Newborn Care Experience Overview
Hi! Thank you for considering Heather with Got Newborns LLC to watch over your precious little one(s) at this very special time of transition in your life. Throughout the years Heather has pursued education in Social, Human, and Abnormal Psychology, Family Theory, Child, Adolescent and Human Development. Because each family is unique, she has enjoyed experiencing a range of child rearing philosophies, leading to a continually adjusting balanced approach. "I see life as a learning experience and I learn and improve myself with each family I have the blessing of working with. I am grateful to the many families who have become a wonderful part of my life and contributed to who I am today!"
In exploration of her love for babies, children, and families, Heather took several child development courses towards an Associates degree and decided to major in family science at the University. In 2005 Heather graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in “Marriage, Family, and Human Development.” After working with preemie triplet babies her heart lead her to further my education into newborn care. In 2009 she became an NCSA Certified Newborn Care Specialist and has served as board member of the NCSA (Newborn Care Specialist Association) ncsainfo.com
Heather has experience working with children of all ages, but now focuses on newborns, multiples and preemies. Some of the special needs she's worked with are eosinophillic esphagitus, cardiac kids, social behavior issues, speech delays, torticollis, and autism spectrum disorder. Heather is also experienced with the Apnea monitor, and is First Aid/CPR Certified.
