My husband and I hired Jill after going back and forth on whether we even wanted/needed a doula and are so happy we did! From the moment we got pregnant, we knew that we were hospital birth people. Though friends and family had suggested a doula, those friends and family were the home birth / bathtub birth, free spirited, yogi types and nothing at all like us in terms of lifestyle or beliefs. We thought do we really need to spend the extra money? Would a doula would be too hippy-dippy for us? We interviewed four or five different doulas in the area and decided we’d give it a go and that Jill best fit our vibe. She was all about empowering us and not the least bit judgmental of our desire to have an OB, birth in a hospital, and leave the epidural on the table as a possibility. All in all, with Jill’s help we ended up having the unmedicated vaginal birth I desperately wanted but was too afraid to outright commit to from the outset. And if there’s anything I can say to those on the fence about a doula because of the cost, it makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE on delivery day. For us, that doula was Jill. She provided the physical and mental support my partner and I would have otherwise never even known we were missing (massage, position changes, words of encouragement, you name it!), and was 100% the reason we were able to have the unforgettable experience we did! We wish everyone could have a Jill with them on delivery day!!

I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of families, including those with newborns, twins, and infants with special needs, and I maintain lasting relationships with many of them. 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!

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 cannot recommend Anat enough! She deserves 10 stars. I truly believe this is the best money I have ever spent . As a first time mom I knew I wanted a doula to help me with my delivery experience. I interviewed 8 doulas and Anat stood out from the crowd. She is so warm and knowledgeable. She has so much experience. I felt safe with her and I also felt immediately drawn to her warmth. Hiring her to be our doula was the best decision we ever made . She was there for me for every step of my pregnancy. When I went into labor she came to my house and made me a bath. She helped me labor in the bath and af home for 4 hours while easing my pain through physical and mental touch. At the hospital she literally turned the room into a spa . She had (fake) candles , calming music and massage tools . She help me manage through the pain by touching and massaging me . She also helped my husband by being more hands on during labor so he could rest and have energy when the baby arrived . I had an amazing experience birthing my daughter - and I owe that all to Anat. I recommend her to all my friends .

Dear Prospective Parents, I would like to first offer my congratulations to you on the birth of your new child. As a mother of 4 myself I know first hand all of the emotions that you are feeling right now. I vividly remember the sweet baby breath and the soft sounds they make as they fall asleep. I remember the pride you are feeling as you are looking down at something that was created out of the love you and your partner share. I also remember how daunting a newborn can be. I remember that all of the books, classes and advice in the world can’t accurately prepare you for the real life thing. I remember the good emotions, the bad ones, the sad ones. I remember the sleepless nights and the confusion over deciphering whether or not that is a cry for hunger or gas. My job as a night nanny practically speaking is to offer you a peaceful night's rest. But I am also here to be your advocate, support person, cheerleader, coach and anything else that will make your experience as new parents a great one. Having the support of a newborn care specialist and postpartum support care means having someone there for you that will believe in you, even when you are not sure if you believe in yourself. My goal is to empower you as the new parents.

Alex was our night nurse caring for our newborn approximately three or four times a week for about eight weeks. She was professional, experienced, knowledgeable, caring and trustworthy. Alex sincerely bonded with our baby and I knew she was in good hands when she was with Alex. I would recommend Alex to a friend and would hire her again.

Sarah Epstein

Packages from $250

Sarah began her journey into postpartum doula practice in 2015 through Birth Arts International and has since continued her education, becoming certified in Infant/Adult CPR and as a baby-wearing technician. She regularly attends workshops to ensure that she provides her clients with the most current and comprehensive support available. Growing up with a brother who has a non-verbal disability, Sarah learned from an early age to intuitively read and respond to unspoken needs. Witnessing her mother's nurturing care and trusting her own instincts have shaped Sarah's approach to providing compassionate, intuitive support to families, especially those who may struggle to express their needs. Her passion for newborn care, sparked by her personal experience as a mother of two, drives her work. Sarah offers services ranging from breastfeeding support to establishing sleep routines, helping parents feel confident and empowered in their journey with a new baby. The "village" of support she had after her children's births inspired her to offer others the same level of care and guidance. Outside of her work, Sarah enjoys spending time with her family & friends, playing with the family dogs, being outdoors, cooking, and traveling.

My experience with Sarah was VERY positive. Upon meeting for the first time, we instantly connected and eventually bonded to the point where Sarah felt like extended family. I hired her to care for my infant baby girl for a few hours a day while my husband transitioned back to work after paternity leave and I was solo with 2 kids under 2. I needed someone for about a month to help make the transition smooth, but also look after my infant while I ran miscellaneous errands and/or tended to my 2 years old. Sarah proved herself to be an expert early on. I watched her handle my 2 month old baby girl with ease and care, so I began to let my guard down and trust her abilities. She covers all the basics (tummy time, putting baby down for nap, etc.) but does them in a way that is so attentive and full of glee that it was inspiring to watch. In addition to caring for the baby, she cooked for us, brought fresh fruit almost every visit and offered advice on different issues I was facing as a new mom of 2. Her advice was never pushy, which was great for my communication style. Lastly, she was really flexible! If I needed to switch hours or cancel, she easily accommodated with a little notice. Eventually, I ended our time together bc I needed to learn how do it on my own. I felt Sarah was doing such a good job, that I was starting to rely on her too heavily and needed to do the work myself. I would certainly recommend Sarah for families with a variety of needs - she can do it all, just ask! :)
