Night Nurses & Night Nannies in Holland, MI

I'm a career nanny and Newborn Care Specialist with a Master's in Childhood Studies. I'm also currently working towards certification as a post-natal mental health specialist. My approach to working with both parents and children is a calm environment, lots of empathy, and a focus on parental well-being and children's rights. I've primarily worked with children ages newborn to 5 years old, with focused interest in sleep, development, language acquisition, and children's rights- particularly how caregivers can apply the UNCRC to the every day care of children. I've been blessed with some amazing, lovely nanny families throughout my career, and I've had the good fortune to work with both celebrity clients and members of a royal family. I'm very easy-going, I tend to get along with everyone, and I value kindess, tolerance, and communication.

As an experienced childcare provider, emergency department patient care assistant, former flight attendant, and current nursing student, I bring a unique combination of caregiving, healthcare, safety, and family-support experience to my work with new families. My background has taught me the importance of staying calm under pressure, anticipating needs, communicating clearly, and creating a safe and reassuring environment for those in my care. My goal is to support parents, especially new and postpartum mothers, during one of the most beautiful and demanding transitions of life. I believe families deserve a calm, dependable presence in their home and infants deserve patient, attentive care that allows them to feel safe and nurtured. Whether providing overnight newborn care, helping a recovering mother get some much-needed rest, or simply offering an extra set of capable hands, I strive to create a supportive environment where the entire family can rest, adjust, and grow together with confidence.

Hi there, my name is Sara and I am a certified birth and postpartum doula with an M.A. in Early Childhood Development. I have been providing compassionate care for babies, children and adults for over 20 years. My love for helping others has helped me gain valuable experience as a teacher, youth treatment specialist, nanny, mentor, wellness/life coach, and a caregiver for individuals with specials needs. I am also currently working on my yoga teacher certification and studying herbalism. I am dedicated to providing compassionate care and guidance to parents and families; helping them to feel supported and empowered through out their pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum journey.

Hello, my name is Kayla. I have worked in the childcare field for 10 years from church nurseries, daycare centers, and ABA clinics. I am a mother as well with a special needs girl at home. I take pride in helping families feel that comfort that their child is in good hands. I’m drawn to this because of the closer relationship to a family and independent work. I am CPR certified and very flexible/eager to help with anything! In my free time I enjoy cooking, spending time with my family, and going to the beach.

My name is Meghon! I'm a mom of 2 three and under, a c-section mama, home birth mama, formula mama, and exclusively breastfeeding mama! If there's one thing I take away from parenting, it's that it's a journey and there's a ton of right ways to do it. You're doing great! As a postpartum doula, I am committed to providing compassionate, nonjudgemental, and trauma informed care and guidance for mothers, partners, and families. I believe that the postpartum period deserves as much attention and care as pregnancy and birth, and I'm passionate about fostering an environment where families can thrive, grow, heal, and create lasting memories while they get to know their newest tiny bestie.

Hi! I’m currently a full time night shift registered nurse on a psychiatric medical unit. Throughout nursing school I was a nanny working with a family from birth to almost 2 years of age. I spent most of my adolescence babysitting, volunteering at local elementary schools, and recently was a volunteer for new moms in need. I am used to staying up through the night for work and would love to help a family out during the night.

I have been a certified professional postpartum doula and infant feeding specialist for the past six years. I specialize in overnight care and sleep support. I live in Grand Rapids with my husband and three daughters.

Hi! I'm Abbey. I've been an infant nanny for more than ten years, ranging from full-time to as-needed. Night nannying has been my favorite, and I'm working toward a Newborn Care Specialist credential! I love working with new moms (and dads), comforting the understandable anxiety, trying out new "tricks" and methods for baby's care, and enjoying all the little milestones together as a team. I believe parents know their child best and do my best to follow their lead(s) and needs in addition to baby's. Safety is extremely important to me. I'm vaccinated, I don't smoke/chew, I love dogs and cats, and I have reliable transportation! I am knowledgeable in sleep training and have experience with medically needy, colicky, and gassy babies. I am trained in Infant CPR, First Aid, safe sleep, swaddling techniques, and general feeding protocols (breastmilk and formula). Right now, I also work as a book editor (self-employed). I have a Bachelor's in English and Creative Writing. I'm a big believer in getting to know each other first! Let's meet for coffee, chat on the phone--whatever you'd like! I'm grateful you took the time to read this! :) Abbey

