Hi, I’m Jupiter — the heart behind The Daddy Doula. I’m a birth and postpartum doula supporting families who want care that is affirming, trauma informed, and deeply human. I specialize in working with LGBTQ+, trans, BIPOC, autistic, and neurodivergent families, and I believe everyone deserves to feel safe, respected, and fully supported through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum season. I’m also a parent myself, and becoming one reshaped everything I thought I knew about birth, partnership, and care. I know what it feels like to need steady support, clear information, and someone who can hold the room when things feel big. My work is rooted in consent, autonomy, and protecting the oxytocin bubble whether that looks like quiet presence, advocacy in medical spaces, or reminding you to breathe and come back into your body. I’m Portland Oregon based and offer sliding scale support because access to care matters. If you’re looking for a doula who shows up steady, affirming, and fully in your corner, you’re in the right place.

Hi families, my name is Anna Barckert. I'm a Postpartum Doula & Newborn Care Specialist with over 25 years of experience caring for newborns. Before working with postpartum families, I was a newborn nanny. I specialize in providing awake care overnights, meaning I stay awake all night during overnight shifts. While baby is sleeping I can help with laundry, bottle/pump parts washing and sterilizing, food prep and light household tasks. Whether I'm helping families get rest or guiding them through challenges that may arise along the way, working with postpartum families is a true passion of mine and I absolutely love what I do. Looking forward to speaking with you soon!

Hello lovely families! I’m a postpartum doula, lactation counselor, and newborn care specialist, as well as a mother who has personally navigated the joys and challenges of early parenthood—including my own experience with postpartum depression. That journey deepened my commitment to holding space for families during the tender postpartum period, offering not just practical support but also emotional presence and understanding. With over seven years of experience leading an infant classroom and working as a nanny, I bring a strong foundation in early childhood development and hands-on infant care to the families I serve. My work is grounded in community care and social justice, centering the needs of marginalized families who too often face gaps in postpartum support. I approach each family with a holistic lens, blending evidence-based newborn and lactation guidance with an unwavering commitment to equity and collective healing. Supporting parents isn’t just my profession—it’s a calling shaped by lived experience, continued learning, and a deep love for this vital, sacred transition

Hello! I’m Jordan, and I'm deeply passionate about nurturing families and caring for little ones. After spending more than a decade as a nanny, I discovered just how much I love showing up for families in whatever way they need, day by day. Being closely connected to many families and dear friends during their pregnancies, births, and postpartum journeys opened my eyes to just how transformative and intense the perinatal season can be. That experience sparked a desire in me to learn everything I could about supporting people during this sacred time, and it quickly became clear that becoming a doula was my calling. I went on to train as a fertility, birth, and postpartum doula, and found myself especially drawn to supporting families during the postpartum period. It's a time that often feels overlooked, despite being so crucial. I completed my postpartum doula certification and began my work, focusing on offering real, tangible support when families need it most. As a postpartum doula, I’m here to walk alongside new parents as they find their footing and build confidence in their own instincts. My approach is rooted in being a calm, grounding, and consistent presence during what can be an overwhelming transition. I tailor my support to meet each family's individual needs because no two postpartum journeys look the same. It’s incredibly important to me that the families I support feel safe, heard, and cared for, every step of the way. One of the biggest challenges I noticed early on was sleep, or more accurately, the serious lack of it. Wanting to better guide families through that hurdle, I became certified as an Infant and Family Sleep Specialist. Supporting families with sleep, including overnight care, has since become a core part of my work and something I care deeply about. As a queer person, I’m especially passionate about affirming and supporting families of all kinds. It’s a true honor to be welcomed into such a personal and powerful chapter in someone’s life, and I’m endlessly grateful for the opportunity to do this work. Please note: I have a the majority of my testimonials on google under Bun and Bundle

Every family deserves emotional and practical support during the transformational postpartum time of life. The families I work with receive kind, non-judgemental, evidence-based care, regardless of race, ethnicity, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, or disabilities. I will encourage the wisdom and intuition that already exists in you as a parent. I live in a small intentional community in NE Portland with my partner, two children, and five other wonderful humans.

