Josie Vidic, BSN, RN Background checked · Oct 2026 Popular: among the most-viewed night nannies in California, last 60 days

I’m a postpartum registered nurse with 3 years of hospital experience, offering overnight newborn care for babies 0–12 weeks old. I’ll care for your little one overnight in your home so you can get real sleep and wake up ready to take on the day. I’ve spent countless night shifts as a nursery nurse, often caring for several newborns at once. That included looking after babies while their mothers recovered from complications like preeclampsia or postpartum hemorrhage, and caring for infants receiving phototherapy for jaundice. I’m comfortable with bottle feeding (formula or pumped milk) or bringing baby to you to nurse, and I’m experienced with cluster feeding and triple feeding. Shifts take place between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m., with an 8-hour minimum. I serve Santa Barbara, Montecito, and Goleta. I hold an active RN license and am BLS and NRP certified. You don’t have to do it all by yourself. I’m here to help!

Josie is a fantastic night nurse who also provided support during some earlier nights so that we could go on date nights. She helped us out when our baby was 6weeks until he was 3.5 months. With her support our son started sleeping through the night (about 7 hours) by 8/9 weeks old, and he now (at 5 months) sleeps 12-13 hours. We never had to sleep train him, just followed the cues we learned given feedback from Josie on nights she watched him. She was always very sweet with our son and responsive to our every changing night schedules making us feel quickly comfortable with her staying with him overnight. We were sad for ourselves when she moved, but happy for her new adventure.

Hello there! My name is Sharon Jensen-Cody, and I'm thrilled to connect with you here. In my world, I share my life with my wonderful husband and our 2 kids who fill our days with joy and surprises. My journey into the world of birth-work stems from a deep-rooted passion for pregnancy and childbirth that took hold of me at a young age. The pivotal moment came when I witnessed my sister giving birth when I was just 17. The duality of the experience, both challenging and profoundly beautiful, left an indelible mark on me. My mission as a DONA trained Birth Doula is rooted in empowering women to shape their birth experiences according to their desires. I am dedicated to championing maternal-fetal health and providing unwavering support to women as they embark on one of life's most incredible journeys. I am here to walk alongside you, offering mental, emotional, and physical guidance to make your birth journey a truly empowering and memorable one. I am also a certified pediatric sleep consultant, passionate about teaching families how to gain restorative sleep with their little ones. I look forward to the privilege of being a part of your birth story and helping you navigate this extraordinary time in your life.

Working with Sharon was one of the most reassuring parts of our entire birth experience. From the very beginning, her communication style put us at ease. She paid close attention to the details of our birth plan and made sure our preferences were understood and respected throughout the process. One thing we especially appreciated was her flexibility around when to join us at the hospital. She checked in often, helped us navigate the early stages from afar, and arrived right when we entered active labor. From that moment on, her presence made a noticeable difference. She helped lower our stress, and we trusted her implicitly in how she advocated for us with the nursing staff. Her strong rapport with the team at Woodland Hills Kaiser Permanente made everything feel that much smoother. Sharon’s depth of experience came through in every interaction. She was calm when we needed calm, confident when we needed guidance, and always focused on making sure we felt supported. We’re incredibly grateful for her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any family looking for a doula who is both highly skilled and genuinely compassionate. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend.

I used Wendy's services exclusively for my postpartum recovery. To begin, I want to share that I am a very private person. This is my second child (my first is three years old), and it has always been my husband and I caring for our children. I have never hired a babysitter because I am not comfortable inviting others into my home, and I tend to be very guarded. However, caring for two children on my own made my recovery slow and difficult, so I decided to try one session with Wendy to see if this type of support would be a good fit for me. Long story short, Wendy changed my life! She fully understood and respected my need for privacy and always made sure I felt comfortable. She was consistently punctual, professional, and attentive. She took the time to understand my home, my children, and my parenting style so she could proactively support me in genuinely helpful ways without ever overstepping my comfort zone. Most importantly, she helped create the space I needed to rest, heal, and recharge. She struck the perfect balance between giving me the privacy and quiet time I needed while also checking in and offering support whenever necessary. Most importantly, both my baby and my three-year-old absolutely ADORED Wendy. She was wonderful with children and made me feel completely comfortable entrusting them to her care. In fact, after her final session, my oldest was so sad to see her go that he begged her to come back and visit him. Wendy has a heart of gold. She is incredibly knowledgeable, a great listener, and a genuinely thoughtful and compassionate person. It was clear to me that this is more than just a job for her—it is her passion. I am beyond grateful that not only I, but also my children, had the opportunity to know Wendy. I highly recommend her as a postpartum doula during one of the most vulnerable and transformative periods in a woman's life. She was exactly the right person for my family, and I am confident she will be for yours as well.

