That bond with your baby, it’s incredible. And you want them with you, but...
The cries, the feedings, the diapers, the rocking—oh, and did we mention the crying? The mere thought of embarking on a plane with an unsettled baby might make you break into a sweat.
Your baby is your universe, but life goes on with work deadlines, career-defining trips, and family vacations. Every moment counts, so your baby is coming along.

Book support
However your family looks, we’re here. We look after all Chicagoland families who need to travel with a newborn.
For the adoptive parents. The two dads. The two moms. The non-binary parents. The surrogate babies. The co-parents. The first-time parents. The mom going back to work. The twin parents. The parents of multiples. The family in business. The international travel family. The mom who has struggled with PMD. The breastfeeding mom. The chestfeeding parent. The bottle-feeding dad. The pumping mom. The combi-feeding parent. The mom who had a traumatic birth. The dad who wants to be a better dad. The stay-at-home dad. The preemies babies. The NICU parents. The list will never be exhaustive, and our support is certainly not one-size-fits-all.
But know, whoever you are, however you identify, you’re fully accepted, supported, and welcome here - under our wing.

THAT BIG MOMENT
We’d Say a Big ‘Yes!’ If...
You want a nurturing, calm presence on your travels to support you with your newborn.
You want to reduce your stress levels during your trip and relax knowing you and your baby are supported.
You wish to enjoy parenting your newborn - even though you have travel commitments.
You expect kindness, compassion, and empathy - someone who will understand the juggle of travel and newborn-parent life.
You demand zero bias, zero judgment, and 100% acceptance of your family’s set-up and traveling circumstances.
You value someone with a deep understanding of your baby's (or babies’) individual and unique needs - whether that be NICU baby, feeding, sleep, or multiples.
You’re in search of someone who respects your choices. Someone who collaborates with you and works by your side during your travels.

Ask if we cover your area
No worries, we totally understand how crucial it is to feed your little one on demand. You go rock that work commitment, and we'll be right around the corner to bring your baby to you. Before the event, we'll chat about a plan together to make sure you feel comfortable and confident every step of the way.
If we could, we'd press the pause button for you, and you could lounge on the couch or catch up on some Z's for a few weeks. But since that's not possible, we'll do the next best thing – we'll support you and take excellent care of your baby. We want you to relax, recharge, and enjoy your travels, all while knowing your baby is in safe and loving hands nearby.
We're very thorough! All our care specialists and doulas come with their own liability insurance and at least three years of professional full-time experience in family homes. We also run a stringent screening process, which includes checking their past experience, speaking with references, and conducting background checks in compliance with all local, state, and federal laws.
