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.

Hey there! My name is Alexandra however most come to call me Alex. I’ve been a postpartum doula for the past 16 years! I was born in Haiti and i practice all of the indigenous birth practices of my country. Ranging from postpartum nutrition, postpartum herbal bath and massage as well as postpartum closing bone ceremony. My passion is caring for mama as she cares for baby. Allowing her the space to navigate her new role whether it be her first baby or her ninth with the upmost care, patience and kindness and with my full support and knowledge. Let us build a village together

Recent review

After having a pregnancy that was not like my first for reasons other than health, I received a postpartum herbal bath from Alexandra. The experience was truly exceptional as the way in which she took her time to curate a bath that was specific to me and my needs was barely the pinnacle of my experience. In moments of uncertainty as a mother, whether it is your first or your third, the care you receive matters. Receiving care from Alexandra is an experience within itself that can only be described within a feeling, one that is sweetened with care and someone who is committed to carrying you to the other of your vulnerability. I recommend her services to others as she is an exceptional individual who is serious about her craft and the care of the children in which she assisted in coming into this world. Again, I can not fully put into words what it is like as you would have to experience her services to understand. I can say within a day I was up and walking, and the aches and pain had vanished seemingly overnight after the bath. Simply plain and put she is passionate and dedicated and will show up for you.

My name is Samantha Dorleus, and I’m from Miami, Florida. I’m the youngest of my older siblings, and growing up, I’ve always taken on the role of caretaker for my younger cousins. As my older sister and brother had children, it became second nature for me to help care for my nephews. When I found out I was pregnant, I knew I was ready for the journey ahead. Becoming a mother has been the most amazing experience of my life! Watching my daughter grow from a tiny baby in my belly to the beautiful little sunflower she is today has been truly incredible. Now that she’s 5 years old, I know I still have so much to learn as she continues to grow, but I’m beyond grateful to have her in my life. With my extensive experience caring for children since a young age, I’ve worked in after-school programs, summer camps, and preschools since 2015. Caring for children is something I’ve always loved and admired. I am now certified as a Doula and look forward to providing services to elevate and advocate for mothers, especially by offering postpartum/prenatal care. It’s my mission to support women as they navigate this beautiful but sometimes overwhelming journey of motherhood. I’m currently a full-time mom and, in my spare time, I enjoy cooking, crafting, working out, and finding new ways to support my daughter’s growth and development. I also love exploring new foods, with Caribbean cuisine being one of my favorites! I’m excited to offer my services and look forward to being of help to you 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.

As a holistic doula, childbirth educator, and lactation counselor, I seek to provide expecting mothers support both physical and emotional alongside evidence-based information and advocacy during every phase of their journey. I am there to be an unwavering source of non-judgemental support, comfort, reassurance, and information.

I recently had the privilege of booking a postpartum session with Destiny, and I can confidently say it was a game-changer for my breastfeeding journey.Destiny's expertise and genuine care were evident from the moment we connected. Not only did she help me increase my milk supply, but she also taught me invaluable techniques and insights that I hadn't known before.What stood out the most was Destiny's spirit – she radiates warmth and compassion, making me feel supported and understood every step of the way. Her passion for helping breastfeeding moms shines through in everything she does.Thanks to Destiny's guidance, I feel more empowered and confident in my breastfeeding journey. I can't recommend her enough to any mom seeking support and guidance during the postpartum period.Thank you, Destiny, for being an incredible support system and making a positive difference

Hello! My name is Marcela and from a young age I’ve felt a calling to help those who cannot speak for themselves, this is why I initially became a Veterinarian Technician. After enjoying that field for many years I wanted to specialize in OB/GYN sonography. Plans were put on hold as I welcomed my blessing. During my pregnancy I took all sorts of classes to prepare for birth, but, when it came to the hospital, things didn’t go as planned and I was stripped from my birth rights ! I never want another mother to feel the way I felt or be treated the way I was. Every woman deserves to feel empowered, supported and loved throughout their pregnancy, labor and delivery, postpartum and lactation journey. My passion for doula work only grew as I learned the statistics with minority women and I am ready to be a part of that change! I want to be a part of the statistic that decreases birth mortality.
