Julia do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, gender expression, age, ability, marital status, or sexual orientation.

Julia comes to your home in the early morning so you can sleep in and catch up on the hours you missed overnight. She takes care of your baby until you’re ready to wake and gets your coffee started so you can face your day fresh. Before she leaves, you get to sit down with Julia to ask questions and talk about what she observed while with your baby. Dawn shifts are typically 6 hours starting between 6am-9am.
If you notice evenings becoming chaotic or stressful, your family would likely benefit from a dusk visit from Julia. She arrives in the late afternoon to take care of your newborn so you can focus on connecting with your partner/older siblings, dinner time, and getting to bed on time. She gets baby settled for bed and brings the baby (or the monitor) to you, before letting herself out. Dusk shifts are typically 6 hours.
Overnights are reserved for families wanting to clock in deep, restorative rest. Julia arrives around 8pm to your home where you share the day’s highlights or discuss any concerns, a plan is made for feeds and goals, and you head to sleep for the night. Julia tends to all baby’s needs during the night and can either bring baby to a nursing parent or bottle feed. Baby’s needs are first priority, and as long as they are happy she takes care of baby laundry, bottle and pump part washing, and restocking baby stations. Before letting herself out in the morning, she quietly brings baby or the monitor to your bedroom, leaving you to continue sleeping!
