Gentle guidance and a helping hand when your baby arrives.

Hello! I’m Henriette

About Henriette

When I transitioned into the role of a Newborn Care Specialist, often referred to as a "Baby Nurse," I quickly discovered that my responsibilities extend far beyond simply helping parents achieve much-needed rest. I become an integral part of their support system, which is undeniably a vital component for any family navigating life after a new baby arrives home.

My comprehensive approach is centered on empowering and educating parents through proper guidance and unwavering support. My extensive education and practical experience in newborn care have provided me with the necessary tools and insights to share with clients, ultimately empowering them to become strong, confident, and capable parents long after my services are no longer required.

Best regards,

Our Testimonials

“Henriette has been helping us take care of our son Andre as a Newborn Care Specialist. She’s amazing. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and more importantly just excellent with kids. Both our newborn and toddler took to her instantly. She’s a bright person who has very patient soothing energy. She helped our son sleep longer stretches and helped us create a more sustainable sleep routine. She has a lot of experience and it shows. I was pretty overwhelmed postpartum and Henriette allowed me to heal and be my best self for both my kids. No matter the situation, whether it was me crying or the house being a disaster or my toddler running naked screaming at 9 pm, Henriette never made me feel judged. It’s hard trusting someone with your brand-new baby. But Henriette’s an incredible human being. I feel lucky and very grateful that we were able to have her with us during Andre’s first two months.”

“My wife and I have had the pleasure of working with Henriette Dyer. She assisted our family with our newborn when our 2nd child was born from when he was 2 weeks old to 12 weeks old and I can’t sing enough praises about her. Henriette’s effervescent charm and kind heart were a true joy to have in the house as we got used to having a second child. She has a genuine gift with children. Her extensive knowledge and experience were helpful on many occasions and we learned a lot from her, especially when it came to newborn care. We highly recommend her for any childcare services you need, you can’t go wrong with this gem of a human being and lovely caretaker for your precious little one(s).”

- Former Client, Hermosa Beach CA

“Henriette came highly recommended as a newborn care specialist (baby nurse), and I knew right away from our initial interview that she would be a great fit for our family. Her calm and reassuring demeanor is so comforting at the end of a long day with a fussy newborn. Her experience and advice to figure out certain newborn challenges was invaluable to us. She has been such an enormous help to us, and because of her I feel that my recovery from birth has been faster, and I have been able to get into mom mode much more quickly.”

- Former Client, North Hollywood CA

“Henriette worked with our family as our night NCS from the time we brought our daughter home from the hospital until she was four months old. Henriette is a true expert in all things babies, sleep, and baby sleep. She taught us bathing, diaper changing, bottle feeding, nap scheduling, soothing techniques, and nursery setup. She has an easy and sparkling personality – very important attributes when someone is in your house for twelve hours a day!”

- Former Client, Silver Lake CA

“Being able to count on Henriette to show up was extremely beneficial to relieving the stress of a newborn. Henriette is not only amazing caring for the baby, she provided a wealth of information, knowledge and wisdom for me and my husband as we were first time parents. Henriette’s calming demeanor and delightful charm was a joy to have in our home. We cannot recommend Henriette Dyer strongly enough!”

- Former Client, Studio City CA

“Henriette is deeply committed to her craft. She holds numerous certifications in infant care and even earned her sleep specialist certification while working with us. Her dedication paid off—our daughter was sleeping from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. by 6 weeks old and has continued to sleep soundly ever since. We credit Henriette entirely for this success. She cared for our daughter as if she were her own, and we miss her deeply. If you have the opportunity to work with Henriette, take it. She’s the person you want by your side when bringing your baby home. Former Client, Hollywood Hills, CA — Former Client, Los Angeles CA”
