ABOUT ROOTED

Rooted was born out of our own needs. We are 3 moms who have lived in Danang for eight, seven and five years, respectively. We were each raising our own young children... and we all needed extra help. Whether it was a nanny, breastfeeding help, pre-natal care, play groups, or just the support of other parents who had been there before.

​

We are not perfect parents, but we learned a lot from the people who helped us and our goal is to pass that knowledge on to you! 

​

After hiring a Vietnamese nanny, I (Meri) learned a lot of things along the way that I wish I taught her from the beginning. Over time, I trained her in some Western ways of childcare - playing independently, hygiene standards, sleep methods, etc. When the time came for my youngest child to go to school full-time, our nanny was fully equipped to work for another expat family. She had the knowledge and skills to provide excellent care for any child. From this, I began to develop a curriculum for teaching others and ways to connect Vietnamese nannies with foreigner families. 

​

As we sat down to discuss and plan the nanny training, we began to develop more ideas: Assistance for women giving birth in Danang, Support groups for moms to share their experiences, Nutrition and snack ideas for feeding kids at home, Educational Play boxes for toddlers, etc...

​

In producing these services, we are drawing on our own skills and expertise as a nurse, a doula, and a background in child development studies.

​

We understand that each child has unique needs and interests and every family is different. We strive to provide the best tools and support to help your family thrive!
