Debora was our night doula earlier this year for our daughter. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula for their newborn or infant. She is extremely professional and punctual. She loves children and makes sure your child is safe, clean and fed throughout the night. I trust her with my child’s life and recommend her to anyone looking for nighttime support during the newborn stage.

Debora helped us overnight for over two months, and we couldn’t be more thankful for her support. She was very caring and nurturing to our daughter. Also, being first time parents, she gave us a lot of insight and knowledge along the way. I especially appreciated that Debora constantly checked in with us to understand if we wanted to change anything in the routine or have her do something differently. We tracked details and sleep time in an app. Debora was great at tracking everything that happened overnight and would provide a short recap for us in the morning. She also reviewed the details we put in before arriving so she knew how baby girl was doing that day. There are many more small and big actions she took to make the experience positive.

Débora is incredibly kind, patient, and nurturing, and she was truly wonderful with my newborn. From the very first day, it was clear that she has a deep and thoughtful understanding of newborn development and milestones—she noticed the little things, anticipated our baby’s needs, and always approached each moment with gentleness and care. Her cheerful and calming presence had a very positive impact on our baby’s mood and overall well-being, bringing warmth, joy, and steadiness into our daily routine. I always felt completely at ease knowing my baby was in her care, as she is attentive, trustworthy, and consistently goes above and beyond. I can wholeheartedly recommend Débora without hesitation and am deeply grateful for the love and expertise she brought to our home.

Debora was my strongest support pillar during my postpartum. She took care of me and my baby so well during first couple Months which gave me much needed rest during that time. She took great care of my baby with feeding, soothing , maintaining her sleep cycles, bathing, keeping her clean and sanitized etc. she also proactively found things around the house to take care so I don’t need to worry about it including laundry, organizing, bottles, baby stuff, and many more things. It made such huge difference for me by having her support and it helped me get back to routine in short time frame. She defined what having postpartum looks like with such high bar that I haven’t seen anyone else would be able to match for me. She also helped my baby with belly massages while she was in pain due to gas and bloating. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to newborn care and I learned so many things from Her related newborn care, breast feeding and pumping that are so valuable.