Hello I’m Petra I have 9 years of Nanny work and have gone through a 16 week Full Spectrum Doula course to include Fertility, Labor, and Postpartum training

Hello, and welcome. My name is Melissa, and I’m the doula and heart behind Held at Tulia — a space rooted in stillness, strength, and deep presence. “Tulia” means to be calm in Swahili, and that spirit of grounded peace shapes the care I offer. As a full-spectrum doula, I walk alongside you through all the sacred and complex chapters of your reproductive journey — from fertility and birth to postpartum, loss, and every moment in between. My approach is intuitive, nonjudgmental, and rooted in honoring your autonomy and wisdom. As a woman, I understand how vital it is to feel truly seen, heard, and held — especially in moments when the world doesn’t always offer that care freely. I am committed to creating a space where your choices are respected, your identity is affirmed, and your experiences are witnessed with compassion. Whether you're preparing for birth, navigating abortion or loss, healing in postpartum, or simply seeking steady hands and an open heart — you belong here. Held at Tulia is not just a service, but a sanctuary.

Hello! I am a student postpartum doula near South Haven, with a special interest in maternal mental health.

Because I am still working towards certification, my rates are adjusted accordingly.

Hi, I’m Jaynie!

I offer the families I work with unique expertise in newborn care, emotional and physical birth parent support, and parental education and family support. My job is to nurture and care for the newborn, the birth parent, and the entire family. As your Newborn Care Specialist, I’ll establish safe and comforting sleep practices, help you develop an easy-to-maintain daily and nightly schedule and routine, and create a system to track feedings, diaper changes, and sleep. I’ll also educate you on any aspects of newborn care you don’t feel confident in, especially for preemies, multiples, and/or medically fragile newborns. Most importantly, I will be there for overnights, responding to your baby’s needs while you get a full night of SLEEP!

I’m a nurse with expertise in neonatal care. I love babies, and love helping mothers!

I believe support for each mama looks different. I am passionate about supporting moms who are first time moms, single moms and moms who are looking to birth unmedicated whether in hospital or out of hospital birth. I have had two home births and I hope to help empower other mama's and their voice in their pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience.

Meet Mary Broene | Postpartum & Infant Care Doula Mary Broene is a certified Postpartum & Infant Care Doula through ProDoula who is passionate about helping families feel supported, confident, and cared for during the transition into life with a newborn. With experience as a Lactation Peer Counselor and a mother of four, Mary brings a unique combination of professional knowledge, hands-on experience, and genuine compassion to every family she serves. Her passion for postpartum care was shaped by her own motherhood journey, including the experience of welcoming a premature baby and navigating time in the NICU. These experiences gave Mary a deep appreciation for the emotional and physical challenges that can accompany the postpartum season and strengthened her desire to provide families with the reassurance and individualized care they deserve. Mary believes postpartum support should extend beyond caring for the baby. Her approach centers on nurturing the entire family by helping parents rest, recover, build confidence, and feel more comfortable in their new roles. From newborn care and feeding guidance to overnight support, she strives to create a peaceful, supportive environment where parents can focus on healing, bonding, and enjoying those precious early moments with their baby. With her background in lactation support, Mary is especially passionate about helping families navigate feeding with confidence and without judgment. She understands that every family and feeding journey is different and takes the time to offer encouragement, education, and support tailored to each family’s needs. Outside of her work as a doula, Mary enjoys life with her husband and four children in Allendale, Michigan. She loves spending summer days by the family pool, making memories at Disney, coaching soccer, and cheering her children on in their activities. Family time is at the heart of who she is, and she brings that same genuine care and dedication to the families she supports. Mary feels honored to walk alongside new parents during such a transformative season of life. Her goal is to help families feel less overwhelmed, more rested, and confident in their ability to care for their newest little one—providing the hands-on assistance, encouragement, and compassionate support they need every step of the way.

Hello! My name is Kim Ballinger. I am a postpartum doula located in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I completed training through DONA and am currently working on my certification. Becoming a new parent can be scary and overwhelming, that's where I come in! I am here to help and encourage you through your journey.

I'm a West Michigan mom of four who married her high school sweetheart and runs on chocolate & peanut butter. As a health educator by degree, my desire to support & champion others flourishes every time I hear a birth story. This fascination I have for all things pregnancy, birth & postpartum that led me to become a doula stems from my own experience advocating for my birth wishes and learning to trust my intuition. I hope every birthing person I meet knows this - your birth experience matters, your intuition is mighty and I will always be your supporter.
