Safe and nurturing care for your new bundle of joy in the Twin Cities
About Me
Carissa Simonson
Hi! I'm Carissa and I have been in the childcare industry for over 11 years. I have completed Newborn Care Specialist courses through Newborn Care Solutions. I began as an infant nanny in Phoenix, AZ until I moved to the Twin Cities area a few years ago and started pursuing my newborn care career! I have experience with both singletons and twins! I am CPR/First AId certified.
My Mission
Welcoming a new baby is beautiful, emotional, and often overwhelming. As a certified newborn care specialist, I’m here to provide education, guidance, hands-on support, and peace of mind during those precious early days. I partner with families to help establish healthy routines, encourage restful sleep, and offer support that fits your family's needs.
Testimonials
"I highly recommend Carissa! We loved having her with us for the first few months! My husband reffered to her as 'the cheat code to newborns"
"Carissa was a saint to getting us through the first few months; especially having to wake up early with a toddler"
"Carissa was so great to work with as our NCS, she kept such good care of our baby overnight and having the extra set of hands in the morning helped to focus on our toddler. Highly recommend her services to other families looking for some extra sleep!"
"I am thrilled to recommend Carissa, who worked with our family as a newborn care specialist. She was highly professional, incredibly knowledgeable, dependable, and genuinely caring in her role.
From the beginning, Carissa gave us a definite sense of comfort and confidence. She handled her work with seriousness and skill, and it was clear that she truly knows infant care well. Infants are her passion and her career is dedicated to them. During the nights she supported us, we always felt our baby was in very good hands given her level of experience and training. "
"We were very much in need of good night of sleep and someone to bounce thoughts and ask “is this normal newborn behavior”. Carissa reassured us and gave us new ideas to help care for our baby.
Carissa is a great communicator, professional, and I’ve always felt incredibly comfortable with her watching our newborn at night and his continued growth as he grew out of the newborn trenches. I highly recommend Carissa!"
"Carissa was comfortable and confident with our newborn. Carissa was also a big help with newborn related cleanup. We enthusiastically recommend Carissa!"
