I’m Donesha, a newborn care specialist with 11 years of experience working alongside medical teams in some of the most specialized newborn care settings. My background includes five years in a Level 4 NICU, five years in a Level 3 NICU, five years in Labor and Delivery Transition, and five years in postpartum care. Working as a CNA in these environments gave me an invaluable, hands-on education in neonatal care and deeply shaped my understanding of newborns across the full spectrum of needs. My experience has made me comfortable and confident supporting complex situations, including premature infants, cleft palate, colic, GERD, reflux, apnea, oxygen therapy, NG and G-tube care, and NICU-to-home transitions. I also have extensive experience supporting families with multiples and infants with disabilities. I’m skilled at recognizing changes in a newborn’s condition, and I bring a calm, knowledgeable, and reassuring presence into every home I work in. When working with families, I provide overnight newborn care, feeding support, diapering, bathing, nursery organization, bottle washing and preparation, breastfeeding assistance, sleep training, medication administration, and newborn care education. I’m passionate about sharing evidence-based guidance and helping parents feel confident in caring for their little ones, while always respecting their individual wishes, preferences, and parenting styles. I genuinely love being part of such a special season in a family’s life and feel honored to help make the transition into parenthood as smooth and supported as possible. Outside of work, I’m a self-described girly girl and true foodie! I love brunch, shopping, listening to music, and anything pink. I bring that same warm, vibrant, and caring energy into every home I enter, and I love building meaningful connections with the families I support.

I am an experienced NICU nurse with a deep love for newborns and a true passion for supporting families during those precious early weeks.

My approach is calm, attentive, and safety-focused, and I pride myself on creating a peaceful nighttime environment that supports healthy sleep habits and overall well-being. As a mother of six and grandmother of four, I understand firsthand both the joy and the exhaustion that come with welcoming a new baby. I believe in partnering with parents, respecting their preferences, and offering reassurance, education, and hands-on support throughout the night. My goal is always to provide expert care for your baby while giving you the rest and peace of mind you deserve.

Hi, I’m Nicole! I was born in Houston but raised in Chireno, a small East Texas town just outside of Nacogdoches, and this area has always been home to me. For the past eight years, I’ve owned and managed a cosmetic store in downtown Nacogdoches, and before that, I worked as a CNA for three years. As well as a substitute teacher at a preschool for a year. Looking back, caring for and connecting with people has always been at the heart of what I do. My love for birth work really began after supporting my best friend during her birth in 2024, but watching my sister give birth alongside her doula in March 2026 truly confirmed that this was where my heart belonged. That experience inspired me to start The Nurtured Nest, where I provide birth and postpartum doula support to families in East Texas. My goal is simply to help families feel calm, informed, heard, and genuinely cared for during such an important season of their lives. I’m so excited to continue growing in birth work, serving families in my community, and seeing where this journey takes me!
