Meet Kendra
Registered Nurse. Mom of Three. Newborn Caregiver.
A Tender Beginning. Compassionate Care. Clinical Expertise.
Hi, I'm Kendra.
I'm a Registered Nurse currently working Labor & Delivery, Postpartum, and Pediatrics. I have a genuine passion for caring for newborns and supporting families during one of life's most meaningful transitions.
Becoming a mother myself deepened my appreciation for just how beautiful—and demanding—the postpartum period can be. I understand the exhaustion that comes with those first nights, the constant questions that come with caring for a newborn, and how much reassurance it can mean to have an experienced professional by your side.
I created Tender Beginnings Newborn Care to provide families with something I believe every new parent deserves exceptional care, personalized support, and the opportunity to truly rest.
My approach combines clinical nursing expertise with the warmth and attentiveness every newborn deserves. I respect that every family has their own preferences, routines, and parenting philosophy, and I tailor my care accordingly while always prioritizing newborn safety and evidence-based practice.
From providing overnight support during your hospital stay (hospital permitting), after delivery, to caring for your newborn in the comfort of your home, my goal is to make your transition into parenthood feel a little more peaceful and a lot more supported.
When you welcome me into your family's home, you're not simply hiring ordinary overnight help.
You're gaining an experienced Registered Nurse, a mother, a knowledgeable newborn caregiver, and a trusted source of support during the tender beginning of your family's newest chapter.
With care,
Kendra M.
