Find a Newborn Care Specialist Near Me in Massachusetts

I’ve spent more than 15 years supporting families through birth, postpartum recovery, and overnight newborn care. I began my career as a professional nanny, working closely with more than a dozen children over several years. In 2008, I was honored to be recognized as Nanny of the Year by Family Helpers, and the following year I was selected as a finalist to appear on ABC’s America’s Supernanny. In 2009, I trained as a Birth and Postpartum Doula. Around the same time, I became a parent myself. Experiencing the postpartum period firsthand gave me a deeper understanding of how vulnerable, complex, and important those early weeks can be. That experience ultimately shaped my decision to focus my work on supporting families during birth and the transition home with a new baby. Over the years, I have attended 112 births and supported more than 200 families, including 39 sets of twins, through postpartum and overnight newborn care. As my private practice grew, I founded Nightingale Night Nurses, an overnight newborn care agency based in Massachusetts. Through that work, I built and led a team of experienced Postpartum Doulas, Newborn Care Specialists, and nurses, creating individualized care plans for families seeking overnight and extended newborn support. Building on that foundation, I later expanded the work nationally under the name Well Supported Family, with a continued focus on ethical practices, professional sustainability, and high-quality, family-centered care. We would love the opportunity to support your family's postpartum experience.

With over 30 years of experience in child care—including 16 years as a center director—I began my work as a postpartum doula in 2018.

I love helping new moms navigate the fourth trimester with confidence, combining my training and hands-on experience to make a meaningful difference in their transition. Supporting families during this special time is truly my passion. I’m here to answer your questions and walk alongside you on this beautiful journey.

Hi, I am JennMarie and have been supporting families over the last 25 years as a Childbirth Educator, Labor/Birth, Post-partum Doula, and as a Certified Infant/toddler Montessori teacher. I believe the childbirth experience and fourth trimester is unique for each family and it takes a village. My passion for supporting families with newborns sprouted while working with the pregnant community through pre-natal, post-partum and infant massage when I became pregnant with my first child. I did not have extended family close by so I recognized the value and need for an experienced and compassionate person to help guide me through these transitions without judgment. As a Newborn Care Specialist I find joy in providing education while supporting the emotional and physical well being of the family during this special time. My goal is for the family to unite to feel empowered and confident as they embark on their journey of parenthood!

Hi, I’m Gabriela. I’m a Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula with a heart for caring and a passion that began when I was just a child. I used to tear up every time I saw a newborn, without knowing that one day, supporting babies and their families would become my life’s purpose. Over the years, I turned that deep love into a career through professional training and hands-on experience, supporting over 35 families over the past 8 years. My experience includes working with preemies, twins, NICU babies, and newborns with G-tubes. Whether it’s helping you and your baby get better sleep, offering guidance with feedings, or educating you on newborn and postpartum care, my goal is to support you with compassion and knowledge. Most of all, I want to be someone you can rely on during this precious—and sometimes overwhelming—time.

It's said that breastfeeding a baby is the most natural thing in the world, but it doesn't always come naturally. Like many new parents, I experienced a few challenges while breastfeeding my own children. I want to help others avoid or overcome similar difficulties, if possible. The nursing dyad is such a special relationship and I want as many people as possible to get a chance to experience it. Here in America, lactation consultants are often the only health professional visiting a new family in their home, and sometimes we are the only health care worker seeing a new mom in the first six weeks postpartum. I feel really lucky to be one of the first people to meet the new baby! An IBCLC is a unique professional for your family's unique needs.

Hi, I'm Carrie-Lee! Supporting families has always felt like second nature to me, and after raising three incredible kids of my own, I can honestly say there isn't much that surprises me anymore. My oldest is up in Maine working on his off-grid yurt dream. My middle kid is a junior at Keene State fully immersed in theater tech. And my youngest is a vocalist finishing her freshman year at Berklee College of Music in Spain. Every single one of them came in with their own wild, wonderful personality — and raising them is the best thing I've ever done. When I'm not up late with a newborn or navigating a 3am blowout, you'll find me camping, roller skating, gardening, canning, practicing archery, or slowly working my way toward conversational Spanish. I'm laid back, calm under pressure, realistic, and I genuinely love what I do. Hire me and I promise you'll wonder how you ever thought you could do this without me.
