Elevator Pitch

You may think it is a little bit odd that I would just come right out and share with you my "elevator pitch" but I don't think it is odd at all because I've said hundreds of times, I'm rather transparent in my business and my practices when it comes to explaining how and why I do things a certain way in running my business. So, I figured, why not ask how this resonates with my audience!

You know how that first year of parenting is a little overwhelming and stressful? It's kind of like a roller coaster ride! Well, I make this parenting roller coaster ride more fun by allowing parents to connect with their baby through a technology called baby sign language.  After working with me, parents are amazed to discover what their baby is thinking.







I'm currently seeking partnering sponsors for the next endeavor of Sign4Baby. If this sounds like something your brand would like to be involved in, be sure to email me at info@sign4baby.com.

How to sign "Brown Bear, Brown Bear What do you See?"



By far, the most popular video I have posted to YouTube. It just surpassed the 10,000 views mark!

*** UPDATE*** Now at 13,000+ views!



I'm still sharing it every chance I get because "Brown Bear, Brown Bear What do you See?" is such a classic. It has a natural rythm both the storyteller and listener enjoy. If you don't have this book in your home library, I highly recommend making the addition. And if you can get this specific edition with the sliding windows, even better! Babies and toddlers become more engaged when there is a tactile element in a book. It will quickly become one of the books your baby will ask you to read again and again.

The bonus is that you learn both animal signs and color signs in one video:

                                                                                      
If you're local to San Diego, I hope to see you at an upcoming Signing Story Time - you can join our meetup
 
What favorite book would you like to see added to the Signing Story Time collection on our YouTube channel? I'd love to hear your recommendations.
