Luciana was an exceptional night doula/newborn care specialist and support for us and our son. She has such a warmth about her and a love for what she does, and she is so knowledgeable; she put our new parent minds at ease, and we learned so much from her. She helped us transition home from a prolonged hospital stay, and she went above and beyond, checking in with us during the day as well to help with feeding and sleep suggestions. Would highly highly recommend her, she is the best!

5.0

Luicana has been the best help and support we got during our postpartum journey as a family.. she was always on time, very professional, good at communicating, very caring and careful with our son, on top of his care and schedule/feeding... our son fed very well with her. She also provided a lot of tips on how to organize his sleep schedule/feeding depending on his age, she printed out a pamphlet with all the information needed to train the baby and organize his naps/sleep which was very helpful. She's very kind and has a calm energy that I really needed, trustworthy, and caring. Definitely we recommend her to our friends and would bring her back again!

Frequently asked questions

What does an Overnight Newborn Care Specialist do?

A Newborn Care Specialist provides expert, hands‑on care for your baby overnight so you can rest and recover. This includes feeding support, diapering, soothing, safe sleep setup, tracking baby’s patterns, and helping establish healthy routines. The goal is to support both baby and parents during the early weeks.

Will you help us create a routine or sleep schedule?

Absolutely. I provide gentle sleep shaping, helping your baby learn healthy sleep habits from the start. This includes guidance on wake windows, feeding rhythms, nap structure, and putting baby down awake. Everything is tailored to your baby’s age and your family’s lifestyle.

Do you accept Carrot Fertility benefits?

Yes, I am a Carrot‑approved provider, and families can use their Carrot benefits toward newborn care and postpartum doula services. I can walk you through the process if you’re unsure how to submit for reimbursement.

What ages do you typically work with?

I support families from birth through the first 12–16 weeks, depending on your needs. Some families hire me right from the hospital, while others bring me in once they’re home and ready for more structured support.

Can you help with breastfeeding or bottle‑feeding?

Yes. I provide non‑clinical feeding support, including breastfeeding guidance, paced bottle‑feeding, pumping routines, and helping you understand your baby’s hunger cues. My goal is to make feeding feel calm, confident, and sustainable.

Will you teach us how to care for the baby, or do you just take over?

Both — depending on what you need. I can fully handle nighttime care so you can rest, or I can teach you everything I’m doing so you feel confident and empowered. My role is to support your parenting style, not replace it.

How far in advance should we book?

Most families book during the second or third trimester, especially for overnight care. However, I do my best to accommodate last‑minute needs, especially for NICU or prolonged hospital stays.

How much does Luciana charge?

Luciana's Price package is $60 USD, per hour.
