Debbie is amazing! She is an incredible postpartum doula and teacher. She came into my home and immediately set me at ease. She knows all things "baby" so much better. She has the best attitude, and me and my son always look forward to the next time she is coming over. You are in the best hands with Ms. Debbie

Caring for babies and supporting new families has always been a real part of who I am. Before I ever earned certifications, I was already the person everyone trusted with their newborns, toddlers, and the most sensitive moments of early parenting. Becoming a Certified Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula simply helped me put skill and structure behind something that has always come naturally to me. I understand how overwhelming the newborn stage can feel from the exhaustion, the learning curve, the emotions that come with healing and adjusting and my goal is to bring calm, confidence, and comfort into a family’s home. I take my time learning each baby’s unique cues and each mother’s individual needs so I can support both in a gentle, respectful, and compassionate way. i believe every family deserves to feel supported, every baby deserves to feel safe, and every mother deserves to be cared for during one of the most important transitions of her life. I believe in nurturing the whole family, not just the newborn, by creating peaceful routines, offering evidence based guidance, and providing help that feels loving rather than intrusive. Whether I’m assisting with nighttime care, helping a mom rest and recover, supporting feeding goals, or creating a comfortable rhythm in the home, I show up with patience, kindness, and understanding. My intention is always the same to make those early days feel lighter, to help parents feel more confident, and to leave families feeling stronger than when I arrived.

Jessica's care went far beyond simply watching our son overnight. During every shift, she closely monitored him while also helping around the house washing bottles, doing his laundry, tidying up, and keeping everything running smoothly. She continuously educated herself on the latest infant sleep practices and shared that knowledge with us, adapting her care as our son grew and his needs changed. She didn't just care for our baby; she taught and supported us as parents. Jessica also brought so much genuine love and thoughtfulness to her work. She celebrated milestones with us, bought thoughtful gifts for our son, and truly cared about him as if he were her own family. Her warmth and generosity were evident in everything she did.

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

Chelsea is an amazing and needed doula! Her soothing vibe and willingness to help on the spot are two of the many great qualities she possesses that made me cherish her help during my pregnancy through postpartum. Each session I walked away feeling more confident about my labor and ended up giving birth naturally using many techniques she taught us. Thank you Chelsea, I love you girl!
