Hi! I’m May Jones, the heart and mind behind Carry Happy and mother to three beautiful daughters. I love babywearing, and genuinely believe it has transformed my life as a parent. I want everyone to have the same chance to experience the joys and advantages babywearing brings.I am certified by the School of Babywearing UK and am actively growing my knowledge and skillset.Carry Happy operates in Mannheim, Germany. I can do remote sessions too, you can get in touch to discuss your needs :)
Why babywearing?
As a parent myself, I have experienced the ups and downs parenting brings, and know first-hand what an incredible tool babywearing is. It can be for you too.Here are some of the reasons I personally love babywearing:
Freedom: there is always a comfortable place for baby wherever you want to go (and whenever!).
Getting things done: baby doesn't want to be alone while there's washing up to do, no problem!
Confidence in parenting skills: being able to soothe your baby quickly and keep them safe is a big win.
Encourages baby's development: boosts parent-child attachment, helps with proper hip and spine development and more!
Doesn't stop with babyhood: whether my toddler is tired, sick, wants some cuddles or just some fun, babywearing is often a perfect tool to have in the bag.And these are just a handful of the amazing benefits babywearing brings!
What do I offer?
Tailored guidance: You'll receive 1-on-1 attention. It's just you (and your partner), me, and your little one, finding the perfect fit and style to suit your babywearing needs and preferences.Equipped studio: My babywearing studio is a dedicated and comfortable space for you and your family to practicing babywearing. I have a wide range of carriers and slings for you to try out. The studio is a 2 minute walk from the Mannheim Central Station.Safety and confidence: Your baby's safety is my top priority. I provide easy-to-follow instructions and patient guidance, ensuring you feel confident and your baby is secure at all times.English language: As an English-speaking mum in Germany, I know how it can be hard to find help in English. Since it is my native language, I prefer to run my consultations in English (although I do speak German too 🙂).