Like most men, I probably had no idea what a doula did. After meeting with Pamela, I learned quite a bit and felt comfortable in having her be a part of our birth experience. I was able to be there for my wife emotionally and Pamela took care of everything else. She supported my wife in a way that I couldn't have. I have no idea how we could have done it without her. She was the true MVP that day. I can't thank her enough. Her experience as a nurse was super helpful. We will hire her again for our next pregnancy!

I have completed DONA training as a birth and postpartum doula. I also am a certified breastfeeding specialist and have completed the lactation consultant program at UCSD. As I have progressed through my career, I have realized that I felt called to provide a more holistic approach to care. I strongly believe that new parents and their children do not receive enough support. The saying "it takes a village" exists for a reason. I know that most of us don't have a village, but I would be happy to be a part of yours.  Please visit my website to learn more about my services or send me an e-mail to set up a call.

Kayla was an absolute lifesaver during those early weeks postpartum. From the moment she came into our home, she went above and beyond to care for not only my newborn, but for me, my toddlers, and our entire household. She regularly checked in on me emotionally and made sure I was truly taking care of myself—reminding me to drink water, eat nourishing snacks, rest when I could, and giving me the support and reassurance I needed during such a vulnerable and overwhelming season. Her lactation support was also incredibly helpful and gave me confidence and guidance when I needed it most. What made Kayla so exceptional was that she understood that postpartum care is about the whole family. She helped with my newborn, entertained and cared for my toddlers, helped keep the house running smoothly, and even made sure our fridge was stocked with nourishing meals so I could focus on healing, bonding with my baby, and getting through those long days. She brought such a calming, comforting presence into our home. She anticipated needs before I even had to ask, offered encouragement without judgment, and made me feel genuinely cared for. Having someone there who could say, “Have you eaten? Have you had water? How are you feeling?” while also helping with the kids and household was invaluable. Kayla is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, dependable, and intuitive. She didn’t just support my baby—she supported me as a mother. And that made all the difference. I truly cannot recommend Kayla enough to any new or growing family. If you are considering postpartum doula or lactation support, hire her. You will be so grateful you did. 🤍

Hello Families, I’m Ellie, a Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant, Certified Newborn Sleep Specialist, and founder of The Dream Concierge. I provide gentle, personalized daytime newborn care, sleep shaping, and parent education designed to help families feel supported, confident, and at ease during the early weeks and months of their baby’s life. My approach combines hands-on care with evidence-based practices to help establish healthy sleep foundations and developmentally appropriate routines from the very beginning. Welcoming a new baby or adding another child to your family is a beautiful transition, but it can also bring questions, uncertainty, and exhaustion. My role is to provide calm, consistent support throughout the day while helping parents better understand their baby’s cues, feeding patterns, sleep needs, and daily rhythms. Through education, guidance, and attentive hands-on care, I help families navigate this season with greater confidence and peace of mind. My support includes daytime newborn care, feeding support, soothing, diapering, and establishing age-appropriate routines that encourage healthy sleep habits in a gentle, responsive way. I also guide families through common newborn milestones such as regaining birth weight, establishing full feedings, understanding wake windows, and creating predictable daily rhythms that support both baby and parents. In addition to caring for your newborn, I strive to make the transition into parenthood feel more manageable by providing an extra set of experienced, nurturing hands throughout the day. Whether parents need time to rest, attend to personal responsibilities, spend time with older children, or simply feel reassured that their baby is receiving attentive care, my goal is to create a supportive and peaceful environment for the entire family. Every family is unique, which is why I tailor my approach to each family’s goals, comfort level, and parenting style. One of the most rewarding parts of my work is building trusting relationships with families and helping them feel more informed, capable, and supported as they adjust to life with their newest addition. As babies grow, I continue to provide gentle sleep shaping and personalized sleep support, helping families build healthy, sustainable sleep habits while remaining responsive to their child’s individual needs. My goal is to help parents feel empowered, supported, and confident as they navigate each stage of their baby’s development.

