entirety of my third trimester. Though it was a time of uncertainty, it revealed just how vital the right support is – and how much more manageable the journey becomes when you don’t have to walk it alone.

As a Newborn Care Specialist, I aim to make the early weeks of parenthood feel less overwhelming and more supported. My approach is practical, non-biased, and tailor-made to meet your family’s unique needs.

Whether you’re preparing for your baby’s arrival or adjusting to life at home – I work as an extension of your household and am here to offer calm, expert guidance through this  exciting transition.
