My name is Trisha LaMorte, I am a mom of three and live in Milford with my husband and children. We also have two fur babies named Zeke and Cami, and the littles have two cats named Princess and King. I have been effectively “mothering” anyone I could since I learned to play house. I was born in Minnesota and raised on a farm in Western Massachusetts. I’ve always had a passion for babies and the little ones in the neighborhood. I started babysitting around twelve years old and became a full-time, live-in nanny at 18. I was fortunate to have that first family be my family! My Aunt gave birth to 27 week premature triplets in March of 1998. Taking care of my three new cousins was a whole new challenge with all the specialized care that went into their daily routines. I subsequently nannied for many other families throughout the years before becoming a PCA at Connecticut Children’s Medical Center in Hartford. During my time at the hospital I worked as part of an inpatient/hospital unit, performing a variety of routine direct patient care, environmental and administrative support activities to promote the health, safety and comfort of pediatric patients and their families. Upon relocating to the Boston area I was very fortunate to nanny for one last family when I took care of their first son starting around three months old and then welcomed his little brother into the family just twelve months later! I stayed with them until I was ready to have my second baby in 2014. It was my own postpartum experiences with my second and third babies that made me more keenly aware of the need to promote better support for postpartum mothers and families. I am thrilled to be able to support new families through this extraordinary time. I will use my skills to create a multifaceted postpartum support plan for your growing family’s needs. I will care for you and your family so you may focus on important things like resting and recovering from birth, bonding with your new baby, and gaining your footing as a new parent. I am a DONA Trained Postpartum Doula. I am also Red Cross certified in Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED.
