WHO IS THIS FOR?
​
If you are a new parent expecting your firstborn, and are absolutely clueless about how to care for your baby on his or her arrival….
​
If you will be entrusting the care of your baby to a grandparent, or a grandparent-in-law, but you are unsure if the standards of care from years ago vis-a-vis today matches up….
​
If you will be hiring a domestic helper for the caregiving of your newborn, and you’re uncertain and apprehensive about how well they really know how to care for a baby….
​
Or basically, anybody who just needs a refresher on newborn caregiving!
​
HOW IS THE COURSE CONDUCTED?
​
The course is held in a small group setting, mimicking a home environment. This is the most common habitat of a baby, and we want to deliver the course content in a practical and relatable way.

Every course participant will undergo practical hands-on under the supervision of our instructors. The class is also kept small at a maximum of 8 participants per session in order to ensure maximum takeaway for every attendee.

About our Instructor
Hi, I am Sheryl.
I'm a Mother of 3, and also a certified Breastfeeding Counsellor. I am extremely passionate about empowering Mothers, and young families with knowledge so that new moms can avoid how lost and alone I felt, when I first became a mom myself. Under the mentorship and tutelage of Sister Teresa who imparted the best practices at hospitals, I am honoured to have learnt so much from her since 2019, when My First Love first started.
​
Being a mom of 3 young kids, a full-time working mother, as well as one who needs to deploy domestic help at home, I understand the woes, worries and concerns of the modern working mom about leaving our babies to alternative care.
