Nora Morales - Newborn Care Specialist

About Nora

Hello! I’m Nora, an experienced Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula with over 35 years of professional childcare experience, including 26 years specializing in newborn care. My journey began in 1991 as a professional nanny caring for children of different ages. In 2000, a dear friend introduced me to the wonderful world of overnight newborn care, and I quickly discovered my true passion. I completed my Postpartum Doula training in 2005 and continued my professional education in newborn care in 2007. Throughout the years, I’ve expanded my knowledge through additional training in lactation education, infant sleep shaping, and age-appropriate sleep training. One of the most meaningful experiences of my career began in 2006, when I was hired to care for newborn twins. What started as an overnight position developed into a wonderful nine-year relationship with their family. During those years, two more babies joined the family, and I had the privilege of helping establish healthy sleep routines for each of them. Years later, another family welcomed me into their home to care for their twins. Once again, what began as newborn care turned into a five-year commitment. Throughout these long-term positions, I continued supporting other families with overnight newborn care, allowing me to stay actively involved in the work I love most. My areas of experience and specialty include: * Overnight newborn care and postpartum support * Twins, triplets, and multiples care * Premature infants and NICU-to-home transitions * Breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, and lactation education support * Reflux, gas, and feeding challenges * Gentle newborn sleep shaping and healthy sleep foundations * Age-appropriate infant sleep training and independent sleep guidance * Parent education and individualized newborn routines My approach to sleep begins with gentle, responsive routines during the early newborn weeks. As babies grow and become developmentally ready, I help families gradually establish healthy sleep habits and work toward more independent sleep. I believe every baby is unique, and every family deserves care that respects their parenting preferences, values, and individual needs. I am CPR/First Aid certified, professionally insured, bilingual in English and Spanish, and a registered Carrot provider. For me, newborn care is much more than a profession. It’s a passion that has allowed me to build meaningful relationships with families and support them through some of the most beautiful and challenging moments of parenthood. My greatest reward is knowing that parents can rest peacefully while their little ones are receiving attentive, nurturing, and experienced care. I would be honored to be part of your family’s journey! ❤️

Nora is truly a gift for any family to have! Nora is extremely reliable, trustworthy, experienced and hard working. She adapts well to different households and parenting styles, communicates well and creates a plan to uniquely support your families needs. She’s very natural and knowledgeable with newborns while providing confidence and support to parents. She was our saving grace supporting us during a time of need with newborn challenges like reflux, tongue tie, traveling internationally and sleep training.

Having Nora help out with our newborn during those early months was the best decision that my husband and I made in postpartum support as first time parents. We felt so at ease knowing our baby was in loving hands. Our baby has reflux and some breathing issues, and Nora was able to adhere to the protocols of frequent burping, sitting upright, etc. We are so thankful for her help, advice, and love that she provided us and our baby!!!

We were fortunate enough to be referred to Nora when our newborn arrived 5 weeks early and our previous NCS was still finishing another contract. We were sooooo lucky that our needs aligned with Nora’s availability as we only needed 2-3 days per week and she so kindly squeezed us in with her other client (she was obviously already on another contract). Coming out of an extremely traumatic delivery, surgery, with a premie / NICU baby I was very concerned bringing our newborn home with my instructions for recovery as well as taking care of our 3 year old simultaneously. Being able to work with Nora gave me the opportunity to rest and recover a few nights a week knowing that my premature infant was in perfect hands. She gave me the ability to show up every day for both of my girls and be the best version of my mom self that I could be. I wasn’t exhausted, burnt out or overstimulated on the mornings after Nora watched our newborn. I felt refreshed and thankful that I could balance enjoyable motherhood while getting the essential recovery that I needed in those beginning weeks. Nora is calm, caring, knowledgeable and so very sweet. She respected our wishes for routines while also giving us very helpful (and appreciated) suggestions navigating uncharted territory with a premie. Our 3 year old was obsessed with her and always asked when Nora would be back; even though she only saw her for a short time before bed and when she woke up for school, Nora made that much of an impression. Again, we are so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Nora in those crucial weeks after arriving home from the hospital. She helped set a good foundation for our newborn’s sleep and 10 months later, I still attribute her consistent sleep schedule to the fact that we started with a professional like Nora from the beginning :)

Nora's response

Andrea, thank you so much for such a thoughtful and heartfelt review. It truly means so much to me. It was such a privilege to support you and your family during those first weeks at home, especially after everything you had been through. I’m so grateful that I could give you some peace of mind and the opportunity to rest and recover while knowing your little one was well cared for. I also have such sweet memories of your family, and especially your 3 year old asking when I was coming back! 🥰 Hearing that your little one is still sleeping so well 10 months later makes me so happy. Thank you again for trusting me during such an important and vulnerable time. It was truly an honor to be part of those early weeks with your family. ❤️
