About Tara Schields

Driven by a deep passion for newborn care, I transitioned from years as a nanny to becoming a dedicated Newborn Care Specialist and postpartum doula. With over two decades of hands-on experience and specialized training, I provide expert support tailored to each family's unique needs. My expertise spans multiples (twins, triplets, quintuplets), premature and medically fragile infants, G-tube management, severe reflux, feeding aversions, and tongue ties, ensuring compassionate and knowledgeable care for even the most complex situations.

I have supported families both across the U.S. and internationally, seamlessly adapting to diverse cultural settings, household dynamics, and expectations—whether on land or at sea. My experience includes working in a variety of home environments, from intimate family settings to formal, fully staffed residences. Regardless of location, I deliver expert newborn care while honoring each family's parenting philosophy with the utmost professionalism.

I am available for overnight and 24/7 roles and hold Trustline certification. I stay up to date on vaccinations and renew my CPR and First Aid training every two years. With a blend of expertise and adaptability, I provide top-tier care, ensuring a calm and supportive start for every family I serve.
