About me

I am a dedicated Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula with over 10 years of experience in childcare, providing families with reliable night assistance and overall support. In the past two years, I have focused primarily on helping families welcome their newborns with confidence and care. I am highly knowledgeable in breastfeeding support and gentle sleep conditioning, and I take pride in offering compassionate, personalized care to meet each family’s unique needs. As a mom of two, I truly understand the importance of feeling secure enough to rest while your baby is being lovingly cared for, and the value of having a supportive village during those first precious months. My goal is to help parents feel confident, rested, and well-supported during this special time. I guide families in making the best decisions for their babies and for themselves, ensuring a smooth and positive transition into parenthood. With my help, parents can enjoy a full night’s sleep knowing their baby is in caring, experienced hands. Excellent references are available upon request.

Onara is amazing! She is knowledgeable, caring, and 100% reliable. She has been an amazing gift to our family and we feel so confident in her taking care of our child. We can't recommend her enough - she is born for this work and an absolute star!

We love Onara! She worked with our family multiple days a week to help care for our new born son between the ages of 3 - 5 months. She is incredibly knowledgeable, easy to be with, kind, caring and considerate. Most importantly, we fully trusted her. She helped us navigate the best schedules for our little guy and get him into healthy routines that were appropriate alongside developmental milestones. We plan to use her again for baby #2. Having someone we fully trusted that could provide important guidance to first time parents was invaluable!
