Here’s What Others Are Saying

Malia Jane Hudson

I can honestly say that Tonya's training class was so worth the investment of time and money. She is engaging, passionate, and has a way of making the students feel comfortable asking questions and speaking up. She knows how to create a very positive learning environment.

Ashlyn Timothy

As a Newborn Care Specialist with prior training, I didn't know exactly what new information I would take from Tonya's class. But, I learned so much and was able to immediately apply it to my job. I credit Tonya for a huge chunk of my knowledge and confidence. She teaches with amazing attention to detail due to vast expertise and extensive research. I highly recommend Tonya's classes to anyone looking to learn more about newborn care. Whether you're just starting out or you've been working with newborns for years. I am confident you will learn alot from Tonya!

Jennifer Embs

Without question this training was one of the best investments I've ever made in myself and my career! The amount of information, on a variety of topics, was incredible, No stone was left unturned. Thanks to Tonya's comprehensive NCS Training I feel confident in my abilities to be successful as a Newborn Care Specialist. I strongly encourage anyone serious about a NCS career to invest in this training. It is invaluable!!

Karen Holland

I loved Newborn Care Solutions program - Tonya is extremely knowledgeable and passionate in her teachings, and cares deeply that any student of hers fully understands all the ins and outs of being a NCS. She wants her students to succeed and reflect well on her trainings, she doesn't just churn out NCS’s who have no prior newborn experience. If you’re a bit of a nerd like me, you’ll love how she delves into the scientifics of newborn behavior and care. I primarily work as a doula, but NCS training has been an invaluable part of my continuing education.

Christine Martin Lorentzen

For the best chocolate I go to Belgium, for the best bagels to New York, the best shopping Milano. It was pretty obvious that for the best Newborn Care Training I would go to Tonya. If I do something, I want to do it right and Tony's Newborn Care Solutions is the cream of the crop!

Laura A. Stieglitz

If you have been looking for an amazing Newborn Care Specialist program, look no further! Tonya's programs are amazing. Her passion, extensive experience, and focus on evidence based practice is weaved throughout every course that she offers (Foundational, Advanced, Elite, Experienced Elite, Masters, Green, Sleep Solutions). In addition, the recent addition of CACHE accreditation, the soon to be launched Respectful Newborn Care course, and an updated online learning platform makes things even better.

Amy Martino

If you’re considering taking a NCS training, I highly recommend you train with Tonya through Newborn Care Solutions. You will come away with the most advanced, well rounded, in depth training you can possibly get. Her class is extremely informative and you will be amazed at the wealth of information you will acquire. If you have a question, she’ll have an answer....she’s the NCS guru!

Marisa Rodriguez

Last Summer I transitioned to Overnight Newborn Care from a traditional Nanny jobs with multiples. I had no idea what my resources were until I stumbled upon a conversation mentioning Tonya Sakowicz and Newborn Care Solutions. I reached out to Tonya directly on Facebook to set up a time to talk. Tonya was very responsive and took the time to answer all my questions in great detail. Tonya's knowledge and integrity was impressive and I enrolled in the program the very next day! I have gained an amazing community of mentors, friends and top notch training!

Angelica Landa

I had a great experience training with Newborn Care Solutions at the Live Foundational Training in Chicago! Tonya is wonderful- she has so much information to share and manages to make it all such fun. I didn’t want it to end! I’m looking forward to continuing my education with their Advanced and Elite training programs soon
