The Baby Planner Announces New Book, Certification, and Academy

San Francisco, CA, September 27, 2009 --(PR.com)-- CEO and founder of The Baby Planner, Mary Oscategui will be releasing a new book at the end of October, titled “The Baby Planner’s guide to becoming a baby planner and starting your own baby planning business.”

The book was born naturally as Mary saw the tremendous need to establish a set of standards and credentials in the new and emerging industry of baby planning. “There is still a lot of confusion to the defined role and credentials of a baby planner, so I thought it was only appropriate to formally establish one through a book. As a baby planner there needs to be a clear scope of practice.” says Mary.

Mary has also decided to raise the bar in her industry by being the first baby planning company to offer a baby planner certification. “An education process by where a certification is earned will help build the respect and credibility that our industry deserves.” says Mary.

Lastly, she is in the process of developing The International Academy of Baby Planner Professionals, due to launch in February 2010.

Mary Oscategui, is a single mom, and mom-preneur, who has a passion and love for empowering women and families to reconnect with their powerful and intelligent nature. Prior to her career as a baby planner, she managed, coordinated, and arranged a variety of operations, including supervising and training a large staff of employees in the health and fitness industry. She also owns her own fitness company, EcoFitMom. She lives in Tiburon, CA with her nineteen month old daughter, Bella.

The Baby Planner, founded in 2008, assists, directs, guides, informs, educates, and supports new and expecting parents through their pregnancy or adoption process. The Baby Planner’s mission is to empower new and expecting parents to know their options, and make the most suitable decisions for themselves and their baby.
