About me

Hello, my name is Rickeya, and I am a dedicated maternal and newborn care professional with a passion for supporting families during one of the most meaningful transitions of their lives. My goal is to provide exceptional clinical care, emotional support, and guidance as parents navigate the beautiful and sometimes overwhelming journey of parenthood. I am a Labor and Delivery Surgical Technologist with over two years of hands-on experience in labor and delivery, where I have served as a patient advocate and assisted in both vaginal deliveries and cesarean sections. My background also includes six years as a Certified Nursing Assistant, working across multiple hospital specialties, which has strengthened my clinical skills, adaptability, and compassionate approach to patient care. As a mother of two, I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to my work. I take great pride in supporting new parents, ensuring their babies are safe, comforted, and well cared for. My newborn care experience includes feeding support, sleep relief, overnight care, and night nanny services. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I am deeply committed to providing calm, reliable, and knowledgeable care that allows families to feel confident, supported, and at ease during this special time.

Service introduction

A night nanny and newborn care specialist provides professional overnight support to help families adjust smoothly during the newborn stage. Services typically include feeding support (breast, bottle, or combination), diapering, soothing, and establishing healthy sleep routines while ensuring the baby’s safety and comfort throughout the night. A newborn care specialist also monitors developmental milestones, supports postpartum recovery by allowing parents to rest, and offers education on infant care, sleep patterns, and feeding techniques. Their role is to create a calm, structured environment that promotes restful nights, builds parental confidence, and supports the overall well-being of both baby and family.

Absolutely — here’s a strong, heartfelt 5-star style review that sounds genuine and standout: --- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rickeya was truly a blessing to our family during the newborn stage. From the very first night, her calm presence, professionalism, and deep knowledge of newborn care immediately put us at ease. She not only cared for our baby with incredible attentiveness and gentleness, but she also supported us as new parents with reassurance, education, and emotional encouragement when we needed it most. Her background in labor and delivery really shows — she is confident, organized, and always prioritizes safety. Our baby’s feeding, sleep, and overall comfort improved so much under her care, and being able to rest at night knowing our little one was in such capable hands was priceless. She anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and created a peaceful nighttime routine that helped our whole household. Beyond her skills, Rickeya is simply a kind and compassionate person who truly loves what she does. Any family would be lucky to have her support during such an important time. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

Rickeya was sensational from the beginning when she sat me down and went over all my expectations and what exactly I wanted. After a consultation she came with my total price and a She contract that laid out exactly how things would go based on my needs. I started out with the post party package but I turn around and went for the night nanny package. I don’t think that I would have been able to get through my c-section recovery without her. to not have to be in pain while caring for my new born baby and being able to heal knowing my little was well taken care off was a peace of mind 10/10 experiences with her. She always helpful and supportive while being knowledgeable at the same time. 🥰
