Baby Steps: Postpartum Infant Care

Hello! My name is Kari Kent. I am a registered nurse who lives in Arlington. I have worked in the Neonatal ICU for the past 12 years, as a nurse in the unit for the past 7.5 years. I love working with babies and their families. I have been taking a break from the hospital and I miss my babies! Bringing home a newborn can be stressful on new parents. And as we know, we worry about the health and well-being of our little ones, especially if they've had a stent in NICU. I am offering a postpartum infant doula service in which I would come to your home, watch your little one while you get a nap in, a shower, house chores and/or run a much needed errand. I can also do a physical assessment for your peace of mind, and have experience in breastfeeding assistance, and many other tricks of the trade in comforting your little one I'd love to teach you! I will also be considering night nanny services a couple nights a week, we all know how much good even one night of uninterrupted sleep can do for our mental and physical health during the first few weeks. I have certifications in neonatal resuscitation and basic life support. If this is something you may be interested in, please message me with any questions, pricing or more information.

Also, my assessments and/or suggestions are not to be used in lieu of a medical doctor's. Also, my services are not to be in place of a home health agency for infants requiring critical or long-term care.
