My name is Cheryl Alphonse, and I’m a Newborn Care Specialist with over 15 years of experience supporting families through one of the most transformative times in life—welcoming a new baby. Originally from the island of St. Lucia, I bring a nurturing, intuitive approach to newborn care, blending traditional, heart-led caregiving with modern, evidence-based practices. I’ve had the honor of caring for singletons, twins, triplets, and premature babies, and I specialize in creating calm, structured routines that support healthy sleep, feeding, and bonding. My philosophy is rooted in love, patience, and empowerment. I believe every baby is unique and every parent deserves to feel confident, supported, and rested. Whether I’m helping a first-time parent understand feeding cues or guiding a family through sleep transitions, I approach my work with compassion, professionalism, and cultural sensitivity. I’m also trained in lactation support and currently pursuing my degree in Behavioral Health Science with an emphasis on Infancy and Early Childhood Studies to continue deepening my knowledge and care. My goal is always to create a peaceful environment where both baby and family can thrive.

Cheryl is incredible! As a first time mom, I had no idea what I was doing. I am somebody who needs a lot of sleep in order to function, and my husband has a very demanding job so we decided to hire a night nurse for a few weeks to help us out. Cheryl taught me everything I need to know about how to be a mom to my daughter. She was so helpful that we ended up keeping her for three months! By the time Cheryl left, I felt fully confident and taking care of my daughter (who slept 12 hours straight a night thanks to Cheryl.) You can see and feel how much Cheryl loves her job and loves babies. I will be forever grateful to her and will be having her back for any future babies 🤍

Choosing Dayna as my doula was one of the most empowering decisions I made during my pregnancy. I was planning a freebirth and wanted someone by my side who not only respected my autonomy, but also deeply understood the spiritual and instinctual nature of birth. Dayna was that person—and so much more. From the beginning, she held space for my choices without judgment. She offered guidance rooted in wisdom, experience, and deep trust in the birthing process. Her presence gave me the confidence to lean fully into my body and my baby, knowing I was never alone in the journey—even though I chose to birth without medical assistance. Dayna was calm, intuitive, and hands-off in the best way, always available when I needed her but never imposing. She brought peace into the space and honored every aspect of my process, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. If you’re seeking someone who will walk beside you with reverence, respect, and belief in your power, Dayna is that guide. She doesn’t just support birth—she honors it as sacred. I am forever grateful.

Hello I’m an experience certified Newborn Care Specialist / Overnight nanny and daytime nanny. Looking for opportunities to serve family in an overnight/ daytime capacity. I have enjoyed working with newborns and newborn twins 0-12 months for over 14 years. Truly God has gifted me to render special care to precious babies. I love what I do it brings joy to my heart.

We are so glad we found Lena to care for our newborn overnight. Our baby adored her - she would light up with a big smile every night when Lena arrived and greeted her. Lena handled every aspect of overnight care: bathing, feeding, soothing, and washing bottles several times a night to make things easy for us in the morning. She was very reliable: always on time, communicative, and flexible when our schedule changed. Most importantly, we completely trusted her with our newborn. Lena went above and beyond for us, and we recommend her to anyone looking for newborn care.

10 Stars out of 5! Alina was/is simply AMAZING!!!!! She is very caring with a sweet spirit yet stern when necessary. Alina was my doula (01/2025-05/2025) and she came with me to doctor appointments, was available 24/7 to answer and advise me as necessary. She wrote down a very detailed plan on how I wanted my delivery to go, however, quite a bit changed. Alina was there every step of the way, ensuring that I had everything I wanted and needed to be comfortable. She was my voice at the hospital when I had none. The staff tried to ignore my desires, she stood "our" ground and literally held me up. I've also signed a waiver to take home my placenta and the staff attempted to discard it, however Alina intervened and made sure my placenta was packaged correctly, so we can get it to the placenta encapsulation specialist. I literally can go on and on about her. Even during my postpartum care, Alina constantly checked in with me and gave me the support I didn't know I have needed. I would definitely recommend Alina's services to all.

As both a nurse and a caregiver, I bring not only clinical expertise but also a deep sense of compassion and respect for families. My background as a NICU nurse has given me extensive experience in caring for the most fragile and precious little ones, and it has shaped my philosophy of providing care that is safe, nurturing, and centered on the unique needs of each baby. I believe in creating a calm, supportive environment where infants can thrive, while also offering parents peace of mind knowing their child is in capable and caring hands. Caring for newborns is not just my profession—it is my passion. I understand that entrusting someone with your baby is one of the biggest decisions you can make, and my goal is to support families with a balance of clinical knowledge and warm, attentive care. Whether it’s helping a little one adjust to new routines, promoting healthy development, or providing parents with reassurance and guidance, I am dedicated to being a reliable partner in your baby’s earliest days.

Working with Tracy has been a wonderful experience. She brings both professional expertise as a nurse and the nurturing perspective of being a mother of three. Tracy has a calm, reassuring presence and an incredible depth of knowledge about newborn care, safe sleep, and infant soothing. She not only provides exceptional care for babies, but also supports parents in feeling more confident and rested during those challenging early days. Tracy is reliable, compassionate, and flexible, which made such a difference for our family. I would highly recommend her to any parent seeking a newborn specialist or night nanny—you’ll feel at ease knowing your baby is in such capable and caring hands.

Neena was a lifesaver for me and my baby! I was struggling with latching and not making enough milk for my baby. Neena patiently worked with me and my baby until I was confident with latching and helped me boost my milk supply. She also has an online library of videos which she gave me access to so I could learn more about breastfeeding and pumping in my free time. I really liked the videos on pumping and would watch them while feeding at night. Even though Neena gave me some sleep training tips during our time together, I am looking forward to working with her when I am ready to tackle sleep training. I couldn’t have asked for better support—she’s truly amazing!

I will strive to provide you with evidence based, and quality researched resources to support your new and growing family instead of the latest fads and trends in social media parenting. Support will look like assistance with lactation needs, pumping, bottle feeding, and general newborn and postpartum body recovery without leaving your home. I hope to come alongside you in the beginning of your parenting journey, to listen to your worries, to process your birth story, to guide you in areas of concern, and cheer for you with all the growth and success I know you will achieve in parenthood! I look forward to sharing resources, references, recipes, and love with anyone who finds themselves navigating this amazing, (and I will be honest….) difficult, frustrating, scary, joyful, exhausting, and moving time of life.

When I had my baby, Ashley was an incredible comfort and resource! She helped me navigate all of the huge life changes with confidence and grace, and I know without doubt that my family would not have made the transition as seamlessly without her expertise. 1000% recommend!
