Colleen Jeffries

Postpartum Care & Lactation Support in Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn

Hey there,

I started working with growing families as a nanny which made me intimately familiar with the beauty and chaos that comes with new life. I pride myself on jumping into the cadence of your family and providing the specific support that you need. Whether you are currently pregnant and preparing for what your postpartum needs may be or thoroughly in the thick of it, I will meet you where you are and help you bloom where you are planted.

Birth is a moment,

postpartum is forever.

“Colleen was indispensable in the first month after we got home from the hospital. She was great with our baby, able to help teach us soothing techniques and other tidbits we didn't know we needed. He was extremely fussy and having Colleen as a resource was a great comfort in caring for him and ourselves as brand new parents. Having overnight support was huge, and Colleen was a source of calm and comfort in a very tough time.” - Kate

“Her warmth, patience, and unwavering dedication have made her an exceptional caregiver. She has not only provided excellent physical care but has also nurtured my son's emotional and cognitive development. One of Colleen’s greatest strengths is her ability to support new parents. She was instrumental in helping us navigate the challenges of newborn care, sleep schedules, baby-led weaning, potty-training, etc. Her knowledge and expertise were invaluable, and she always made us feel confident in our parenting decisions. I wholeheartedly recommend Colleen without hesitation, any family who gets to work with her is extremely lucky.” - Lauren

“Colleen worked with us during a particularly stressful time of our transition into parenthood, and having her company and guidance was a delight. She was very caring and wonderful with our baby, and gave us very good pointers about tummy time, baby's health issues, how to think about parenthood, and more! I strongly recommend her!” - Alize

“Thank you so much Colleen!! I can never thank you enough for the calm, loving, supportive, funny, joyful energy you brought to our home in the early days of Joni! You really helped me transition into motherhood with confidence. I am forever grateful!” - Sabrina

“Colleen was wonderful looking after our new born in 2022 and then when she was 2.5 years just recently. Very happy and confident to leave her with Colleen who is very knowledgeable when it comes to babies and is also such a joy to be around” - KW. Travel Client
