About Me
Hey there, I'm Kim
As the proud mother of two smart, amazing boys, owner and founder of Ambiance Sleep Newborn Care Services, I am more than grateful to have fallen upon my greatest passion: working as a Professional Newborn Nanny. My passion to be surrounded by all things baby started on the Grenadines island of Mustique, Saint Vincent, but began to take shape at the age of twenty-three, when I was told it didn’t look possible for me to have children of my own because of a medical condition. Miraculously, I gave birth to my firstborn at age twenty-eight. It was intense, as I experienced serious complications, but life-changing and so breathtaking at the same time. The moment I first laid eyes on my son, I knew that working with babies is where my heart and true passion lie.
For more than twenty years, I’ve been building my expertise through vast experience, striving to continuously learn and remain current on all recommended best practices, while guiding parents and children through those most vital first few years of their lives, helping them lay a solid foundation for healthy growth and development. I have being working primarily with first time parents and children 0-6m (singleton, preemies and multiples) as their Newborn Nanny, and I’m innately attuned to the needs of growing families and took interest in other ways I could support them, hence the birth of Ambiance Sleep Newborn Care Services.
I’m a Master Certified Newborn Care Specialist, New Parent Educator and Sleep Coach in New York City, who’s open to travel, providing daytime, overnight and 24/7 Newborn Care Services and Parental Education. I specialize in newborn and infant care, providing families the support and education they need to thrive from the very beginning. The beauty of aiding families from the first day or weeks of parenthood and seeing their transition into a lifelong love story of learning and growing as a family, is an honor, and I welcome the opportunity to be a proactive partner, working alongside you, while adapting to your family’s individual needs, lifestyle and preferences.
I will be forever grateful and blessed to be celebrating all of your successes, as I help you navigate this exceptional journey, your journey into parenthood. This year, my life’s work was recognized in ways I could never have imagined and I am beyond honored to have been named 2020 Nanny of the Year by the International Nanny Association. When I’m not at work, you can find me exploring New York City or traveling with my sons, my “M + M Chocolates” as I like to refer to them and we can’t wait to welcome you as a treasured member of our family, the “Ambiance Sleep” way.
