Hi, I’m Julia

I offer early parenting support around, sleep, nervous system calm & post partum recovery for tired families.

I’ve spent over 10 years supporting families through the newborn stage and early years, including owning and running my own nanny agency. I hold a Bachelor of Education in Early Childhood Education and a Certificate in Infant & Child Sleep Consulting.

I understand how overwhelming this season can feel — the exhaustion, the mental load, and the constant wondering if you’re doing it “right.”

That’s why I offer two types of support: gentle sleep guidance when you need a plan, and in-home support when you need extra hands in your home.

How can we help?

In home support

The postpartum period can feel overwhelming, especially without a village nearby.

Our in-home sessions are designed to take the pressure off your day, giving you time to rest, reset, and feel supported.

During our time together, I can:

  • Care for your baby while you rest

  • Help with light household tasks, (like the washing pile, changing the sheets)

  • Prep simple meals or run errands

  • Offer a calm, supportive space to talk and reset

Each session is shaped around what you need most.

Available across Auckland, including Franklin.

Not postpartum but feeling the mental load? You’re welcome here too.
