About me

Hello Im Dayle and I am a post partum doula and night nurse from Toronto, Canada. As a creative, energetic, stable and thoughtful person who loves kids, I enjoy caregiving and find it natural. I love to engage childrens imagination through play, nature, baking, libraries, gardening etc . I have years of experience nannying for folks working in the film industry in Los Angeles, Topanga, Malibu, Brooklyn, Manhattan and Toronto forming genuine bonds with families that last. I got my birth & post patrum doula training in Toronto in 2022 and have attended births and provided post partum care for mothers including night nursing which has been a joy because I believe healthy/resourced families create strong communities !

Having Dayle with us for the birth was such a gift. She brought a calm, steady energy while also being incredibly intuitive and present. I felt supported, heard, and never alone. She has a beautiful way of making you feel safe and cared for during such a big experience

Dayle was such a wonderful presence in our family. She is warm, creative, grounded, and genuinely loves being with children. Our kids loved all the imaginative play, baking, gardening, and adventures she brought into their days. She became someone we truly trusted and cared about, and we still keep in touch

Dayle was exactly the kind of support we needed during those early weeks of becoming parents. She was thoughtful, nurturing, practical, and completely nonjudgmental. She helped make our home feel calmer while giving me the space to rest and recover. We felt very cared for with her around.

Dayle came in last minute when our original doula could not make it, and she was an absolute blessing! She had everything my wife needed and asked for in her doula bag, ready to go, at her service. She has warmth, a sense of play, and is skilled in breath work and other techniques that helped my wife through her natural birth (no drugs!). highly recommend.
