With a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and over 25 years of experience as a professional nanny caring for more than 21 children (most from the newborn stage) I bring a deep understanding of what families truly need when welcoming a baby home. As a personal baby planning consultant serving Fairfield County, CT, I am passionate about guiding expectant and new parents through both the joys and challenges of early parenthood.

My firsthand experience with the excitement and complexities of preparing for a new baby has shaped my commitment to supporting today’s busy parents. I created Joyful Baby Beginnings to provide families with trusted resources, personalized baby planning guidance, and reassurance—helping parents feel confident, prepared, and supported as they get ready for baby’s arrival.

Together, let’s make this new chapter joyful, supported, and stress-free.

Meghan was so easy to work with and gave such great feedback regarding our baby registry! It was so nice to be able to bounce ideas off of her. I would highly recommend her services, as her opinions are extremely valuable!
