Night Nannies & Night Nurses Near Me in Hackensack, NJ

I know what it feels like to need a village and not have one. I'm Jessica, a prenatal and postpartum doula and a fellow mother who navigated early parenthood without the support system I needed. I adjusted - but I know now how much smoother, calmer, and more joyful that season could have been with the right person beside me. That experience is the foundation of my work. I serve the whole family to prepare and thrive in the first weeks: the mother who is recovering her body, the partner learning to lead, perhaps an older child adjusting to a new sibling, and the baby who just needs to be held while someone who loves them eats a warm meal. My work is also rooted in a deep personal faith - a belief that we are each given exactly what we can carry, and that we were never meant to carry it alone. Whatever your background or beliefs, know that i bring that same spirit of grace and purpose to every family I serve. I am not here to share my faith with you; I am here because of it.

My priority is always to create a safe, calm, loving environment where babies can thrive and parents can feel supported. I would be honored to become a trusted part of your family's journey. ❤️

Welcome to Yes Doula! My name is Letisha McFarlane Hadley, and I am a DONA-trained Birth Doula, Bebo Mia trained Postpartum Doula, Certified Orgasmic Birth Practitioner, Mental Health First Aider and Co-Founder of Yes Doula, a New Jersey-based maternal wellness practice supporting families through both in-person and virtual care. My journey into birth work began at 21, when I supported my mother through her pregnancy and cesarean birth. Years later, I had the honor of supporting my sister through the births of my nieces. These experiences, along with my own three empowering and pleasurable births, sparked a deep calling to support other women and families through the transformative experience of birth. My perspective on birth shifted profoundly through the Orgasmic Birth Practitioner Program and Debra Pascali-Bonaro’s film, Orgasmic Birth: The Best Kept Secret. It became more clear to me, the powerful connection between birth, sensuality, love, and pleasure. This inspired me to share a different vision of birth: one that moves beyond fear and centers trust, connection, choice, and the body's innate wisdom. At Yes Doula, I believe every woman deserves to feel informed, supported, and empowered to make choices that reflect her needs and desires. Whether you are preparing for an unmedicated birth, a VBAC, an epidural-supported birth, or simply seeking a more connected and conscious birth experience, I am here to support you without judgment. I offer personalized in-person and virtual birth and postpartum support, meeting families where they are and providing care that fits their needs. From prenatal preparation and continuous labor support to newborn care guidance and the adjustment to life after birth, my goal is to help you feel supported throughout your journey. I also believe that partners deserve to be informed, included, and empowered. Through education, birth preparation, and partner support, I help families approach birth as a shared experience.
