⸻ Jennifer Azurdia Newborn Care Specialist Supporting Families in Tampa, Florida With over 30 years of experience in childcare, I have had the privilege of supporting families as a babysitter, nanny, and overnight newborn care provider. Over time, newborn care became my true passion. I have extensive experience caring for singletons and high-order multiples, and I deeply understand that every birth experience and every fourth trimester is unique. My passion for supporting families began while working as a nanny, where I witnessed firsthand the transition families go through when welcoming a new baby—especially when growing from one child to two or more. I am a dedicated and compassionate Newborn Care Specialist who finds great joy in providing both physical and emotional support during this special season of life. My goal is to help families feel confident, empowered, and well-rested as they begin their journey together. I truly believe there are many beautiful ways to birth and raise a child. My motto is simple: Give lots of love when a new baby comes home. I strongly believe in educating and supporting parents during the postpartum period. Providing guidance and reassurance helps families care for both their baby and themselves with confidence. I strive to join each home seamlessly, bringing positive energy, a calm presence, and an open mind. Whether you are looking for guidance and hands-on support or simply a peaceful, restful night, I am here to follow your lead and provide exceptional care for your baby.

Hello, I am Brittany. I am a mother of 4 children, ranging in ages from 9 to 15 years old. I’ve had the honor of supporting families as they transition into life with a new baby/babies. My own journey through motherhood is what first called me. It opened my eyes to how much support, care, and reassurance moms truly need in those early days. While newborns are incredibly special, I believe that when a mother feels supported, confident, and nurtured, the entire family thrives. Being able to care for babies is a bonus, but my heart is in making sure moms feel seen, heard, and held during one of the most transformative times in their lives.

Hi, I’m Merinda! I’m married to my husband of 12 years, and together we’re raising three beautiful kids. I’m an Ohio native, but Florida has been home since 2017, and Sarasota is a place we’ve grown to love deeply. Our home is currently shared with our sheepadoodle, kitten, and four hens who keep life interesting! It’s a little busy, a little chaotic, and exactly the kind of full life I love. My husband and I also have the incredible privilege of serving as pastors of a local church body in Sarasota. We’ve been in full-time ministry for the past nine years, and it is both our passion and our honor to pursue the heart of God and walk alongside others as they seek Jesus. That calling has shaped so much of who I am and how I care for people—especially in the moments when life feels tender, uncertain, or overwhelming. I’m also a life coach, which means I spend a lot of time helping people work through those “stuck” places in their lives. I ask a lot of questions, listen closely, and help people uncover the answers that are often already within them. I love helping people move from feeling overwhelmed or uncertain to feeling clear, confident, and capable. That same heart is what drew me so deeply into birth work. My own experiences with pregnancy and birth have given me a unique perspective. I’ve experienced epidurals, elective inductions without an epidural, IVF, and I also had the incredible privilege of being a gestational carrier for my sister-in-law! Experiencing birth in such different ways has given me a deep compassion for the fact that there is no single “right” way for a birth story to unfold. Every mother, every baby, and every family brings a different story into the room. My approach to doula care is balanced, steady, compassionate, and calm. I’m a huge proponent of informed decision-making, and I believe you deserve to understand your options and feel confident in the choices you make for yourself and your baby. Whether your birth unfolds exactly as you imagined or takes an unexpected turn, I want you to feel supported, respected, and cared for every step of the way. I’m especially passionate about helping both mothers and fathers understand the incredible design of a woman’s body and the power it holds with physiological birth. I want families to walk into birth with knowledge instead of fear, confidence instead of uncertainty, and a deep trust in the process while remaining open to whatever their individual journey may bring. And honestly, one of the biggest reasons I care so deeply about supporting mothers is because other women have done the same for me. There have been women who stepped into my life and held me through some of my most vulnerable moments. I know firsthand the difference that kind of support can make. The power of being seen, encouraged, listened to, and simply not having to carry something alone has driven me to do the same for other women. So if you’re here wondering whether you’re “the kind of mom” who needs a doula, wondering if your questions are too many, or wondering if something is TMI—I want you to know you’re in the right place. There is no TMI here. There are never too many questions. You don’t have to have it all figured out on your own! I’m here for you—to listen, to educate, to encourage, and to support you in the same way other women have carried me. Whatever your birth journey looks like, we’re in it together.

Hi! I’m Raymah, a certified birth and postpartum doula supporting families since 2017. I’ve had the privilege of supporting more than 100 families through birth and postpartum, with thousands of hours of hands on experience caring for newborns and helping parents navigate those first weeks at home. I believe doula support should leave you feeling more confident, not more dependent. During pregnancy and birth, I help families understand their options, prepare for what to expect, and feel informed and supported throughout labor and delivery. After baby arrives, I help bridge the gap between bringing a newborn home and actually feeling comfortable caring for one. We can work through feeding, diapering, bathing, soothing, newborn cues, sleep rhythms and routines, postpartum recovery, and all of the little questions that come up once you’re home with your baby. Postpartum support can include daytime care, overnight support for rest and recovery, newborn and parent education, or a combination tailored to your family’s needs. My approach is warm, practical, judgment free, and grounded in experience. There is no one right way to birth or parent. My job is to meet your family where you are, give you reliable support and education, and help you find the rhythm that works for your home.

Hello! I’m Giselle Beuscher, a Postpartum Doula located in St Petersburg, Florida. I knew from a young age that I loved babies and found I had a knack for understanding and caring for them. After studying classical music in college, I decided that it made sense for me to pivot and focus on a career in childcare. Over the course of my career as a professional nanny and newborn care specialist, I’ve learned that I also love taking care of parents. In a similar way to watching an infant’s personality grow as they develop, it’s rewarding to see new parents develop their parenting style and grow more confident in their own ability to care for their children. I trained as a postpartum doula because I saw how support in the fourth trimester made a difference in the family’s long-term well-being, and wanted to do what I could to help.

I’ve also logged over 20,000 hours of hands on postpartum experience, working closely with infants under one year old. I specialize in newborn care, postpartum recovery support, breastfeeding guidance, and helping families establish healthy sleep routines. My goal is to create a calm, nurturing environment where parents can rest easy, knowing their baby is in safe, experienced hands.
