Services: Birth Doula, Reiki Master, Pre & Post Natal Yoga Instructor, Parental Mentor Hello! My name is Josie Hart. I am a Certified Birth Doula, serving families in the Greater Capital Region of Upstate New York. I'm a mother of five, grandmother to one, and love what I do! I am passionate about helping pregnant people feel safe and empowered to make informed decisions regarding their bodies and their births. I believe every birthing person should have the autonomy to birth in their way and in their power. I am also a Reiki Master trained in Usui/Holy Fire® and Karuna Reiki® and certified to teach prenatal and postnatal yoga. I am grateful for the ability to teach as well as add Reiki energy healing, for those who would like, as a way to assist during pregnancy, labor and postpartum. When not supporting birth or working with Reiki, I enjoy my yoga practice, hiking trails in this beautiful Upstate NY area, or my most favorite pastime, spending time with my children, granddaughter, and extended family at my home. “…how a person is cared for and supported during birth is a major influence, not only in how they give birth but also in how they feel about the birth for years to come.” ~The Birth Partner

As a travelling newborn care specialist I strive to be a great pillar of support not just for the kids but also parents. I believe with growing little minds we need not only a great community but a strong support system with consistency and routine. I am a former CNA turned LPN and currently certified newborn care specialist and full time baby/ toddler nanny. To note I am certified and up to date in infant, children, and adult CPR as well as first aide (level c CPR). I communicate using parent preference whether it's verbal updates or texts. I am always happy to help with cooking, light housekeeping, organizing, schedule/ routine planning, and baby related cleaning.

I'm a mom, nanny, educator, and doula who has just as many hobbies as I do hats. I'm an avid reader, board gamer, social media scroller, and forgetter to brush my own teeth after brushing three children's. I'm here to help other moms remember their small things, and have a chance to take care of themselves in between. I want to help your family feel each other's love.

Motherhood changes everything. You deserve support that honors your body, your intuition, and the woman who you’re becoming. It is my belief that you hold within you the ability to be all that your child needs. It is my passion to help you reveil the blockages, release the fears, and uncover the innate wisdom your body holds. My vision is to bridge the gap between logistical preparation and emotional growth, offering an elevated standard of care for the modern mother. ​ The medicalized birth and conception industries leaves much to be desired in the realm of true connection, optimized health, and transparency. Women are continuously robbed of vital information that helps them to make informed choices, which is a travesty. I work with women to explore all of their options for fertility, birth, and beyond-supporting them through whatever path they choose to take. ​And yes, I will absolutely support your free birth.

I am a trained birth and postpartum doula and lactation educator (CAPPA) providing care in the New York capital region from Albany to Glens Falls. As a Registered Dietitian I enjoy utilizing my nutrition background to help clients navigate the demanding physical and emotional demands of pregnancy and postpartum. I offer comprehensive birth and postpartum support, including overnight care to prioritize rest for new parents. I also incorporate my knowledge of perinatal nutrition to facilitate a nourishing pregnancy and postpartum recovery. My philosophy around birth and nutrition stem from the same principle; that our bodies and intuition are stronger than we often realize. I embrace an intuitive eating approach which relies on tuning inward and building trust with the body. These same skills can be employed when preparing for birth. I believe that you are the expert of your own body, and I am here to be a trusted source of evidence-based information and emotional support as you navigate pregnancy, birth, and parenthood.

As a Registered Nurse with extensive birthing center, neonatal ICU (NICU), and postpartum experience- I understand that breastfeeding doesn’t always come naturally-and that’s okay.

I have worked at Vassar Medical Center and Northern Dutchess most recently but also have experience working in other cities and countries where breastfeeding was highly valued. I am also a Yoga Alliance Certified Yoga Teacher, and love animals. I enjoy living upstate and truly believe in a holistic approach to care but also have the medical background to support the needs of more complex families and dyads.

