Simplifying baby preparation for expecting parents.

Research-backed product recommendations tailored to fit your life, home and budget.

I am so glad
you’re here.

Hello, I’m Ariel - Baby Product Advisor, Physician Assistant and proud mom living in Brooklyn, New York.

Like many expecting parents, I spent countless hours researching the best products for my baby and often ended up more confused.

From cribs and pacifiers to pumping bras and swaddles… I was overwhelmed. I wished there was someone to say “hey, this stroller or this baby monitor is the best fit for you, and here’s why!”

I know firsthand that it takes a village, which is why I’ve made it my mission to help expecting parents like you cut through the noise, reduce overwhelm, and increase your confidence with research-backed recommendations. 

The time before your baby arrives – the calm before the stork – should be spent daydreaming about your new addition to the family. Leave the baby prep to me and enjoy the magic of expecting a little one!

Make educated purchase decisions for you and your baby, without the stress.

Personalized

What may work for your friend’s baby, may not work for yours. Figuring out what you'll need before you've even met your little one can be tough, but I will assess your unique lifestyle and home to help you make the most of your space and products.

Researched

The baby market is overly saturated with very well-marketed products. I lean on my medical research mindset to sift through the sea of options and find the best products for each client. No fluff, no bias, just what you need.

Optimized

Together we will curate a list of smart, savvy purchases that won’t just make your life easier and your baby happier, but also keep your costs down. Get the most out of your baby products.

How it works.

How it works.

Step 1

Nest Discovery Call

Let’s chat and see if my services fit your needs.

Step 2

Nest-essities Survey

This helps me understand your unique situation and preferences better. I want to know things like…

  • How big are your nursery, home, and storage space?

  • Do you have specific requests such as BPA-free or nontoxic products? Eco-friendly options?

  • What is your budget?

Step 3

Nest Essentials Call

We’ll jump on a video call where I’ll come prepared with personalized product recommendations. Feel free to pose any baby-prep questions during this call!

Step 4 - FOR BUILD YOUR NEST PACKAGE ONLY

Build Your Nest

If you opt for the Build Your Nest package, everything will be ordered for you! I will also book time to help you set up your nursery so it's both efficient and parent-friendly (in-person limited to Brooklyn and Manhattan… for now). I’ll also walk you through how certain products work. That way, when baby arrives, you can focus on caring for your baby.

Prepared Parents, Happy Nests

  • “Working with Ariel took the stress out of comparing so many baby products — she had recommendations and rationale at the ready but also listened to what we were looking for and made suggestions accordingly.” - Sarah G.

  • “Ariel helped me develop a registry that gave us everything we needed, without a ton of extra items we never used (we live in NY so we need to be mindful of space). She was also very mindful of our budget - we were happy to splurge on some things but wanted to save on others.” - Kelsey H.

  • “Our baby is 7 months old now and I can confidently say that CBTS set us up perfectly for the first 6 months with our first baby. She still sends us recommendations as Remi grows and as new things come on the market - we love the continued engagement.” - Julia P.

  • “My husband and I were extremely overwhelmed when we started looking into baby products. After spending two hours with Ariel, we felt we covered a ton of ground and were confident in the products she recommended to us. Would absolutely recommend her services if you are expecting!” - Charlotte and Sean H.

  • “I work really (like, really) long hours and often weekends as well. I was able to send some info about myself/family/budget, etc to Ariel, who then turned that into a perfectly curated list of baby product recommendations. In just two one-hour phone calls, she explained why she felt each product was a great choice for us, and sent them over in an easy document that I could just order from.” - Adam and Katie G.

  • “This is an awesome service for anyone expecting, who has minimal free time on their hands. I have gifted CBTS services to a handful of coworkers, and they all feel similarly.” - Michelle H.
