NewboRN Solutions

My husband and I had an infant CPR class in our home with our nanny this summer and it was awesome. CPR on a small child is a terrifying prospect and it felt good to be able to practice in our home setting, with a patient teacher who was able to give individualized feedback. Our teacher, Dana, also spoke Spanish (as a complete bonus!) and was able to translate on the fly for our nanny. Easy to schedule, high quality service — I highly recommend.

My husband and I are first time parents and we did the baby boot camp through Newborn Solutions. It was a full day of classes designed to go over in small bites how to care for your new baby. Everything from bathing to breastfeeding to car seat installation was covered. It was so nice to do it all in one day versus going to a class each weekend over the course of months at the hospital. I priced it out and it was hundreds of dollars cheaper to do it this way as well.

We recently met with Lactation consultant Lauren Silva after struggling with breastfeeding our 2 week old. We introduced bottle feeding before having breastfeeding established after she lost weight. We then had hard time getting her back to breastfeeding. I felt discouraged and her pediatrician gave us information for newboRN solutions. Lauren is calm, knowledgable, non-​judgmental, and genuinely interested in reaching our goals. Our newborn, with Lauren’s assistance, quickly got back to breastfeeding and Lauren has remained available to support us via email. My husband was skeptical about meeting with a lactation consultant and was also so grateful and impressed with Lauren.

Our CPR class with Kelly was the best I’ve ever attended. This is probably my sixth CPR class but Kelly by far has the most passion and attention I’ve seen in an instructor.

I cannot recommend the CPR and choking class highly enough. Kelly was engaging, knowledgeable, and able to connect with each participant despite a wide variety of personalities and backgrounds. I ended the class feeling prepared, and I know my friends did as well. Moreover, you cannot beat the convenience of someone coming to your home!

Had a great session with Kelly who showed us the basics of CPR. She was thoughtful and attentive and entertaining, plus she dealt with the fact that we had four babies in between us all (group class), which probably made things go a little slower.

What a great CPR training we had from Kelly R!
Not only was she professional, clear and concise, she also made it fun and we learned hands-​on how to do CPR and help someone who is choking. Kelly made sure we did it correctly and she answered many questions. This training was the highlight of my week.
Get a group of friends and schedule a training today! You will feel much more confident about helping in an emergency situation.

Highly Recommended!
Signed up for the Prepared Parent (CPR and Emergency Care Class) for four people — two soon-​to-​be parents and two soon-​to-​be-​grandparents. Wendi was great! She came to our house to teach the class (BONUS: as I am 38 weeks pregnant). The class was very informative and included hands on CPR practice. Even though we all had some previous CPR training, the refresher on current CPR and Choking rules was definitely needed. The Emergency Care portion of the class was also great as she teaches you when to be concerned and when not to be — for example, «normal» behaviors vs. «emergency» behaviors in infants.
After taking Wendi’s class, I feel much more prepared in case of emergency. I would highly recommend this class to anyone looking for infant CPR and infant emergency care classes.

I’m due in two weeks. I’m huge. I’m emotional.
I happened to see a post about an AT HOME prenatal massage from NewBoRN Solutions on a mothers group forum that I read. It seemed too good to be true. The price was affordable and the offer was from a reputable company with excellent reviews. I IMMEDIATELY sent an email and booked an appointment for the very next day.
Erika showed up to my condo on time and was extremely professional. She asked all the right questions about my comfort level and had all the materials needed to have a great massage. She has worked with pregnant women extensively and could tell how well I hadn’t been sleeping and the areas of my body that needed the most work. I’m so out of touch with my body at this point so it was SO nice that she was able to find my problem areas for me. I’ve already scheduled another massage for next week.
On another positive note, I emailed Wendi (the owner I presume) about suggestions regarding a nanny and other services. She promptly replied to me and has been so incredibly helpful. Not only was my massage amazing, NewboRN Solutions has been a great resource for me as soon to be first time mother. I will be sure to use more of their services in the future.

Awesome! A friend (with 9 month old twins) organized a group of about a dozen moms, dads, and nannies on a Sunday. Not only did we all learn critical information in child safety and care — we also had a great time with Wendi and Kelly. We did infant/​child CPR and emergency care classes — the CPR and choking classes are obviously so important. My favorite part was learning from these experienced and amazing nurses how best to take care of a sick kid — from simple fevers to the stomach flu to broken bones. They also taught us some great ER tips — how to get seen faster, how to be patient, and when to really worry. They are both moms themselves, so can absolutely relate to being a parent vs being a care professional. They even shared a secret diaper rash cream recipe with us (that has since worked wonders at our house).
To top it off, Wendi and Kelly encouraged us to reach out to them with any other questions or issues after the class. While clearly they (unfortunately) cannot be our personal on-​call nurses, it is so nice to know that they are willing to be a resource in the future if we need them.
The day was about 4 hours — and by the end I didn’t want it to be over. Get a bunch of friends together and make a day of this — you will not be sorry!

I really can’t say enough good things about Newborn Solutions! My husband and I are expecting our first baby in just a few short weeks and wanted to make sure we got in some infant CPR training before the baby gets here. The hospital had given us some recommendations for where we could go, but some of them were out of business, some were crazy expensive, and others had times and/​or locations that just wouldn’t work with our busy schedules.
I stumbled onto Newborn Solutions on Unilocal and decided to book a session since they are certified with the American Red Cross and come right to your home. We had a session with Kelly who is also a registered nurse and she was absolutely fantastic. She actually trained us on adult CPR as well as infant CPR which was great as some of the practices had changed for adult CPR since my husband and I had learned it years ago. We watched some video clips, practiced on each other for the adult session, and got to practice on the dolls as many times as it took to make us feel comfortable. Since it was just the three of us I felt comfortable asking all of the stupid questions I probably would have been too shy to ask in a classroom setting. She also took a look around our home and gave us tips on which surfaces would be best suited for CPR should we ever need to do it on our child.
Book an appointment with Newborn Solutions — you won’t find better service anywhere else!

