Thanks for tuning in to Bump and Beyond, the online journal for Premier Baby Planning! I am Shenequa Aranda, Founder and CEO of Premier Baby Planning. I am constantly asked “What is a baby planner?” Well, a baby planner is someone who helps you plan for the biggest event of your life, your baby. It is similar to the way a wedding planner helps you plan for your wedding day but I go deeper to really guide you throughout this extraordinary time of your life. Preparing for a baby is so overwhelming these days. Figuring out which websites to use is as tough as deciding on a product. My job as a baby planner is to work with parents and family members to remove the stress associated with planning for a new baby. I empower parents so they feel confident when their bundle of joy arrives!
