Hi, I’m Tayler

Meet Tayler

Nurturing, Tailored Postpartum Support

Every family's needs are unique. I offer personalized support tailored to help you thrive during this precious and transformative time.

  • Newborn Care & Education

    Nurturing, hands-on support as you ease into those first weeks. From soothing to feeding, and everything in between.

  • Feeding Support

    I offer guidance on recognizing your baby’s hunger cues and creating feeding rhythms that work for you and your baby and provide referrals to lactation consultants for specialized support.

  • Household Assistance

    I take care of the little things that make a big difference, like laundry, dishes, organization and tidying, so you can focus on rest and time with your baby. My goal is to create a calmer, more supportive home environment during this transition.

  • Mother Care

    I offer compassionate care for your recovery, ensuring you have time to rest, heal, and be nourished, while also holding open, nonjudgmental space for you to share your birth experience and the emotions that come with it.

  • Multiples & Preemie Support

    With experience caring for multiples and premature babies, I bring calm confidence and specialized knowledge to help your family feel supported and at ease.

  • Nourishing Meals

    I support your recovery with wholesome food, whether by preparing meals fully or helping with meal prep, so you have nourishing options ready when you need them most.

  • Sibling Care

    Care extends beyond the baby, I also nurture and include older siblings and family pets, helping them feel secure and connected as your family grows.

  • Overnight Care

    I provide steady care through the night so you can get the rest you need to function and heal. Knowing your baby is safe and tended to allows you a chance to sleep, recover, and better meet the demands of each new day.

What Families Say

  • When we brought home our twins, life felt like a lot with a busy 3-year-old already at home. Tayler stepped in and provided such calm, nurturing care, not only for the babies, but also forming a beautiful bond with our daughter. She made everyone feel comfortable and supported. Her warmth, knowledge, and gentle presence instantly put us at ease, and I can’t imagine those early days without her. We are forever grateful.

  • Tayler supported me after the birth of my baby girl, while also helping with our 2-year-old son. She didn’t just care for the baby, she cooked delicious meals, helped around the house, and created a calm, judgment-free space during some of the toughest moments. Her presence was such a relief, like having a trusted friend who also happens to be incredibly knowledgeable.

  • When our second daughter arrived, I was so focused on the new baby that I worried about how our older girl was handling it all. Tayler had this beautiful, natural way of making her feel special and included. And all the while, Tayler was taking care of me and the baby too.
