About Me

MEET KAREN
Hi I'm Karen, your Newborn Care
Specialist in the New York area.
KradleKare was in 2020. My journey into this work is deeply personal—born from my own experiences as a mother navigating the joys and challenges of new parenthood. After experiencing undiagnosed post-partum depression, I realized how critical compassionate, and knowledgeable support is during the postpartum period. I knew then that I wanted to be the kind of resource I had once needed.
At KradleKare, we provide personalized, heart-centered care that empowers parents during one of the most transformative times in their lives. From prenatal guidance to postpartum support, I work closely with each family to create a nurturing environment tailored to their unique needs and parenting goals. My mission is to help parents feel confident and cared for as they embark on this incredible journey.
You don’t have to navigate new parenthood alone. Let’s work together to make this transition one of joy, confidence, and empowerment.

How It Started: My Journey to Becoming a Newborn Care Specialist


My name is Karen, and I am a Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) with over 15 years of experience. I later on became a certified postpartum doula (PPD) and a lactation educator. My passion for this work stems from a deeply personal place, and I want to share my story with you because I understand the challenges and joys of motherhood in a way that only someone who has walked a similar path can.
I was born and grew up in Jamaica West Indies. I migrated to the United States in on 20’s and lived in Queens for a number of years diverse community in New York, where I attended Mico Practicing School for my primary and junior high education. Later, I pursued my studies in Human Resources at Lehman College University of New York and Business Administration at SUNY Westchester Community College. These educational experiences equipped me with the skills to understand and support people in various stages of their lives, but it was my personal journey that ignited my passion for newborn care.
As a woman, I have always been aware of the unique challenges that come with motherhood, especially when navigating the complexities of raising a child in a multicultural family. My personal experience has given me a profound empathy for the diverse needs and experiences of the families I work with.
I became a Newborn Care Specialist because I wanted to provide the kind of compassionate, personalized support that I wish I had during my own journey into motherhood. I know firsthand how overwhelming those early days can be, filled with both joy and uncertainty. That's why I am dedicated to offering expert care and emotional support to mothers and babies during life’s most precious moments.
From prenatal guidance to postpartum assistance, I work closely with each family to create a personalized routine that meets their unique needs and parenting goals. I prioritize your comfort and confidence, ensuring a smooth, loving transition into parenthood. Because your newborn & well-being are our driving force and no two babies—or families alike.
I am here to help you navigate this special time with the care and understanding that only someone who truly understands your journey can provide. Together, we can make the transition into parenthood a beautiful and empowering experience.
