As parents (or soon-to-be-parents), you have probably already decided you would do anything for your child’s happiness, safety, and well-being. That is why it is crucial to designate guardians for your precious bundles of joy — if something were to happen to you and your spouse or partner, there is nothing more important than choosing a guardian who you know will provide the same love, care, and values that you do. At the Law Office of Prachi Mehta, we offer a unique, flat-free pricing structure, so you know up-front exactly how much your investment will be. We will help you ensure your children are taken care of by the people you want, in the way you want, no matter what, so you can sleep at night with peace of mind.

We connect families who need help meal prepping with local chefs. Pocket Chefs will plan, cook, clean, and shop so you can reclaim your time!

Dr. Sarah Mitchell created Helping Babies Sleep to empower tired, frazzled parents with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to get their children to become independent sleepers. She helps by educating parents on their child’s age-appropriate sleep needs, guiding them through sleep training options, and coaching parents through the process of getting their little ones to sleep in my online course or one on one in sleep coaching packages.

Crib Notes Consulting provides personalized strategies for all developmental stages for all children between ages 0 to 5 years old, including navigating the first year, potty training, sign language, and teaching self-regulation. We believe every family, parent, and child is unique and what works for each of them is different. Our goal is to inform parents, provide them with options, and help them choose and implement what works best for them.
