Hello! I am called Jamie, Cantonese and English speaker, a postpartum doula, former registered nurse, and nursing educator in Hong Kong. My approach connects deep clinical knowledge with a warm, non-judgmental attitude to bring true peace of mind to your home. Whether assisting with lactation, gently soothing your baby, or taking over household task so you can relief stress, my hands-on skills are focused entirely on your physical healing. I do not lecture; I listen, support your unique choices, and help you build the confidence to trust your own parenting instincts. Let me support your whole family during this beautiful transition so you can rest, recover, and truly thrive.

Hi, I’m Jess, founder of Millie & Marin Newborn & Infant Care, providing warm, attentive support to families throughout Burlington, Oakville, Milton, Waterdown, Ancaster and Hamilton. I specialize in overnight newborn and infant care, giving parents the opportunity to rest while knowing their baby is being lovingly and attentively cared for just steps away. During the night, I respond to your baby’s needs, support feeding and burping, change diapers, soothe and settle baby back to sleep, and carefully document feeds, diaper changes and sleep stretches so you know exactly how the night went. My care extends beyond baby, too. I believe supporting a newborn means supporting the whole family. While your household sleeps, I work quietly and wash and prepare bottles, tidy baby-related items and help reset your space for the morning. I tidy and stock supplies in the nursery. I also offer complimentary concierge support for small baby essentials such as diapers or wipes when needed. I offer this service because I know very well that sometimes you just need that last minute thing and I want to support you in any way I possibly can. I bring more than 20 years of professional caregiving experience, including a nursing background, along with extensive experience supporting children and families. My approach with newborns is responsive, gentle and individualized — I follow your baby rather than expecting your baby to fit into a rigid routine. I’m comfortable caring for singletons and twins and offer both ongoing packages and flexible hourly care. Most importantly, I understand what a privilege it is to be invited into a family’s home during such a vulnerable and exhausting season. My goal is for you to go to bed knowing your baby is in capable, caring hands — and wake feeling a little more rested and supported. Warmly, Jess 🤍 Millie & Marin Newborn & Infant Care

My name is Aly, and I’m the proud owner of Nurturing and Nesting, a birth and postpartum doula practice dedicated to supporting and empowering mothers through every stage of their journey. I created Nurturing and Nesting to provide thorough, personalized care that helps families thrive before, during, and after birth. My mission is to educate and empower parents with the knowledge and tools they need to care for themselves and their newborns, all while honouring the sacred experience of birth. I’ve always had a deep love for nurturing, whether it’s caring for babies, toddlers, or children, or fostering meaningful relationships with friends, family, and even pets. I truly believe that with the right mindset, atmosphere, and support, birth can be a transcendent experience, one that leaves a lasting, positive impact on both parents and their little one. It’s about creating a space where love, confidence, and calm can grow.

Hi, I’m Angelina, co-founder of Cradira and a Perinatal Support Worker/Postpartum Doula serving families across the Greater Toronto Area. I provide overnight postpartum support for expecting and new parents who need more rest, more reassurance, and fewer “are we supposed to know what we’re doing?” moments. My work includes newborn care, postpartum recovery support, feeding and sleep guidance, emotional reassurance, and practical help with the everyday reality of life after baby arrives. Because yes, the baby is a big part of postpartum. Obviously. But so are the dishes, the laundry, the night plan, the feeding setup, the relationship stress, the texts from people asking how they can help, and the fact that someone still needs to know where the clean sleepers are. Over the last 25 years, I’ve learned that families usually don’t need more pressure or perfect-parent advice. They need someone calm, experienced, and practical who can walk into the real-life version of their home and help things feel a little less chaotic. Many of the families I support are also carrying more than newborn care alone: anxiety, depression, PMADs, fertility stress, loss, neurodivergence, relationship strain, or the pressure of being the person who usually keeps everything running. I don’t diagnose or provide therapy, but I am very comfortable supporting families where these realities are part of the picture. That might mean taking over baby care so parents can sleep, supporting a feeding plan, talking through newborn sleep, helping with bottles or pump parts, giving parents a chance to rest, or helping make the household pieces a little easier to manage. Sometimes the biggest relief is not a complicated plan. It’s someone saying, “Okay. Here’s what we’re going to tackle next.” My approach is warm, inclusive, evidence-informed, and rooted in real life. I’m not here to tell families there is one right way to do this. I’m here to help them feel steadier, more supported, and less like they have to hold everything in their heads. Baby doesn’t need perfection. Your family needs steady support, realistic plans, and someone calm in the room when everything feels like a lot.
