I am a Certified Newborn Care Specialist, Certified Postpartum Doula, and Certified Infant Sleep Consultant with over a decade of hands-on experience supporting families through the newborn and postpartum stages. I am also certified in Safe Sleep Education and HIPAA Compliance, and I am an active member of the Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric & Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN), allowing me to provide evidence-based care in alignment with OB-GYN and perinatal teams. My expertise lies in overnight newborn care, particularly with high-needs infants, including freshly discharged NICU infants, premature multiples, and medically complex babies, with experience supporting individualized feeding plans, including NG tube care and feeding tube management, in close collaboration with parents and medical teams. I am also experienced in developmental sleep conditioning and establishing structured yet gentle routines that promote healthy sleep patterns. I provide attentive, high-level postpartum support, ensuring both baby and parents are cared for with intention, discretion, and professionalism. I approach every family with a calm, intuitive presence, creating an environment that feels both restful and reassuring. My care style is gentle, detail-oriented, and rooted in safety, while remaining adaptable to each baby’s temperament and each family’s unique dynamic. I take pride in not only supporting infants, but also in guiding parents to feel confident, informed, and at ease during this transition. Having worked with singletons, multiples, and extremely preterm infants, I am comfortable in high-responsibility roles and thrive in environments that require both attentiveness and emotional intelligence. I am deeply committed to safe sleep practices and maintaining the highest standards of care at all times. In addition to my clinical experience, I bring a strong background in client relations, business development, and creative production, along with leadership training from Harvard Business School and a professional certificate in Corporate Finance from Columbia. This allows me to integrate seamlessly, communicate effectively, and uphold a high level of professionalism in every interaction. I am seeking opportunities with families who value a thoughtful, elevated level of care, where I can provide consistent, nurturing support while helping create a sense of balance, rest, and confidence during the postpartum period.

It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Fontanne Bassey. She cared for my baby, Amelia, and was truly exceptional in every way. Fontanne stood out immediately for her professionalism, warmth, and deep expertise in newborn care. Fontanne specializes in working with newborns and demonstrated remarkable knowledge of baby development and activities. She thoughtfully introduced engaging, age-appropriate routines and executed them diligently and on time. She was always punctual, dependable, and communicated with me clearly and consistently throughout the day. Fontanne kept detailed track of Amelia’s naps, feedings, and general well-being, which gave me complete peace of mind as a parent. Beyond her childcare expertise, Fontanne went above and beyond in every aspect—cleaning bottles, offering to do light laundry, and keeping the nursery tidy and organized. Her calm, nurturing presence and proactive approach made her an invaluable support to our family. I wholeheartedly recommend Fontanne to any family, childcare agency, or educational program seeking someone who is compassionate, reliable, and deeply knowledgeable about infant care. She exceeded every expectation and will undoubtedly bring the same excellence, positivity, and dedication wherever she goes. Sincerely, Alma Frith

Hi there! I’m Megan Boswell, a passionate International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) dedicated to supporting families in their breastfeeding journey. Let me share a bit about myself! After experiencing my own challenges with breastfeeding my first child, I became determined to ensure that no one else felt alone or unsupported in their feeding journey. That's what led me to pursue becoming an IBCLC, and I haven't looked back since. With five years of experience under my belt, I've honed my skills through various classes and certifications, including Masterclass, Gut Brain, and Older Baby courses. This, coupled with my Bachelor of Science degree and Registered Lactation Consultant (RLC) certification, allows me to provide comprehensive and holistic lactation support. Based in Sugar Land, I happily serve families in surrounding areas like Missouri City, Richmond, Rosenberg, and Bellaire. And yes, I offer virtual visits too, because accessibility is key to supporting families wherever they are. One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is witnessing the confidence families gain as they watch their children thrive and grow into healthy individuals. It's truly a privilege to be a part of that journey. Outside of work, I cherish spending time with my own family, including my three wonderful kids, and indulging in hobbies like reading and baking. When it comes to supporting breastfeeding families, I believe in tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs and preferences of each family. Whether it's offering baby-led latch techniques, laid-back breastfeeding positions, or simply lending a listening ear, I'm here to support families every step of the way. I also understand that breastfeeding can sometimes feel overwhelming or uncertain, which is why I prioritize open communication and empowerment. Together, we'll navigate any challenges and find small, manageable steps to get you back on track with confidence.

Hanna was my doula for the birth of my second child and I can’t say enough good things about her. She took the time to listen to my history, my goals, anxieties/worries, as well as my expectations of her as my doula. During our meetings, she always provided lots of helpful information regarding exercises that can help my discomforts during pregnancy, meditation, labor positions, ways my husband can help me throughout pregnancy as well as during contractions, etc. All of this helped me prepare mentally, physically and emotionally for the big day. Most importantly, her calm and grounding presence and the emotional support she provided during labor was so helpful in keeping me and my husband stay focused and motivated while feeling safe and supported. Thanks to Hanna, I had a very positive birth experience and I was able to give birth to a healthy baby girl! She continues to follow up with me regarding breastfeeding which is helpful. Hanna truly cares about her clients I would without a doubt recommend her to anyone looking for a doula!

Laura is absolutely amazing! I was a little late to the process of finding a doula, but I am so incredibly grateful for her flexibility, support, and guidance throughout my preparation for birth. Once I went into labor, Laura consistently checked in with me and my family until she was able to arrive at the hospital. When she arrived, I was asleep, but she immediately jumped in—introducing herself to my family, getting up to date on my progress, and building a wonderful rapport with everyone. Throughout my labor, Laura was such a calming and supportive presence. She helped me relax with essential oils, light hand massages, and breathing exercises. She worked alongside my nurse to help me change positions, supported me through contractions, counted with me during pushing, and even held my leg up while I delivered my daughter. She was truly there for me every step of the way. After my daughter was born, Laura also helped me with breastfeeding and getting my daughter to latch. Her support didn’t stop after we left the hospital. In the days and weeks following my birth, she continued checking in on me and my family, making sure we were doing okay and even providing additional resources when needed. I am so grateful to have had Laura by my side during such an important and emotional time in my life. She made me feel supported, cared for, and never alone. I would absolutely recommend her to any expecting mother looking for a compassionate and dedicated doula!

Hannah is truly the BEST! She is incredibly knowledgeable, but what really sets her apart is how caring and down-to-earth she is. She has a way of making you feel completely comfortable and at ease from the moment you meet her. You can tell she genuinely cares about the people she works with, and she makes every experience feel easy and enjoyable. I can’t recommend Hannah enough.
