Calabash Baby works hand-in-hand with Flamboyan on The Bay Resort & Villas as well as most St. Thomas hotels, villa rentals, or your AirBnB to provide the most convenient services. Whenever possible, the Calabash team will set up baby’s crib in advance of arrival.

“For the safety of children, we do provide airport delivery for car seats,” said Natasha. The idea to create her business was born from recent personal experience when her family took a trip to St. Barth’s and a baby crib rental was available. The experience inspired her to expand the concept to include all kinds of rentable kid-friendly gear that’s top quality, sparkling clean, sanitary, and inspected for proper function.

Families with young children have a dynamic new service to count on when it comes to vacationing on St. Thomas. Introducing Calabash Baby Gear Rentals.

Owned and operated by Natasha Quetel, Calabash Baby was designed to reduce stress for travelers. Rather than flying with bulky strollers, car seats, toys, and more, baby and toddler needs are personally delivered.

Said Natasha, “We are a family-owned and operated business that takes pride in the quality of products and service we provide.”

“Customers can also purchase diapers and wipes with their other delivery items so that they don’t have to worry about packing those bulky items,” said Natasha.

Natasha has been immersed in the childcare profession from an early age. Her mother, Donna Overbeek, is one of the most well-respected private childcare providers on St. Thomas.  “My mother started in daycare when I was born so she could stay home with me,” Natasha said.

“I always knew I wanted to work in some area of childcare. Now, with my one-year-old daughter to think about and another baby on the way, this business is perfect.” With a warm smile, she added, “My husband, Joshua is a big help, especially with set-ups.”