Now Booking for 2027! I believe everyone deserves a village. I also know that asking for help, especially during the transition to parenthood, is one of the bravest and most vulnerable things a person can do. My role as a postpartum doula is to come alongside families during this tender season, helping them identify their unique needs and supporting them as they grow into their new roles. One of the greatest gifts I can offer is helping families feel more rested, confident, and resourced. I approach each family with care and curiosity, always honoring their culture, beliefs, values, hopes, and goals. By centering your family’s identity, I can help support a home that truly reflects who you are. I have experience working with a wide range of families and circumstances, including addiction recovery, infants with special needs, and sleep support. No two families are the same, and I believe deeply that what works beautifully for one family may not work at all for another. As a postpartum doula, my primary goal is to meet families exactly where they are. By getting to know you and your needs, I can offer thoughtful, individualized support that helps establish a balanced and nurturing home. I try to be a non-judgmental, compassionate presence and someone who accepts you as you are and supports you as you become the parents you hope to be. I aim to be your biggest cheerleader, offering reassurance, practical help, and guidance along the way. At this time, I provide overnight postpartum care exclusively. ⸻ About Me As a mother to a vivacious pre-teen, I’ve experienced both the profound joys and the very real challenges of motherhood. While my kiddo and I are happy and healthy today, our early years were marked by unexpected hospital stays, long periods of solo parenting, and eventually the work of building a successful co-parenting relationship. These experiences shaped me deeply and ignited my passion for supporting families navigating recovery, mental health challenges, past trauma, limited support systems, and complex family dynamics. When I gave birth in 2013, I had no idea postpartum doula support even existed. I believed new parents were simply supposed to figure it out on their own, and if they struggled, it meant they were failing. I now know how UNTRUE and harmful that belief can be. My mission is to ensure families know that support is available, and that they were never meant to do this alone. Before becoming a postpartum doula, I spent more than 20 years working as a nanny and childcare provider and earned an associate degree in pre-education. Four years ago, a friend introduced me to postpartum doula work, a role I had never heard of, but instantly knew was meant for me. Within weeks, I began my training, and I’ve never looked back. I wake up every day feeling grateful to do work that is meaningful, supportive, and deeply aligned with who I am. As a lifelong night owl who spent years trying to fit into a morning-person world, I’ve finally found my calling providing overnight postpartum care during my natural “prime time” hours. Born and raised in Portland, Oregon, I’ve been happily married to my best friend and biggest cheerleader for over three years. Together, we’ve blended our family with my kiddo and his son. Now that our children are older, we share a passion for travel, curiosity, and fully experiencing the world around us. After years of letting life pass by, I now make a conscious effort to savor experiences (big and small) as they come. My friends and family often joke about my boundless energy and zest for life, and together with my husband and kids, we are always embracing what comes next.

Being a birth and postpartum doula is my passion and I find much happiness in this type of work! I have 20+years experience working as a nanny and early childhood education teacher. My education includes Postpartum and Birth Doula training in 2024 and a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education in 2003. I’m also a mother to a wonderful and brilliant twelve year old girl Amelia. I am very active and love the outdoors, hot yoga, healthy cooking/baking and being around animals. I prefer to work in the SW Portland/Tigard/Beaverton/ area but I’m able to travel to accommodate your needs.

I’m Sherilee Peters, the owner and founder of Baby Nest Birth Services. For over 18 years, I have been supporting parents in having empowering birth and postpartum experiences. Growing up on a recreational farm in Canada, I watched animals give birth from a young age, which gave me my first realization of how natural the birth process could be. I am a mother of two, a Birth & Postpartum Doula, a Bradley Method Birth instructor, and a certified placenta specialist serving the Vancouver, WA, and Portland, OR areas.

I am passionate about supporting new and growing families through the transition into parenthood. I have experience caring for infants and newborns, including providing overnight support and helping families feel more confident and comfortable during those early days and nights. I understand that welcoming a new baby is a major life transition, and I strive to support not only the baby but the mother and the entire family. My goal is to provide compassionate, dependable, and hands-on support while respecting each family’s individual needs, routines, and parenting choices. Whether it’s caring for the baby overnight, helping with newborn needs, providing reassurance to new parents, or simply being a calm and supportive presence, I am committed to helping families feel cared for, supported, and less overwhelmed during this important chapter.

I have always had a passion to support women and babies every since I was younger. I have been in the medical field for 7 years now since I graduated high school and am a medical assistant. I have also been a newborn nanny to multiple families. I fell in love the women’s health/OBGYN/labor and delivery when I started as a medical assistant 4 years ago and was a medical assistant for 2 years at a women’s clinic and fell in love with the women’s clinic and got to shadow over 10 births by the midwives and OB’s at the clinic. I am currently applying for nursing school to become a labor and delivery nurse but wanted to be active in this field of work right now, so this is where I decided to become a birth doula. I feel that I am very equipped and experienced in this field and cannot wait to meet you and your family and help you bring your baby(s) into the world in a way you feel comfortable and proud of and I am here to support you along that journey!

Welcoming a newborn(s) or infant(s) into the family is an incredibly special time, but it can also be exhausting for parents. I’d love to support a new family by offering compassionate, dependable nighttime care. With over ten years of experience in pediatrics, I’ve cared for babies and children in hospital settings, but after having three of my own, I took a step back to focus on my family. I truly miss caring for babies and am excited to transition into a role as a night nanny. I understand the value of rest, and I’d be honored to help parents get the sleep they need. I'm attentive, nurturing, and experienced in caring for babies. Whether it’s offering guidance or simply providing a peaceful, restful night, I’m here to help!