Hi everyone! My name is Lexi, and I’m an experienced nanny transitioning into newborn night nannying. I’m currently completing my Newborn Care Specialist certification and have experience caring for infants, twins, and children with special needs. I’m also a mom myself to my toddler! After having my son in June 2025, a whole new passion opened up for me: caring for newborns and supporting moms during the postpartum period. Having experienced those early weeks myself, I know just how exhausting, overwhelming, and daunting they can be, and I would love to help make that transition a little easier for other families. I provide overnight support for families during the first 0–16 weeks of their baby’s life. While you get some much-deserved rest, I’ll care for your baby throughout the night—handling diaper changes, soothing, bottle feedings, or bringing baby to mom for breastfeeding and settling them back down afterward. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, dishes and bottles, laundry, light meal prep, and whatever else might make your life a little easier. Think of me as your night fairy! I’m truly flexible and will tailor my care to what works best for your family. In my own life as a mom, I tend to take a more Montessori-inspired approach, but when caring for your baby, I follow your lead and respect your parenting preferences. A little about me outside of childcare: I have two big dogs, a Golden Retriever and a Golden Retriever/Bernese Mountain Dog mix. I love spending time with my family and will happily drink a good iced latte no matter the season! I’d love to be part of your support system during those special first weeks with your new baby.

I live in Rensselaer, NY with my fiancé, son and two cats. In my free time I love to cook, workout, and read. My philosophy is that every parent deserves to be met with unconditional support throughout their reproductive journey. It is my hope to always be able to offer my clients a way to be satisfied with their birth experience, no matter the circumstances. I have a special interest in the relationship between the mind, body, and baby during the process of birth and I often view the nervous system as a tool to tap into this system. I hope to pursue this interest and deepen my knowledge in the near future by completing a pre and post natal fitness coach certification.

Hi! My name is Kayleigh, I’m looking for families who could benefit from affordable overnight newborn care. I’m a mom to a one year old boy, Emerson and he’s the light of my life. Ever since I was a young girl, I’ve always had very strong motherly instincts. As the eldest daughter of 7 siblings, caring for little ones has always been second nature to me. I’m currently working toward becoming a Certified Postpartum Doula, specializing in overnight newborn care. While completing my certification I would love to support you and your family and I would love for you to be apart of my journey along the way! In exchange for my lower rates compared to the average overnight newborn care provider, you’ll receive dedicated, personalized care for your family while helping me gain valuable hands on experience. My goal it to make overnight newborn care more accessible to families who need an extra helping hand, while continuing to grow my knowledge and skills. As a mother myself, I understand just how physically and emotionally exhausting those first few weeks-and even months- can be. The sleepless night, constant worrying, and adjustment to life with a newborn can feel overwhelming. Whether you're welcoming your first, second, or third baby, every postpartum journey is different, and no one should have to navigate it alone. I will provide compassionate, reliable overnight care so parents can rest, recover and wake up knowing their little one has been cared for with love and attention. I come to your home during the night as an extra set of hands so you can rest, recharge, and enjoy greater peace of mind. Whether you're looking for ongoing overnight support, or simply a few hours of uninterrupted sleep. CPR, First Aid, AED certified, in the process of completing DONA certification. I am also fully vaccinated. I'm excited to continue growing my knowledge and gain hands on experience while supporting families during such a special season of life. I'm available to provide a few hours of support or on-going care, 2-4 nights a week, until your baby reaches 16 weeks of age. Families must be within 20 miles of Albany, NY. Thank you for considering me as part of your family's journey. Your support means so much as I work toward becoming a Certified Newborn Care Specialist. I can't wait to help families feel more rested, supported, and confident during those precious newborn days.

Hello families! I am excited to reach out and let you know of my as needed availability as a night nurse. I am currently working at a local hospital with laboring moms as well as supporting moms in the postpartum period. I do work full time typically three days a week with alternating weekends but am happy to support families on my days off as my usual schedule when I am not working is still being awake at night and sleeping during the day. So excited to meet your litte ones and support you during this sensitive and crucial step to healing.

Birth is one of life's most transformative experiences and every family deserves to feel seen, heard and deeply supported throughout the journey. As a doula, I believe that my role is to walk beside you with compassion, evidence-based education and unwavering support. Whether your path includes an unmedicated birth, an epidural, induction, cesarean birth, or unexpected changes along the way, my goal is to help you feel informed, empowered, and confident in your choices. I strive to create a calm, judgment-free space where you can trust your intuition, ask questions freely and feel genuinely cared for. Above all, I believe birth is not about achieving a "perfect" experience—it is about feeling safe, respected and empowered. My hope is that long after your baby is born, you look back on your birth knowing you were supported with kindness, dignity and wholehearted care every step of the way. I am taking clients who are due in February and April 2027.
