Hello! My name is Dorene. I’m seeking a position as a night nanny or postpartum doula. My background is as a mother/baby/pediatric/lactation consultant and lower acuity NICU nurse for the last 20 years. I’m currently enrolled in a postpartum doula certification program and am very excited to use my education and experience in this new role. Services include: lactation support, light housekeeping, post surgical or vaginal recovery care, meal prep, late night/ overnight baby care, basic newborn care education and assistance with siblings. My goal is to leave your family feeling confident , well rested and on a positive breastfeeding journey while minimizing potential complications. I prefer night shifts but am flexible to your family’s needs. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to the privilege of helping you grow your family. Dorene Sokolik RN, IBCLC, NRP, BLS

Dorene was wonderful in helping and supporting my breastfeeding journey. She helped me with both my children in the early stages of breastfeeding. I felt supported emotionally and physically. I had negative experiences with others and she made me the most comfortable and really understood my concerns. She’s an amazing person and down to earth. I definitely recommend her.
