Hi, my name is Kirsten McCormick Giarra
I am a Newborn Care Specialist, baby and young child Sleep Expert and a Birth Doula. I was born and raised in New Jersey and graduated from Ramapo College of N.J. with a Bachelor’s Degree in Law and Society.
I currently travel all over the country helping families transition into their new roles of parenting. When their children are ready, I help them sleep through the night.
I have been taking care of children for 15+ years, but in 2016, I changed my focus to newborns. Over the last 6 years, I have helped more than 50 families welcome their new additions and gain back their nights of sleep.
If you and your family are looking for guidance during this new and exciting time, reach out for a free consulation .
