Meet Shelly Forbes
Co-Founder & Lead Newborn Care Specialist
Shelly Forbes brings a rare combination of experience, intuition, and genuine warmth to her work as a Newborn Care Specialist. With over 11,000 hours of professional newborn care, she is known not only for her technical expertise, but for the calm, reassuring presence she brings into every home
Her journey into newborn care began long before it became a profession. From a young age, Shelly naturally stepped into caregiving roles within her family, supporting siblings, nieces, and nephews, and later raising her own children with deep attentiveness and care. Over time, what began as instinct evolved into a refined practice grounded in both lived experience and professional training.
Families often find that Shelly offers more than support with feeding, sleep, and daily routines; she provides a steady sense of reassurance during what can feel like an overwhelming transition. She works closely with parents to build confidence, offering gentle guidance, practical knowledge, and a calm rhythm that helps bring ease into the home.
Her approach is defined by patience, attentiveness, and an ability to meet each family where they are. Whether supporting first-time parents or integrating into a growing household, Shelly creates an environment where both baby and parents feel safe, supported, and understood.
Over the years, her work has taken her into homes across New York, Houston, Miami, and beyond, often leading to lasting relationships that extend well beyond the newborn stage.
