Meet the President
A local family business focused on helping mothers and growing families feel supported at home.
My name is Nathan Deutmeyer, and my wife and I are raising our three sons in Johnston. As a parent, I know how quickly everyday responsibilities can add up when a family grows. I started 4th Trimester Care to give expectant and new mothers practical support at home—help with meals, household tasks, newborn routines, and time to rest. Our goal is to help families feel supported during a demanding and meaningful season of life.