Ellie started caring for our baby when she was just 3 weeks old, and I truly can’t say enough good things about her. As a mom of four, I’ve seen a lot when it comes to childcare, and it was immediately clear that Ellie brought a level of experience, calm, and confidence that’s hard to find. *She needed absolutely no guidance*- it was actually the opposite. She reminded me of things I had forgotten from my previous babies and handled everything with ease and intuition. It felt like she just *knew* what needed to be done. Ellie became part of our routine senamlessly, whether we were at home or even staying in a hotel. She adapted to every setup, and we always felt completely confident that our baby was safe, cared for, and getting meaningful one-on-one time — even when we were busy and pulled in other directions. Looking back, I honestly wish we had brought her in from day one. She was such a steady, loving presence, and any family would be lucky to have her.

Lauren LaBarre

Hi, I’m Lauren — a birth worker devoted to walking alongside families through one of the most powerful transitions of their lives. My path into birth work was shaped by my own deeply transformative pregnancy, labor, and postpartum experience. I prepared thoroughly, trusted my body, and still encountered moments that were unexpected, intense, and humbling. That lived experience changed me — and it’s what informs how I show up for the families I serve today. I bring together evidence-based education, trauma-informed support, and embodied presence to help birthing people feel grounded, informed, and supported — whether they’re planning a medicated hospital birth, an unmedicated birth, or something in between. You don’t need to fit a “type” to work with me. My role isn’t to push an agenda, but to help you feel confident, prepared, and supported in your choices. Over the last year, my practice has deepened through advanced doula training, mentorship, and apprenticeship — including immersive work with Haize Hawke and master-level education focused on physiology, nervous system regulation, advocacy, and the emotional landscape of birth. I’m also the founder of Mycelial Womb, a collective rooted in the understanding that transformation happens best when it’s supported, witnessed, and integrated — much like mycelial networks beneath the forest floor. What tends to stand out to clients is that I’m steady under pressure, deeply attuned, and fully present. I support both the practical and the emotional — helping partners feel confident, navigating medical systems with clarity, and creating space for processing what arises before, during, and after birth. I’m equally comfortable explaining hospital procedures, advocating when needed, holding silence, or helping you find your footing when things feel intense or uncertain. Whether you’re someone who has always felt drawn to birth work — or someone who didn’t know they wanted this level of support until now — my intention is the same: to walk with you, not ahead of you, not over you, but with you, through this threshold. It would be an honor to support you through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum — with care that is grounded, responsive, and deeply human.

Lauren was an absolute lifesaver throughout my wife and I's birthing experience. It was our first time and we really wanted to dive head first into educating ourselves about everything that had to do with giving birth and having a child. Lauren was so helpful with the entire process. She was so informed and educated about anything we brought up or asked questions about, she always had an answer or direction for us. She was so supportive throughout the entire process always being caring with every decision we had come to. She made our labor and delivery such a beautiful experience as well, she showed up at our residence at 2am ready for anything that may have came our way and helped my wife tremendously get to the hospital and ready to birth our baby! Lauren was such a strong powerhouse to have in our presence during it all and we would not have changed a thing, we are so thankful and grateful that we had Lauren by our side every step of the way and we will definitely be contacting Lauren when we have our 2nd!

I am recognized for my confidence, professionalism, and rapid learning ability. My strong multitasking skills and positive mindset enable me to create a healthy and supportive environment for families during their transition. Given my extensive experience and dedication, I am confident that I would be a valuable addition to your establishment. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my skills and experience align with your needs.

Brigette was a lifesaver. She is truly a baby whisperer and can calm any baby. My baby was very fussy with horrible colic and many night nannys quit but she was patient and sweet and could get my baby to be calm and sleep. She is very responsible, trustworthy, patient and kind. She is also intelligent and a quick learner. Brigette has a calm, quiet way about her. If she is available, definitely book her!
