Our Staff

We are a small, close-knit staff who all work together to care of all our families.  In addition to the home visitor you are assigned, we have an executive director, lactation counselor, and administrative assistant to support you any way we can.  Our staff speaks four different languages and come from different backgrounds and experiences.
