Why I Do This Work

This work is more than a calling. It’s a legacy.

My grandson, whose birth flower was the water lily, passed away from SUIDs while sleeping in his crib. His life is why I show up every day with unmatched presence, purpose, and devotion.

When I care for your baby, I carry his memory with me. I care with both heart and expertise, giving every family the support I wish he’d had, and every parent the peace I know they deserve.

🪷 Water Lily Newborn Care is named in his honor.
