Night Nannies & Night Nurses Near Me in Poughkeepsie, NY

As a Catholic doula and wellness coach, I help Catholic moms achieve holiness through a body, mind, and soul approach to pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I offer prayerful pregnancy planning and coaching through a uniquely faith-based lens, physically support and pray with mamas during labor as a birth doula, and continue to walk with them through postpartum doula services and ongoing wellness coaching rooted in God's design for your body. My Philosophy: - Pregnancy, labor, and postpartum are an experience of God and a call to holiness. - A mother's voice should ALWAYS be respected in her pregnancy, birth, and motherhood. - No mother should have to do all of this alone - physical and prayerful support changes everything. - Fitness and wellness for mothers is less about achieving standards and more about maintaining balance so we can better serve our families.

Hi everyone! My experience with birth started with my first birth: my son was born peacefully at home in the water. I fell in love with birth right away, and began taking doula classes. My approach to prenatal, labor, and postpartum care is mother and family centered. I’ve also trained in labor massage, Ayurvedic postpartum nutrition, childbirth education, and as a lactation educator and placenta specialist. My goal is to offer support, assurance, and information to my families at every step of their early parenthood journey. My philosophy and education align best with mamas who are pursuing natural birth and holistic support. I have experience with VBACs, HBACs, and free births.

I am an experienced caregiver with over 25 years of experience within traditional family and professional settings. I am currently looking to further my career in caregiving for families, elderly, handicapped persons, or newborns to adolescence. Within my extensive career I have mastered many tasks that families desire when searching for a caregiver. From tasks families are unable to do or simply do not have the patience for I have been able to excel. These tasks range from housekeeping, teaching, tending to medical needs, cooking, and providing overall support to families. My services have allowed families to relax, work, or focus on themselves while I take care of their loved ones. While many see caregiving as “job” I do not. To me caregiving is the act of caring for a family’s loved ones as if they were my own. Seeing a family succeed because of my efforts is my goal. I have no doubt in my mind that I will be a valuable asset to your family. It is with great pleasure that I am able to apply for a position with you. Thank you for your time and considerations. If more information is desired, please feel free to contact me. Kindest regards, Shameena Ibrahim

Jennifer’s passion for working as a postpartum doula is fueled by the incredible experience she had with her own doula when her son was six weeks old while living in New York City. She was struggling with breastfeeding, feeling anxious and alone, and her doula was able to melt it all away. She even made her a quiche! It is Jennifer's desire to give back the comfort and love she received from her doula to every one of her clients through her #compassioninaction method.

Hi! I’m Rushell, I provide personalized newborn care services tailored to each family’s needs and parenting preferences. As an experienced Newborn Care Specialist, I focus on delivering attentive, compassionate, and professional care while helping parents navigate the transition into life with a newborn. My approach combines hands-on newborn care, individualized feeding and sleep support, parent education, and a commitment to maintaining a safe, peaceful, and nurturing environment. I understand that every family is unique, and I strive to provide a reliable, supportive experience that allows parents to feel confident and well cared for during this important stage of life.

After birthing three children within a time span of five years, I couldn't help but recognize how overwhelming pregnancy, childbirth and parenting in general can be. I also had an unfavorable birthing experience with my first child. I was young, under-supported with financially limited options and felt "under-qualified" to be part of labor and delivery decision making. I simply left everything up to my obstetrician. I was told what to do and what not to do, what to take, where to go and even when to push. I was rarely asked for consent, but rather told what they were doing to me as they decided to do it. It all felt so clinical, as if I was in the hospital due to an illness rather than a healthy, natural event. I felt lonely, helpless and scared for three days straight. Needless to say, the experience left me wondering what could have been done differently and what choices each pregnant mother has to create a more empowered, positive birthing experience. ​ The moment I discovered doula work, it gave me a sense of relief learning that our society has a support system specially geared for the mother to be guided and assisted through this journey. I personally feel that our culture has brainwashed us to believe that childbirth is simply a painful burden to endure. (Cue television and movie clips where the laboring woman is screaming bloody murder and everyone is rushing around her as if there is a scary emergency to be remedied.) However, with the right knowledge and support, there can be such beauty and empowerment that comes with knowing all of your choices and feeling in control while fully trusting that your body has the capability and the strength to do exactly what it's meant to do - create new life and make miracles happen. ​ I am a certified labor doula (CLD) and certified postpartum doula (CPD) through CAPPA (Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association). I actively attend workshops, courses and continuing education classes on childbirth, hypnobirthing, fetal positioning, breastfeeding, postpartum, baby care basics and holding space for pregnancy loss in the Fairfield County, CT area. I am also Certified in Usui Reiki Levels I & II. ​ I am passionate about childbirth and I work incredibly hard to ensure that my clients have a positive and memorable birth experience however they may envision that to look like. My goal is for you to feel informed, respected and for your voice to be heard by your birthing team in your chosen birth environment.
