Child Nutritionist – Infant & Pediatric Nutrition

About Hoola Health

Hoola Health (formerly BabyMD) is a pediatric healthcare provider focused on making healthcare less clinical, less intimidating, and more human for children of all ages and the parents raising them.

As families’ needs evolve, Hoola Health provides child-first healthcare that adapts from early childhood through adolescence. Our clinics are thoughtfully designed to create a welcoming workplace for children while enabling honest, jargon-free conversations with parents.

From approachable outpatient care and stress-free vaccination experiences to therapy that fits into real family life, Hoola Health aims to be a supportive partner in parenting — without judgment or unsolicited advice.

This role goes beyond feeding support. You will help mothers with the emotional and practical sides of new parenthood, guide families on healthy infant routines, and build long-term relationships with the families you work with. Candidates who also understand infant sleep will be given preference.

ROLE OVERVIEW

Hoola Health is looking for a Child Nutritionist to guide families on healthy eating from infancy through childhood. You will support parents through weaning, solid food introduction, and the everyday feeding challenges of growing children, through consultations at Hoola Health clinics and virtual sessions.

This role is about more than diet charts. You will build trust with families, understand each child's needs, and help parents make confident, practical food choices that support healthy growth and development.
