About me

As a postpartum doula, newborn care specialist, and night nanny, my role is to provide calm, knowledgeable, and compassionate support to your family during the early weeks and months after your baby arrives. Whether you're recovering from birth, navigating feeding challenges, or simply adjusting to your new routine, I’m here to help ease that transition. I offer hands-on assistance with newborn care, emotional support for parents, guidance on infant sleep and feeding, and evidence-based answers to your questions—all with a gentle, nonjudgmental approach tailored to your family’s unique needs and values. During overnight shifts, I help ensure both baby and parents get the rest they need. While you sleep, I care for your baby—handling feedings, diaper changes, soothing, and monitoring—so you can wake up feeling more rested and ready for the day. My goal is to nurture your confidence as parents while providing practical, reliable care so you feel supported, empowered, and less overwhelmed in this tender time. Whether you need a few nights of rest or ongoing support, I’m here to walk alongside you with knowledge, compassion, and respect.
