Testimonials
“My wife and I recently welcomed our first child, and on the day we brought our baby home, we faced a frightening breathing incident, requiring re admission to the hospital. Thanks to the incredible CPR class from Newborn Prep, we managed the situation confidently and effectively. Our baby is now back home and healthy! If you are expecting a child or have just had a baby, you must take this class. We couldn’t recommend it more!”

“My wife and I took both the Newborn Prep 101 and Safe Baby courses and they were a game-changer for us. As first time parents, we were both feeling anxious and a bit underprepared for what to expect when bringing our little one home. Sammi was amazing – friendly, prepared, and incredibly knowledgeable. Her teaching style made unfamiliar concepts easy to grasp, and we left feeling much more confident in our ability to handle the early days of parenthood as well as any emergencies with our baby. Learning CPR, what to do when our baby is choking, and signs to watch out for if something goes wrong was invaluable. We're grateful for the skills and peace of mind these classes provided as new parents and cannot recommend the courses enough.”

“I have been trying to find a resource for a while that a qualified person can teach me infant cpr, and pointers/education for first time parents. I am SO thankful for Newborn Prep 101 for their amazing services. Lauren who was extremely qualified, came to my home to teach my husband and I infant CPR and extremely helpful pointers on feeding, diaper changing, sleeping, bathing and more! Lauren made the class fun and made me feel confident and comfortable for when my little one arrives. If you are a first time parent and looking for an informative and personalized education in the comfort of your home, I highly recommend newborn prep 101!”

“Samantha is an extremely knowledgeable, approachable and an engaging expert in the newborn and baby field. Her hands-on experience with infants from her time in the NICU shines through in anecdotal stories she tells through out her class. Her curriculum is well planned and the class goes by quickly, but she’s also great with answering questions as the class progresses and easily incorporating new topics based on your curiosities. She immediately made me feel at ease about the ongoings of what will happen in the hospital while I’m with baby and what will be happening when I’m not with my baby. The infant safety portion of the class was extremely eye-opening, and Samantha is amazing at clearly explaining exactly what to do in high stress situations having been in them herself. Could not recommend taking this class more!! An absolute must!!”

“As first time parents, Samantha’s safe baby + newborn prep course was invaluable. Samantha explained everything clearly and in detail, gave us an opportunity to practice, and left us with printed materials to help us remember what we learned. We left the course feeling confident about our ability to handle emergencies and equipped with practical skills for caring for our baby in his first weeks of life. We couldn’t recommend Samantha’s course more highly! All expecting parents should sign up!”

"Samantha's infant CPR class was a game-changer for us. Her practical approach and expert guidance gave my husband and me the confidence we needed to handle potential emergencies. Learning from her was not only informative but also reassuring, knowing we now have the skills to respond effectively in critical situations. Samantha's dedication to educating parents is evident, and we highly recommend her class for any new parents seeking essential life-saving knowledge. Plus, we took the class with some of our friends and all had a great time doing it together!"

“Being a first time parent is terrifying as it is but Samantha made lemonade out of lemons! From the amazing resources, the insightful knowledge she has from her work experience, and her intuitive ability to sit with parents in need, Samantha is the reason we made it through the newborn phase! I cannot recommend her courses highly enough, they are a savior for new parents, easy to digest, and incredibly knowledge-rich without being overwhelming. My confidence as a mom grew 10x as a result of Samantha’s content and every parent should utilize her services!”

“As expecting parents for the first time, we feel so excited but nervous about all of the unknown both in the hospital and during those first few weeks at home. Samantha put us at ease and we feel more prepared to advocate and care for our baby both in the hospital and at home. Neither of us have ever changed a diaper before, so we especially appreciated that she took the time to demonstrate this for us! I highly recommend her courses to any first time parents - the peace of mind she provides is priceless!”
- Michelle N
“I learned so many new things from both of Samantha’s courses, from the different injections and treatments they provide newborns in the hospital to things to look out for in the first few weeks at home, like signs of diaper rash or infections. Being able to practice infant CPR on a real mannequin made me feel less anxious about my baby’s arrival. I am about to be a new dad and feel more ready than I did before I took the courses. Highly recommend!!”

“Samantha was vital to our early days of parenthood. My husband and I both had virtually no experience with infants and Samantha prepared us better than I could have imagined. We left our time with Samantha feeling confident about everything from changing diapers, to swaddling and sleep behaviors, to umbilical cord care. I cannot recommend her services more.”
- Danielle M
“Everything about the courses was great! Everything is well prepared and the dolls were helpful to practice on. It is also very easy to sign up and so convenient that Sammi comes to your apartment. Sammi is very knowledgable, answered all our questions and helped us prepare for what is ahead. I would definitely recommend both courses to anyone pregnant!”
- Sam D
“Samantha's infant CPR course was incredibly helpful and informative. We strongly recommend it to all expecting parents and caretakers. The group learning experience with two other expecting couples added to the course as well!”
- Bari B
“Sammi was a wonderful instructor and left my husband and me with a lot more comfort before our little one arrives! I feel confident that I know how to protect my baby should I need to use the CPR and choking skills, but I also really appreciated the newborn care. I had a lot of questions around how to manage an umbilical cord and handle caring for a newborn boy, and all were answered! Sammi is warm, patient and clearly very knowledgeable. We highly recommend her classes to any soon-to-be parents!”
- Kelly L
“We had the best time taking class with Samantha, and can’t recommend her classes enough! She is so knowledgeable, kind, helpful, and she creates a fun learning environment. We did both courses with two friends, and it was so helpful and fun! Especially if you’re a first time parent like us, we highly recommend Samantha’s classes!”
- Libby Q
“As first time parents we don’t know what we don’t know so I enlisted Samantha for Newborn Prep 101 and infant CPR. We loved her! Samantha is extremely knowledgeable. Her resume speaks for itself. She has a really calming presence, explains things clearly and answered all our questions. We really enjoyed the practical aspect of the class and felt more prepared when she left. Great follow up with useful recommendations too! Would highly recommend Samantha and her classes!!!”
- Nikki & Dan
“We loved our Newborn Prep 101 and Safe Baby classes with Sammi! The material was concise but thorough, which is great because anything baby can be overwhelming. No question that we had was too big or too small for Sammi to answer. We will most definitely be recommending her courses to anyone that is expecting a new baby in their life - we found Sammi's courses to be invaluable!”
- Margo S
“The infant CPR course was absolutely amazing and exceeded all my expectations as a soon-to-be first-time mom. Samantha was incredibly knowledgeable and approachable, addressing all my concerns with empathy and clarity. By the end of the course, I felt genuinely prepared to welcome my little one into the world. The tips and demonstrations were invaluable, and I now feel confident in my ability to care for my baby, thanks to this course. If you’re a first-time mom-to-be looking to feel prepared and supported, I highly recommend enrolling in this course—it's not just educational; it's a confidence booster and a resource that truly eases the transition into motherhood.”

“I am expecting my first baby in July and finding in an person CPR course in New York City was much more challenging than I imagined. Then I saw Samantha's info on Instagram and she was exactly what I was searching for! The 1:1 live in person course was way more beneficial than a group setting or online course which are so plentiful these days. She comes to your home, has a ton of experience and was a wealth of knowledge. I could not recommend her services more!”
