About Chelsea

Hi, I'm Chelsea! ProDoula Certified Labor and Postpartum Doula, ICT Academy Certified Newborn Care Specialist, and EMSA Certified Nanny. With 20 years of dedicated childcare experience, I'm here to walk alongside you from pregnancy and birth through your postpartum recovery, and those tender early months. I specialize in infant care and safety, feeding support, and gentle sleep and routine shaping. My philosophy is simple: parents deserve to feel rested, empowered, and supported, not just surviving on fumes! Whether I’m holding space during labor, tuning into your baby’s cues by day, or protecting your overnight "WOOSAH" so you actually get some REM sleep, I bring calm, tailored care to your household. When I’m not caring for newborns, I’m raising two humans of my own...a 6-year-old son and a 16-year-old daughter. So yes, I’ve mastered both Roblox diplomacy and teen eye-rolls. I absolutely love getting out in nature, watching psychological thrillers, and—plot twist for a night doula—running purely on some good tea, zero coffee required!

My specialized NCS services offer "Always Awake" overnight care and 24/7 support devoted to keeping your little one safe, gently shaping healthy sleep habits, and guarding your precious rest.

Supporting underserved and underrepresented families is truly the heartbeat of my work, and I am honored to offer sliding-scale options for households with demonstrated financial need. Reach out whenever you’re ready! I'd love to hear your story, check availability, and dream up the right support for your family!

We have had such a great experience with Chelsea and highly recommend her ! She has been a night nanny/postpartum doula since our baby was about 10 days old and has taken such great care of her. She has helped our baby establish great sleep habits. Chelsea is gentle and soothing with our baby and has shared so much knowledge that has helped our family. She provides detailed logs of our baby’s nights which have been so helpful. Chelsea is also exceptionally empathetic and has been so supportive to me at times when the postpartum adjustment was really challenging. We are so thankful that we have had Chelsea to support our family and would be happy to be a future reference!

I am delighted to provide a reference for Chelsea who has been an exceptional nanny for our little one. She cared for our 2 year old son with incredible warmth, professionalism, and dedication, and we could not have asked for a better nanny. From day one, she showed an understanding of child development, engaging our son in activities that nurtured his growth while ensuring his safety and well-being. She is incredibly patient, reliable, and has a natural ability to connect with children, making our child feel loved and secure. Beyond her childcare duties, Chelsea was a wonderful support to our family, managing daily routines, helping with meal prep, or handling unexpected situations with a calm demeanor. Any family would be lucky to have Chelsea as their caregiver. I highly recommend her without reservation! *Contact information available upon request

Handing your newborn to someone overnight is not a small thing, and Chelsea earned our trust on the very first night and kept it for the several months she was with us. What stood out most was how gentle and diligent she was with our baby. Our little one was always her priority, every single night. Her response time was quick, she stayed right in the room, and I never once worried about whether she was sharp and ready. She was. She was wonderful at the small things that make such a difference in those early months. She was so good at soothing and singing, patient about getting gentle burps, and always careful to put our baby down on his back. And when the baby was sleeping soundly, Chelsea never just sat still. She washed bottles, cleaned up, and stayed on top of things without ever being asked or prompted. She was also incredibly good at following directions, even when things changed. We had a lot of formula and digestion issues, so we were constantly adjusting between formula, pumped milk, and different ratios, and Chelsea handled every change with care and got it right. I trusted her completely, and I slept knowing our baby was in the best possible hands. Any family would be lucky to have her.
