Our Story

Born fromshared experience

Ivory & Bloom started the way most good things do: two friends, a shared passion, and a simple wish to make life a little easier for families during one of its most tender seasons. We are Liz and Leticia, both originally from Brazil, both drawn to the United States by a quiet sense that there was more out there for us. We found each other here, became roommates, and realized we cared deeply about the same thing: the fourth trimester and the mothers living through it. When you welcome Ivory & Bloom into your home, you are not just gaining support; you are gaining a team that is genuinely, wholeheartedly in your corner.

About

Liz traded a career in finance for one built entirely around people, and she has never looked back. She has a natural warmth that families feel the moment she walks in, and a quiet ability to sense what a mother needs even before she says it. Her background is unconventional, and that is exactly what makes her exceptional. She brings a calm intelligence to every shift — present, prepared, and genuinely invested in every family she serves.

Leticia set aside a law degree to follow something she did not expect: a deep love for supporting families through the fourth trimester. She brings a grounded, steady energy to every home she enters, the kind that makes new parents take their first real breath. Her care is intuitive and deeply considered. She notices things. She adjusts. And she stays — fully present — for as long as a family needs her.

What Families Are Saying

“

As a single mother, I knew I'd be doing most of this alone, both empowering and terrifying. Liz was there from day one. She organized the nursery, sorted baby clothes, and prepared fresh, homemade food from scratch to support me. She genuinely loves learning about child development and wove that into daily routine. There was never a moment I questioned whether my daughter was in the best hands.

— The Byrd Family, Upper East Side, NY

“

We were struggling to find last-minute overnight support for our three-month-old and met Leticia, who made onboarding easy and quickly learned our home setup. She was on time, organized, and detail-oriented, and took particular care with our infant's reflux, offering guidance on how to improve his feeds. We'd highly recommend Leticia to any family looking for a high-quality caregiver.

— Private Family, Belmont, CA

“

We came to Liz exhausted, with a ten-week-old and a residency board exam looming over everything. She picked up right where our doula left off, bringing the same warmth and steadiness we needed. It was such a relief being able to trust her with our baby girl at night to get a little more sleep. By the end, our baby was sleeping through the night, and I was able to walk into my exams having actually rested. I don't think I can overstate what that gift meant to us.

Learning Your Newborn’s Cues

Newborns communicate long before they cry. Learning to notice their early hunger, tiredness, and overstimulation cues can make those first weeks feel a little less like guessing.

Breastfeeding in the Early Days

Breastfeeding is natural, but it doesn't always feel easy at first. Both you and your baby are learning together, and it can take time to find a rhythm that feels comfortable.

Preparing a Gentle Postpartum Recovery Corner

A calm recovery space can make the first days home feel softer, safer, and more supported. Here are the details we love preparing before baby arrives.
