Nested LLC believes the health & safety of our clients, staff and volunteers is of utmost importance and is always our top priority which is why we adhere to Nested’s COVID-19 protocols for in-person classes. As such, we will continue to offer small, in-person group classes to ensure all attendees, including Nested instructors, are able to be at least 6-feet away from each other. 

Please know that Nested closely monitors & adheres to government agencies’ public health guidelines and requirements to maintain best practices to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Should Nested have to suspend in-person classes due to federal, state and/or local government restrictions (and/or if the building is closed), registered clients will be notified via email that their class will be conducted as a LIVE Virtual interactive class at the same date & time as the originally scheduled class, and will be provided with an access link.

WHAT OUR IN-PERSON & ONLINE CLASS ATTENDEES SAY…

“My wife and I took the Newborn Care class before the birth of our daughter (right before COVID hit) and we absolutely loved it. I didn’t know a thing about swaddling or putting a baby to sleep or even changing a diaper for that matter, but the teachers didn’t make me feel stupid for being completely in the dark about baby stuff. I follow them on Instagram (@nestedbaby) and noticed that they’re offering some classes now virtually because of COVID, so I definitely recommend that. As a guy, I feel like you can be more apprehensive to ask questions about taking care of your newborn than a mother would be, and Nested made me feel comfortable.”

“My wife and I found these guys on social media as resources for delivery classes were few and far between during the height of coronavirus. My wife signed us up right away for one of their video virtual classes. We absolutely have loved our experiences with Nidhi and the rest of the Nested team, and have told two expecting couples friends of ours all about their amazing offerings. Can’t wait to see what other classes they come out with, but definitely a good pick if you’re looking for a baby delivery class in the DC area (and I guess anywhere now, since they’re offering their video classes, too!).”

“Nested’s LIVE Virtual interactive Breastfeeding class was something that I was interested in taking due to the fact that I had very little information on the subject as a new mom-to-be. Our instructor, Katie, was very knowledgeable and made us feel like we were in a safe zone when discussing the facts. Very happy I signed up for this class.”

“My husband and I attended the Newborn Care and Infant CPR class. It was super informative and the on hands practice and activities were delightful and much appreciated. I am sure our “Nested Grad” is thrilled we learned how to swaddle him appropriately and we were well equipped first time parents. I really appreciate Nidhi (who is my dr and has been for the past 5 years plus) and team and look forward to their services again in the future! Thank you ladies for giving us first time parents the knowledge and practice we so need in those special months leading up to a life changing event!”

“My husband and I took two courses through Nested to help prepare for the birth of our first child. We learned vital information about infant CPR and assisting an infant that is choking. I’ve had to use those techniques and because I had practice at the class it helped me to feel more comfortable in assisting my own child. The stages of labor were helpful as well. They have great teachers who keep things exciting and give such great tips. It was money well spent. If you are a first time parent or a little rusty in baby care I highly recommend Nested.”

A NOTE FROM NESTED’S FOUNDER, NIDHI REVA, MPH PA-C

Let’s be truly honest, we’ve all had a tough year and joy was on short supply. Like so many of you this year when faced with daily struggles, my circle of loved ones’ sought to find comfort in the little things — outside games with friends and neighbors, watching kids ride bikes outside and playing hide & seek, warm snuggles watching movies — these are memories I’ll cherish. And, yes, as we hopefully find our way back to a new “normalcy” in 2021, I know I will see life with more color, perspective and appreciation. The pandemic and sheltering-in-place over the past year disrupted the “business of life” of trying to fit everything into a packed schedule, which allowed the space for me to spend more time with my girls, truly cherish both my local and out-of-town family & friends and spend more time with them virtually, observe and admire the strength of my colleagues, and, focus on the expressive eyes and needs of patients and soon-to-be parents as they sought guidance and education on health, wellness and preparation for their baby’s arrival. This is the color I don’t want abandoned with the new freedoms approaching.

So, my holiday wish this year is to keep my colors an integral part of my life, and for all of you to have your new found experiences carried forward for your holiday season and beyond. Cheers to the little sparks of joy that got us through 2020!

Wishing you and your family a safe, healthy and loving Holiday season!
