I created this service to bring a little peace and practical support to families during one of the most tender (and exhausting) times of their lives. I’m a Registered Practical Nurse with over 10 years of experience in postpartum and newborn care, most of it spent working night shifts at Montfort Hospital. I’ve cared for tiny preemies, tired new parents, C-section recoveries, and everything in between—but nothing compares to being there for families in their own homes.
As a single mother, I’ve felt that deep, middle-of-the-night exhaustion. I know how hard it can be to ask for help, especially when you feel like you should be able to do it all. Cradlelight Care was born from that understanding—from my love of showing up gently, consistently, and without judgment when it matters most. I believe every family deserves continuity of care—the comfort of seeing the same calm, capable face that takes the time to understand your baby, your rhythms, and what helps you breathe a little easier, night after night.
Whether it’s feeding, diapering, rocking baby back to sleep, or simply being a reassuring presence while you rest, I’m here to help carry the night.
This is care that helps you exhale.
At Cradlelight Care, my mission is to provide calm, personalized, in-home overnight support for parents and their newborns during the tender weeks of the fourth trimester. This is a time of deep change, where healing, bonding, and learning all happen at once. I offer consistent, compassionate, nurse-led care that meets each family where they are, helping parents rest, recover, and grow in confidence. With a steady presence through the night, I bring peace, reassurance, and the kind of support that helps families feel safe, seen, and supported—one quiet night at a time.

Your recovery matters just as much as your baby's care. In addition to looking after your newborn, I'm here to support your postpartum healing.
Whether you're recovering from a C-section or a difficult birth, I can help by offering:
My presence creates a space for you to rest, recover, and feel supported – with full confidence – while your baby is in safe, caring hands.
Yes, absolutely. As a nurse trained by a lactation consultant at Montfort Hospital, I have strong experience in breastfeeding. I can guide you with positioning, latching, and offer personalized advice based on your needs.
If you prefer to provide expressed breast milk or formula, I can manage feedings independently while you sleep. If you don't have expressed milk, I can wake you for breastfeeding and then take over baby's care afterward, allowing you to fall back asleep more easily.
My knowledge in lactation allows me to support you in your feeding choices while respecting your preferences and your rhythm.
You can book care as soon as you feel ready. Many families reach out during pregnancy to secure their spot. I provide support for newborns during the first 4-6 weeks after birth, with a focus on those delicate early days and nights.
I currently serve families across Ottawa and parts of Gatineau. If you're unsure whether I cover your neighborhood, feel free to reach out for confirmation.
Light tidying is included when time allows—this might be washing bottles, loading the dishwasher, or folding baby laundry. My priority is your baby's care and your rest, but I'm happy to help ease your load where possible.
I am generally comfortable around animals, but for everyone's safety and comfort, I ask to be informed in advance—especially if there are cats in the home, as I am not comfortable around them. This helps me plan for a calm and secure night for your baby and myself. Thank you for your understanding.
