About Deborah

My name is Deborah Bennett i am a mother of 3 adult children, a Certified Postpartum Doula, certified Home Health Aide, experienced Newborn Care Specialist and certified in Adult and Pediatric CPR and First Aid, experienced in assisting families in the fourth trimester. Experienced in assisting with sleep training. I don't mind traveling for jobs. I offer 24/7 live in service statewide, as well as 12 hour day or night shifts but only in surrounding areas closer to Manhattan and Brooklyn New York. I have assisted 28 families so far in New York, New Jersey, Chicago, Texas and California. I am from Jamaica and currently live in Virginia and Brooklyn. I believe that with the right sensitive approach and careful assistance, a family can quickly adjust to their new addition to their family. Before i start a job, i meet with the family online and carefully assess the family's dynamics to determine their unique needs. I am here to meet each family wherever they are. Supporting them through tangible tasks, navigating feedings, diaper changes, baby's laundry, sleep training and light cleaning up, while nourishing them with home-cooked meals, or simply holding non-judgmental talk space for anything that's on their mind. Carefully monitoring the mother's physical and mental healing and the babies growth and development. Postpartum care is my passion and my unltimate goal is to empower the parents, providing them with the resources, knowledge and skills they will need to continue their postpartum journey comfortably even when my duties ends. Allowing the mother to rest and recover quicker, also allowing the father to rest as well. For bookings i can be contacted by my cell: 934-867-6890 or email: bennettdebbie7575@gmail.com

Debbie was incredible support during the first few weeks of caring for our newborn daughter as I recovered from delivery and we adjusted to parenthood as first-time parents. Her top priority was always our daughter’s care, handling everything related to her needs, including diaper changes, laundry, and organizing her belongings. Debbie is kind, patient, respectful, and extremely professional. She made us feel comfortable and confident while teaching us essential newborn care skills, from diapering and feeding to bathing and soothing. Beyond hands-on care, she helped us stay organized, offered thoughtful product recommendations, and shared valuable tips for the future. Her knowledge, calm demeanor, and supportive approach made a meaningful difference during such a sensitive and important time in our lives.

Deborah was my night nurse with my final son or third child. She wasn't just a care giver to my son but also helped nurse me back to life. She's a wonderful person, so caring and kind. I couldn't recommend her services for care enough.

I am writing this letter in strong support of Deborah, who worked for my family as a doula and infant caretaker from September through December for approximately fourteen weeks, caring for my newborn daughter. From the moment Deborah joined our home, she demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, expertise, and care. Entrusting a newborn to someone requires complete confidence, and Deborah earned that trust immediately. During her time with us, our daughter struggled significantly with reflux-related feeding issues that were both challenging and, at times, frightening. Deborah’s experience and knowledge were invaluable during this period. She recognized symptoms quickly, understood how to safely manage difficult and uncomfortable feeds, and implemented thoughtful, medically informed techniques to support our daughter’s comfort and safety. Her steady presence and clear guidance helped us navigate situations that felt overwhelming, and her ability to remain composed and reassuring during stressful moments made a profound difference for our family. Deborah provided comprehensive newborn support including feeding guidance, sleep routines, soothing techniques, and general infant care, always prioritizing our daughter’s physical and emotional well-being. Beyond her professional skills, Deborah is a person of strong character and integrity. She is dependable, discreet, kind, and deeply committed to the families she serves. She consistently arrived on time, communicated clearly, and conducted herself with the utmost professionalism. Her work ethic and dedication are evident in everything she does. Deborah made a meaningful and lasting impact on our family. I recommend her without hesitation to any family seeking a highly skilled, trustworthy, and compassionate doula or infant caretaker.