Fantastic, all around. We decided to refresh our CPR knowledge because our third child is now on the move, and with two other kids it is just not possible to keep our floors totally clear of choking hazards. The CPR methods have changed and are so much easier to follow now than the old ways.
It was easy to schedule an appointment (online!) and easy to do — someone comes to your home. We did it after the kids were asleep at night and we included our kids’ two caregivers. Kelly was our instructor and we found her to be super thorough and very helpful. I love this.

I just took their CPR class and thought it was fantastic. I have a 3 year old and another on the way so wanted to refresh my CPR skills. In the 2 hour class I learned so much. I am hopeful I will never have to use these skills but now feel confident I could help my toddler, infant on the way or adult who needed CPR or was choking. The teacher was great and answered questions but kept the class moving. As a nurse and mom, she had real world experience, practical advice and a great teaching manner. I would highly recommend this class.

With enough to worry about during the 9 months, there’s one thing that shouldn’t be stressful or difficult — getting the information you need. And as first time parents-​to-​be, NewboRN Solutions is the best decision we’ve made on this journey so far.
We’ve taken a classes in a group setting at hospitals, but they simply can’t compare to the amount of information, personal attention, and convenience that NewboRN Solutions provided. And the cost difference compared to the large classes? Negligible, once you factor in driving, parking, and the hassle of having the leave the house… and compared to all of the invaluable personalized information you get with an in-​home visit.
We took 3 courses: Infant/​Child CPR, Infant/​Child Emergency Care, and Newborn Care, all taught by highly qualified nurses who were experienced mothers as well. We had Wendi for the CPR and Emergency care class, and found the class informative, and most importantly, engaging, with many opportunities for hands-​on training. Monica provided the training for Newborn Care, taking us through the basics every new parent needs to know and even looked through our equipment to provide customized advice.
They were flexible, worked around our schedule, and were generous with their time, going over their allotted time if we needed more information. They were timely in following up with additional information we requested after the classes. The warm, personal, and engaging style of the classes provided us with skills and confidence to make this life-​changing transition much less daunting, and I highly recommend their classes to any expecting parent.

My husband and I are first time expectant parents, with almost zero experience with babies. We came across NewboRN Solutions via Golden Gate Mother’s Group, and loved the idea of learning from Registered Nurses in our own home — it sounded like a fantastic alternative to the classes offered by our hospital.
We weren’t disappointed! Wendi organized three classes for us: Newborn Care and Breastfeeding Basics with Monica, Infant/​Pediatric CPR with Kelly, and Infant/​Child Emergency Care with Wendi herself.
Wendi, Monica, and Kelly were all amazing. Being taught by Registered Nurses with a ton of experience, we felt like we were getting the «inside info». We loved that we were able to ask as many questions as we wanted, something that I don’t think we would’ve felt quite as comfortable with in a larger class environment.
By the end of our classes, we both felt much more confident, and would highly recommend NewboRN Solutions to other expectant parents.

Kelly was the best! She was very knowledgeable, hands on, nice, warm and she made learning exciting. I would totally recommend her!

With such busy days, it’s great to be able to have a Registered Nurse come to ones house to teach one how to respond quickly, calmly, and rationally in a medical emergency. As a new nanny, I was eager to refresh my knowledge of how to perform CPR, but with memories of learning the method in High School in a big class, I was concerned I wouldn’t get the individual attention needed to truly become confident in my abilities. And this is where Wendi comes in: By coming to ones very own home, she makes the learning experience stress-​free and comfortable. In fact, her bubbliness made it seem like I was being taught by a friend, which made me more comfortable to ask questions galore, which she always thoroughly answered. In particular, I enjoyed hearing her own experiences– Stories always make the learning process more fun, right?!
Bottom line, I highly recommend Wendi as an educator; her energy is great, her knowledge is rich, and she’ll leave you feeling confident and ready to tackle any emergency situation.
Thanks, Wendi!

A nurse who does educational house-​calls! What’s not to love? It’s like getting our own private baby-​prep tutor. We learned infant & child CPR in our living room after work in about 2 hours from an experienced nurse. Every question was answered. She talks fast, packs every minute with useful information, doesn’t waste time. I feel really confident now that I would know what to do if my child (or any child) started choking, passed out, turned blue, or stopped breathing. Also, I’m no longer afraid of breaking a rib. This was so worth it. If you have to learn CPR (or anything else baby-​child related), this is the way to go. There’s no way I’m going to schlep across town for a class if I have the option of someone coming to me.

After having our 2^nd child last year, we finally decided that it was time to make sure that we (my husband and I) and our kids primary care-​givers were CPR certified.
We were referred to Newborn Solutions by Golden Gate Mother’s Group and we were not disappointed. Wendi’s colleague, Renee, trained 5 of us in about 2 hours. Renee was enthusiastic, approachable and informative. The intimate class size really allowed each of us not only to listen and learn, but to participate. We all walked away confident in our infant/​child CPR training.
We will definitely use them again in 2 years when we need to be re-​certified.

Probably the only time my penny pinching self will say that I’m glad I spent money on something I hope to never have to use.
Wendi is knowledgeable, informative and sweet, that along with the small size of the class truly helped me learn about child CPR vs feeling lost and overwhelmed in a larger less personal class setting.
Sure there are reasons not to know CPR– the thought of trying to help a choking baby or resuscitate a small child might be daunting and frightening, perhaps you find the idea of taking the class boring, its hard to find the time– but you know it would be damn awful to need it and not know it.
