Family Nurse Practitioner

Hi, I’m ShaTara Coleman, a Chicago native, Oak Park resident, Family Nurse Practitioner, and mom of four amazing kids, including one with special needs who inspired this House Calls Practice. After juggling therapy appointments, school pick-ups, and endless clinic and therapy waits, I knew parents deserved a simpler way to keep their children healthy. That eye-opening journey sparked Little Steps Pediatric House Calls that is now bringing expert care right to your doorstep.

Why Parents Trust Little Steps

14 years of Family Medicine experience blended with real-life mom empathy

Same-day pediatric house calls for ages 3–19 in Oak Park, Chicago, and nearby suburbs

Full-service care: from sniffles, asthma, and sports physicals to wellness visits, without leaving the couch and flexible self-pay options.

My Care Philosophy

Comfort First: Kids heal faster when they feel safe at home.

Whole-Family Focus: I actively educate parents and kiddos so they can take charge of their health, from preventive care routines to smart acute care management when illness strikes.

Special-Needs Sensitivity: Whether your child has sensory challenges or complex medical needs, I meet them where they are, with patience, skill, and plenty of smiles. 

And just so you know, Little Steps isn’t here to replace your child’s primary pediatrician. We’re a flexible, supportive option for those moments when the office is closed, appointments are booked up, or you’re in between providers. 

After each visit, I can provide a detailed summary to share with your child’s regular doctor, so everyone stays on the same page. It’s truly a team effort to keep your child healthy and cared for

Beyond the White Coat

When I’m not making house calls, you’ll find me hanging with close friends, sampling every Oak Park and other local coffee spots, or diving into DIY science projects with my crew. Those day-to-day mom moments keep my practice relatable and always kid-approved :)
