Welcome to Baby & Me
About Us
Our Mission
We exist to support pregnant women who are on leave.
Our Why
We know it takes a village to raise a baby, and Baby & Me wants to be a part of that village. There has been a gap in the community, especially among pregnant people from diverse and underserved cultures, who need help navigating the postpartum phase. We know how challenging this transition can be and how environmental, physical and emotional stress can affect parenthood.
Services
With the help of donations , we will provide services such as:
- Grocery gift cards
- Hot meals
- Lyft/Uber gift cards
- Self-care gift baskets
- Vitamin gift cards to help bounce back
- Community resources and more!
Meet Your Village
Danielle Garcia (CEO & Founder)
Danielle Garcia is a mother of two who had a vision to start Baby & Me due to her own experiences of working and prepping for a child. Danielle learned that a meal, a ride, or even community resources was what helped her get through the transition and was able to stay home longer to bond with her child. Danielle loves to help others in any way she can with no expectations.
Fun fact: Teaches dance fitness.
Regina Peterson (President & Outreach)
Regina Peterson is a proud grandma “Gigi” to two little boys. I was a single mother of five, I know firsthand from personal understanding and experiences of the financial and emotional challenges many mothers face during the postpartum period. My passion for this work is rooted in my own experience, and I am committed to creating a stronger, more compassionate support system for women navigating motherhood without a safety net. Every mom deserves time to heal, bond, and breathe.
Fun fact: I love to sing! 🎤
Aimee Grindstaff (Secretary & Marketing)
Aimee Grindstaff is a busy mother of two girls, Josephine, 3, and Bellamy, 1. As someone whose family lives out-of-state, she found the postpartum period to be challenging without relatives nearby to help with meals or to watch the baby while she ran errands. This is one of the many reasons she joined the Baby & Me team and hopes to pay it forward to other moms in the community who need support.
Fun Fact: She is a book nerd who loves to read all genres! Her goal is to read 50 books every year.
Brit Kurtzer (Account Manager/Treasurer)
Brit is a self-employed mother of a teenager who understands the importance of a village. No matter the circumstance, navigating motherhood can be tricky and sometimes feel lonely. As a mother, she found comfort in feeling seen, heard and valued. We all have different experiences as we lean into the journey. Knowing you’re not alone is the first step in becoming the incredible mother you were designed to be. We see you and we’re here for you.
Fun Fact: She takes her dog to coffee every Sunday.
Carrah Weakly (Board Member)
Carrah Weakly is a mother of two little ones and also two bonus kiddos who are now teenagers. She knows how fast maternity leave can fly by & can sympathize with the need for extra support during this time. There is so much to do after baby is born and all you really want to do is bond with baby & cherish every little moment.
Carrah wants to be a part of something bigger than herself & is committed to be that support that she knows every new mother deserves.
Fun fact: She owns a photography business. She started on her photography journey after her first baby was born.
