Where it all began…
Infant Bliss began when Jennifer met a Newborn Care Specialist who changed her and her family’s lives.
When Jennifer Strawser found out her first born was going to be two...twins!!, she was immediately overcome by fears that she and her husband wouldn’t be able to handle their new responsibilities—while maintaining their sanity.
“How will I be able to handle everything? When will I sleep? When will my husband sleep? Will it affect his work? Would the novel changes affect our marriage? Am I equipped to handle two babies at once?”
Jennifer’s worries compounded, so she sought advice from a friend who let her in on the secret to successfully and confidently welcoming her bundles of joy into the world—a Newborn Care Specialist. Jennifer hired her immediately.
“I remember feeling amazed and in awe of all that she could do. I felt immediate relief and calm; from the minute she walked through my front door, a sense of content.
Within her first hour with us, she made me comfortable on the couch while she helped me to feed both babies, all the while, keeping my nutrition and health in mind by preparing me a delicious smoothie.
Her support was boundless and evident in all aspects of our families' lives; my baby boys and I felt held, both physically and emotionally.”
Three years later, Jennifer was pregnant with another set of twins! She knew right away that she needed more support. Jennifer met Miriam Ortiz Garcia, “Mim”, a highly-experienced and highly-regarded Newborn Care Specialist and Nanny.
“The love and devotion Mim shared with all of my children was remarkable.”
Mim was truly an exceptional Newborn Care Specialist. She helped Jennifer care for her new babies, as well as her older boys, and ensured that every child was filled with love at all times.
Mim and Jennifer built a strong bond, and Mim became an in-home Nanny for Jennifer’s children for the next 8 years. Though their friendship remained strong, it was time for Mim to move on to a new family who needed support with their newborn baby.
Fast forward many years, Mim was exploring new ways to support many families with newborns, as opposed to only one family for several years, while Jennifer was preparing for her children to leave the nest and pondering her next move in life as well. After being a stay-at-home mom for 18 years, Jennifer was ready to put her business degree to use.
Realizing their individual expertise would blend together beautifully, Infant Bliss was born.
