DEE RULE
Nurse & Nanny to the Stars
Client Testimonial
I have the pleasure of having Dee Rule helping us with our new baby girl. From day one, she has taken the most amazing care of our daughter and our daughter absolutely adores her. Dee has the ability to instill a tremendous amount of confidence in her Moms and she figures out how to adjust to any and all situations. She deals flawlessly with changes in our daily schedule and managed to have our little girl sleeping through the night by the time she was seven weeks old. Dee has been an absolute delight to have in our home. She is always smiling or singing. She is so good at what she does and she loves babies. Watching her look at her babies, it is almost like she is figuring out how the pieces of the puzzle all fit together. She knows what every sound means and can tell from a slight grumble in the back of the throat if the baby is congested. She watches, she knows and is in tune with everything our daughter does. Beyond knowing what needs to be done with Grace, she also watches out for me. She knows when I am just too tired to go on, she knew when to give me the pass at night for feeding because I could not see straight and was recovering from a C-section. I loved that I was always met with "you need your rest...she is fine" and sent back to bed. It was during one of those nights when she sent me back to bed that I had to stop and ask Dee what she was doing. She was sitting in the dark in the living room tapping on her Palm Pilot. She said she was writing a book. I was speechless. Dee had been sitting in my living room and the wonderful family she had worked with before ours and had written an entire book on her palm. The Baby Schedule Ruler, was something that she had thought about doing for years and then one day she started to write and next thing she knew she had completed the entire book on the Palm. After reading The Baby Schedule Ruler, I was not only impressed by her ability to write, but by how she practices what she preaches and how well it works. Having her in my home, I really begin to see how her written rules transferred into the daily care of Grace. My daughter is a happy, healthy three month old, who loves Dee. Dee carries her around with such pride and Grace lights up every time Dee comes into the room. Dee is one of the kindness, most pure-hearted individuals I have ever known. She is so full of goodness and love. She has inspired me by her words of wisdom in The Baby Schedule Ruler, but she has also inspired me as a person. Just by the mere fact that she wrote this book, sitting in the dark on a Palm, should be a lesson to all of us that we can do anything if we put our minds to it. No challenge is too difficult for Dee to deal with. She is a professional through and through, but she is also so warm and so loving. Dee Rule is the perfect combination of all good things in life. She has so much wisdom and experience to offer and does her job as The Baby Schedule Ruler perfectly. Shannon

The Perfect Role
Providing award-winning care for newborns of Hollywood A-Listers
By Luke Cowles
Making the switch from clinical practice to private home care can be quite a change for some nurses. When your clients are A-list Hollywood actors and actresses, that transition comes with an entirely unique set of challenges all its own. For Dee Rule, baby nurse to the stars, it’s a role she was born to play.
Peace of Mind
It doesn’t matter how famous someone might be, having a baby can be a stressful experience, especially if it happens to be the first child in the family. As a professional baby nurse, Rule is there from the moment the mother and child leave the hospital, offering education, alleviating fears and providing care for the baby.
“I’m there for the parents as a 24-hour advisor,” Rule explained. “That gives them such peace of mind knowing they have ready access to someone with experience and don’t really have to wait until the morning and try to reach the pediatrician.”
Rule commits herself full time to a family, usually for the first 3 months of the baby’s life. During that time, she educates the mother on issues like breast pumping, breast care and tends to the child while the mother gets the appropriate amount of rest. Different clients have different needs. Rule often finds herself working 12-hour days, being on call or even living with the families. It’s all about what works best for them.
“I try to be as flexible as I can to accommodate the family’s needs,” Rule stressed. “Every economic and social background structure is so different, so I adapt to fit into their routine.”
Flexibility in a Flash
The lifestyles of the rich and famous don’t often follow a traditional schedule. Tending to such clients requires Rule to be ready to run on a minute’s notice.
“I get calls that say, tomorrow I’m going to Hawaii or to get ready because this evening I’ll be jumping on a plane to England,” Rule laughed. “It’s wonderful but it’s a whirlwind!
“The clients expect that you know how to travel. Some people don’t,” Rule continued. “By that I mean being able to leave on very short notice, travel lightly and quickly or handle time changes with ease. Quite often, I have to adjust to 10- or 12-hour time changes between Australia and New York after spending 17-18 hours on a plane, with twins! You have to be flexible to do this job.”
Reputation Speaks for Itself
Now fully self-employed, Rule prides herself on the fact that all of her clients come from personal recommendations. With clients who are very private and selective, that says a lot about her quality of care.
“It means a lot to me that someone would think so highly of my work that they would recommend me to care for the children of their family members and friends,” Rule said. “While I am employed by the families for a specific period of time, I always try to remember that I not only work for them but I work for my reputation, as well. It’s everything in private duty care.”
The Feeling Is Mutual
While her clients get high-quality care for their children, Rule sees herself as equally blessed by getting to meet so many amazing people. The feeling of gratitude is mutual between herself and her clients. Rule calls Adam and Jackie Sandler, “the most warm and loving people I’ve ever met or lived with” and Julia Roberts and Tina Fey, “the most inspiring women and mothers.
“The inspiration I get from my clients is really a gift,” Rule shared. “The best part is that I loved them and enjoyed their film work long before I ever met them.”
Sharing the Secret
You don’t have to be a celebrity to enjoy the secrets of child care to the stars. Rule has just celebrated the release of her first book, The Baby Schedule Ruler. In it, she shares the advice she gives to celebrity moms about keeping life routines intact after the baby arrives. It’s award-winning advice for new mothers.
“The baby can and should be a wonderful addition to your life. Everything doesn’t have to fall apart,” Rule insisted. “Life can expand and it’s all about creative parental imagination. It removes a lot of the mystery of having a baby and helps new parents discover the uplifting experience that having a baby should really be.”
