ABOUT ME

Hi! I’m Jeri,

For more than two decades, I have cared for premature and critically ill newborns at the bedside as a NICU nurse. Today, as a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner, I continue that work — supporting fragile babies and the families who love them.

Over the years, I’ve noticed something consistent:

Parents don’t just need reassurance.

They need understanding.

The NICU can feel overwhelming — monitors, alarms, medical terminology, wires, ventilators. When you don’t understand what’s happening, fear grows.

Bright Sprout was created to gently change that.

I believe that knowledge reduces fear.

When parents understand:

• What CPAP does

• Why their baby is in an isolette

• What the monitors are tracking

• What milestones matter

Bright Sprout provides compassionate, evidence-based NICU education in language that feels clear and supportive.

Here you’ll find:

• NICU medical explanations

• Parent education guides

• Support resources

• Tools to help you document your journey

Always grounded in clinical experience. Always delivered with care.
