Meet Erin Carroll-Manning, The Owner of Gentle Giraffes

Gentle Giraffes is a full-service newborn care agency that prides itself in bringing top-quality newborn care and education to families anywhere from pre-birth right through to the weeks and months after babies are born. We're equipped to provide 24-hour baby care as well as overnight services, and we serve families in Greater Boston area, as well as the rest of New England and beyond. The Sky is the limit for the quality care we bring to families all over.

The times before and right after a baby's arrival, while exciting, can bring great stress to a family. If this is your first baby, you likely have a million questions about all aspects of birth and newborn care. If you've already been through the experience, you may need help figuring out how to manage a second. We can help! Gentle Giraffes' families can feel confident that each newborn care specialist, postpartum doula, overnight support team members, and baby nurses are providing the best consulting and newborn care possible.

Your needs will be unique to your particular family and those in and outside your family who may be caring for your baby on a regular basis, and we're happy to design your newborn program accordingly. We have worked with families who have single births as well as twins and even higher order multiples.
