MISSION
Value #1 : Empowerment
 We believe every parent has the right to feel confident and capable in the NICU. Our mission is to equip you with the knowledge, tools, and guidance you need to play an active role in your baby’s care. When you feel empowered, you become a vital part of your baby’s healing journey.
VALUE #2 Compassion
We know the NICU can feel overwhelming, lonely, and unpredictable. That’s why compassion is at the heart of everything we do. We meet you with understanding, validate your feelings, and provide support without judgment—because you deserve care just as much as your baby does.
VALUE #3 Connection
Healing happens through connection. We help you strengthen your bond with your baby, build trusting relationships with your healthcare team, and connect with other NICU parents who truly understand. You don’t have to walk this journey alone—we are stronger together.
Our Story
When your baby is admitted to the NICU, it can feel overwhelming, lonely, and out of your control. As a NICU nurse, I’ve seen parents want so badly to bond with their baby, but feel unsure of how to help or where they fit in.
That’s why I created A Parent's NICU Journey—to give parents the tools, support, and confidence they need to play an active role in their baby’s care. Through education, guidance, and community, we help you calm the chaos, connect deeply with your baby, and work alongside your care team with confidence.
Because you matter. And your presence is one of the most powerful parts of your baby’s healing journey.
MY STORYÂ
From an early age, I understood what it felt like to want to belong and to be reminded that youmattered. That experience shaped my calling—I knew I wanted to work in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, where every baby deserves to feel seen, valued, and cared for.
As a NICU nurse, I’ve had the honor of walking alongside countless families in hospitals across the country, including at the #1 NICU in the world. Whether it was helping babies grow strong enough to go home to their loving families, or being present for those who had no one else by their side, my mission has always been the same: to let every child—and every parent—know that they matter.
But over the years, I began to notice something. Parents were walking through the NICU doors overwhelmed, scared, and unsure of how they could help. They wanted to bond with their baby and feel part of their care, but often felt powerless and left out of the process.
That’s why I created A Parent's NICU Journey—to change that. This platform was built to empower, educate, and support parents like you. My goal is to help you find calm in the chaos, connect with your baby in meaningful ways, and feel confident working with your care team. Because you don’t just belong in your baby’s story—you are one of the most important parts of it.

"Alex was one of the most optimistic and engaging nurses we had come across in the last 7.5 months of our NICU stay. She is not one of those nurses who just comes in to get vitals, give meds, Â and then goes back to her chair. She actually plays, talks, and spends time with our son with different activities and helps to reach his milestones."

"I greatly appreciated Alex as our nurse. Â Teaching me and explaining things in a way that I could understand and most importantly Alex made me feel comfortable."
