Meet the founder

Hi, I'm Libby. Caring for babies has been my life's work.

For over 20 years I have cared for newborns, infants, toddlers, twins, triplets, and premature babies, helping families navigate the most important stages of early childhood with confidence and peace of mind.

I founded Little Hugz out of a genuine passion for compassionate, dependable care. Every child is unique and every family has different needs, so I build routines and trusting relationships around your home — never a template.

As a Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula, my goal is not only to care for children but to give parents reassurance, guidance, and the confidence that their little ones are receiving exceptional care.

Before growing Little Hugz, I spent 10 years working with Hush Hush Little Baby, deepening my experience in overnight newborn care and supporting families through the earliest weeks at home. Little Hugz brings that experience into a personal, Service across Maryland, Washington DC, and Virginia, led directly by me.
