I’m Zhané (Z) a nanny, part future pediatric neurologist, and full-time child enthusiast! I’m currently in school working toward my career in pediatric neurology, but for the past five years, my heart (and hands) have been fully in the world of childcare. I’ve worked with kiddos from brand-new newborns to big, independent teens, and I absolutely love meeting them at every stage. I’m VPK certified, a trained night doula with Let Mommy Sleep, and especially passionate about caring for autistic and neurodivergent children, helping them feel understood and empowered. I’m definitely not new to this work. I come with plenty of experience, a calm and playful energy, and a “how can I help?” mindset. I’m totally comfortable with pets, happy to handle a few light household tasks, and always up for a dance party, story time, or science experiment. If you’re looking for someone kind, capable, and genuinely invested in your child’s growth and joy, I’d love the opportunity to be a part of your village

Hello Parents! My name is Maria and my nickname is Joy. Over the past 15years I have served as dedicated newborn care specialist for families in United States (21 years as Nanny). Throughout my journey, I have gained extensive experience in various specialized areas. I am well-versed in sleep conditioning, providing exceptional care for premature infants, assisting breast feeding, bottle and tube feeding. I instill the love for learning as soon baby starts tummy time. Furthermore, having cared for 15 sets of twins, I have mastered the unique challenges and rewards that comes with multiple births. In my approach to childcare I firmly believe that children learn to care by experiencing excellent care and they come to know the blessings of gentleness and kindness through the way in which they are treated starting at newborn stage. I have NCS/Post Partum Doula certification. I honed my skills by hands-on experiences and taking classes to keep current on childcare approach and safety. Thank you

My name is Joanna, founder of Sisterhood Healing Birth Services. I am a mother of two, and it was through my own journey into motherhood that I was led to become a doula and childbirth educator.

Happy Pregnancy, Birth, and Postpartum Journey! My name is Bryanne Eyma and I'm a full spectrum community advocate with a focus in birth and postpartum care and wellness. I approach this work from a traditional African-centered perspective and value system that centers support rooted in evidence-based information and wholistic wellness practices. How can you and your family be and feel supported throughout this journey & smoothly transition into parenthood? How would you like to honor your transformation? How would you like to welcome in new life? I receive my education by sitting at the feet of, and training with, midwives across may different pathways of midwifery (such as CPM, TM, CNM, and LM). These wisdom holders carry over 10+ years of experience, and I have had the honor to travel globally from Ghana, West Africa, the Caribbean's, South Florida, and Georgia, USA, to immerse myself in learning the most optimal prenatal and postpartum care, as well as serving families, from them. The commonality within pregnancy and postpartum care however has been the centering of the mother's mental, emotional, and physical heath, the well-being of baby, and the communal nature of birth and postpartum itself. When choosing me as part of your care team, you are also choosing a team of three: two trained birth and postpartum care providers (myself included) and a certified Chef- because it takes a village. We will always conduct an initial meet in-person, if local, or virtually, if remote to see if we are the best team for you, or offer referrals if needed. The intention is, "how can we best give you what you need"? With deep gratitude and joy, thank you to the families I have worked with, will work with, and/or will be connected to. May all families have a team of space holders who affirm, advocate for, and trust the natural intelligence of pregnancy, the body, and the mother-baby symbiosis. May all mothers step in motherhood feeling respected, nurtured, and empowered!

My name is Samantha Dorleus, and I’m from Miami, Florida. I’m the youngest of my older siblings, and growing up, I’ve always taken on the role of caretaker for my younger cousins. As my older sister and brother had children, it became second nature for me to help care for my nephews. When I found out I was pregnant, I knew I was ready for the journey ahead. Becoming a mother has been the most amazing experience of my life! Watching my daughter grow from a tiny baby in my belly to the beautiful little sunflower she is today has been truly incredible. Now that she’s 5 years old, I know I still have so much to learn as she continues to grow, but I’m beyond grateful to have her in my life. With my extensive experience caring for children since a young age, I’ve worked in after-school programs, summer camps, and preschools since 2015. Caring for children is something I’ve always loved and admired. I am now certified as a Doula and look forward to providing services to elevate and advocate for mothers, especially by offering postpartum/prenatal care. It’s my mission to support women as they navigate this beautiful but sometimes overwhelming journey of motherhood. I’m currently a full-time mom and, in my spare time, I enjoy cooking, crafting, working out, and finding new ways to support my daughter’s growth and development. I also love exploring new foods, with Caribbean cuisine being one of my favorites! I’m excited to offer my services and look forward to being of help to you all.
