Hi I'm Jamie, The Doting Doula. I am a postpartum doula and lactation education counselor and I am here to make your life in the fourth trimester a little bit easier! I offer both overnight and daytime support as well as lactation counseling.

I am an experienced caregiver with over 25 years of experience within traditional family and professional settings. I am currently looking to further my career in caregiving for families, elderly, handicapped persons, or newborns to adolescence. Within my extensive career I have mastered many tasks that families desire when searching for a caregiver. From tasks families are unable to do or simply do not have the patience for I have been able to excel. These tasks range from housekeeping, teaching, tending to medical needs, cooking, and providing overall support to families. My services have allowed families to relax, work, or focus on themselves while I take care of their loved ones. While many see caregiving as “job” I do not. To me caregiving is the act of caring for a family’s loved ones as if they were my own. Seeing a family succeed because of my efforts is my goal. I have no doubt in my mind that I will be a valuable asset to your family. It is with great pleasure that I am able to apply for a position with you. Thank you for your time and considerations. If more information is desired, please feel free to contact me. Kindest regards, Shameena Ibrahim

I work closely with families to ensure we are aligned in routines, sleep, and overall care, while also providing gentle guidance and reassurance during those early and often overwhelming stages of parenthood.

I’m certified through ProDoula and have over 15 years of experience caring for newborns and supporting families during the postpartum period.

As a certified Newborn Care Specialist, Postpartum Doula, and Sleep Consultant, I support families through the newborn and postpartum period with individualized, evidence-based care.

After moving to the United States in 2016, I built my career caring primarily for babies, with the majority of my experience focused on newborns and infants. In 2022, I completed my Newborn Care Specialist training, further strengthening my expertise in newborn and postpartum care, and have continued expanding my education in postpartum support and infant sleep. Throughout my career, I have provided overnight newborn care, feeding support, promoted healthy sleep habits, established age-appropriate routines, and cared for premature newborns and multiples.

Hello everyone! My name is Soleil Townes, I am the owner of Evangeline Birthing Services, which provides full-spectrum doula services to those in select counties in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. I have a passion for helping queer families of color have beautiful birth experiences and receive the support they need whether that is grief support or adoption support. I fell in love with birth work during my years at Montclair State University where I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Family Sciences and Human Development. While there, I took a class called “Medical Humanities” where I learned the different health disparities different ethnicities have faced in our health care system. What stood out to me was how Black birthing persons have such high birthing mortality rates. And upon further research, I stumbled upon the beauty and importance of birth work. I have always had a passion for helping queer families of color, and this shines through my work. I have over 5 years of childcare experience before becoming a doula. When I'm not working, I spend my free time expanding my hobbies: video games, reading, attending comic and anime conventions, community service, watching cartoons, and creating handmade jewelry.

My name is Megan Mendoza, I’m a birth doula and am passionate about educating birthing people and helping them learn about their options when it comes to childbirth and postpartum. I have an incredible husband, David. Together we have two amazing and very energetic little boys Grover and August, and a sweet heart of a dog Lola. As a family we love to hike and travel as much as we can. While I was pregnant with our second (August) we traveled full time in a school bus converted into a tiny house. This is when I really found my voice to advocate for myself. Everyone thought (and told us several times!) that we were crazy for having a young toddler and expanding our family while we didn’t have a "typical" house. But I knew that it was possible and that I was going to have the birth I had dreamed about. A few months later I was able to have an empowered V-BAC birth. Through this experience I discovered my love for helping women find their own voices and to help advocate for themselves to have the empowered births they desire, whatever that may be.
