Bébé Concierge: J'aime la vie by Victoria Antoinette

Here is a neat business I would like to introduce you to – baby concierge is an emerging industry that is of particular interest to our students and readers. Stephanie Antoinette is the Founder & M.O.M. (Master of Multitasking) at J’aime la vie by Victoria Antoinette Mommy & Bébé Concierge. She is like a wedding planner, except for all things mom and bébé! SPB: How did you find your way into the baby concierge service? JLV: There were a couple of different things that brought this business concept to
fruition. One being that Arizona is a very transient state; I actually came
from Minnesota myself about 6 years ago. So when I was pregnant with my last
baby (3 years ago) I really had no idea where to go for furniture, nannies,
photographers, doulas, etc. There was a lot of wasted money and time on my
end going through the trial an error of this. The second part was that I was
working mom who really just didn't have the time to research all of this, do
all the interviews, and plan things like baby showers, birthday parties, etc. I
really felt that there should be a local "baby planner" just as their
are wedding planners! This is a major and ongoing event in our lives! So I left
that corporate position and created a premiere one-stop shop for all mommy and
baby needs! SPB: How does the service work, and what kinds of services do you provide? JLV: I provide package and A La Carte options so that I can fit
various budgets and needs! I help moms with finding the right
nannies, doulas, photographers, and more. I also do custom baby registry
and birth plans, along with nursery stocking and organization! Then I do the
custom party planning, which is anything from baby showers, gender reveals,
religious ceremonies, birthday parties (any age), graduation parties and so
much more! SPB: Can you tell me a little about your favorite packages and their special
features? JLV: All of my packages are great and you can customize it to fit any needs. One of
the most popular is Vous attendez un bébé!- $150
(So you are having a baby!) This is where we will create a tummy
timeline, create a custom baby registry and create your birth plan. So many new
and veteran moms are not sure what to expect, what to do when, how this baby
will change their lives. I help take the worry out of this process so it
doesn't become a source of stress for the family. SPB: How will a mom know which package is right for their family? JLV: I offer a free over the phone consult where we generally decide where to start,
and we can always add on as we go! SPB: How did you find the vendors that you work with? JLV: Years of trial and error at my own expense and time! I also belong to some
great organizations where I am surrounded with the Phoenix Valley's top vendors! I have
done the research for you! SPB: What are the benefits of using a baby concierge? JLV: If you are a new mom, I really guide you on anything from the right products,
how to maximize your budget, and the get the right resources you need! For
veteran moms like myself this is also a benefit: I work with you on how to
transition the new baby with your family, I can get you the right childcare you
need, and with each child products are constantly changing... you want to know
what is best now!
For all moms my event planning services are a HUGE plus! Planning parties is my true passion; those
who are close to me know I am a list maker! Organization, party flow, good food
and fresh flowers are key to any successful event! My personal tastes for decor
flow anywhere from modern, to shabby chic, to over-the-top! Planning events is
so much more fun then decorating your home because you can adjust it to your
mood, theme and guests! I think outside the box, and work with any budget to
create unique events!
As mothers we often spend our time putting together these events for important
milestones in our children's lives, yet we barely have the time to stop and
enjoy it with them! I make this possible…that it in itself is priceless. SPB: When would someone want to hire you as a baby concierge? JLV: As soon as they begin to feel like they need help! I have 13 years experience as a mother myself, I know what it is like to be
pregnant, worried, uncomfortable and stressed! I have been through 2 births and
about to experience my third, birth can be the most incredible and terrifying
experience all at once! I know what it is like to have minimal sleep and still
need to work a full time job! I know how personal it is to find the right
people to help you take care of your children, and how much it means to execute
the perfect party for your kids! I also have the corporate experience to execute
all of this properly. I am the best of
both worlds for moms! SPB: Are there any other thoughts you want to share with our readers? JLV: Let me take the worry out of preparing for baby. For a quote on custom event
planning or any of my services, please contact me!
