Night Nannies & Night Nurses Near Me in Sioux City, IA

I am slowly participating in a birth doula certification class through A Woman Who Serves; I will do births at very low cost (as of 7/12/26) until I feel like I’m more experienced. I’m a mom of five living daughters and I’ve had three pregnancy losses. All of my live births were different (see below), so I feel like I can support many different mamas and her decisions. I believe that all humans are created in the image and likeness of God and should be treated as such! I would love to share the day of your child(ren)’s birth(s) with you! No matter how it goes down, I will do my best to make it one of the best days of your life. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Here are my personal birth stories; I enjoy talking about births and babies. 😁 Daughter #1 (April 2009) Water spontaneously broke in middle of the night Contractions started naturally Epidural OB for a provider Pushed for 1.5 hours Vaginal, Hospital birth Daughter #2 (February 2016) Contractions started Labored mostly at home Midwife for a provider Midwife broke water Drug-free; no pitocin Vaginal, Hospital birth Daughter #3 (March 2017) Diagnosed IUGR at 32 weeks Scheduled early induction at 37w4d Midwife for provider Induction included Cytotec, membrane sweep, midwife breaking water All of labor was obviously in hospital Drug-free; no pitocin Vaginal; Hospital birth Daughter #4 (March 2019; this birth was a bit more exciting with a lot more detail, hahaha) Went to hospital for induction on 3/13/19; learned Baby turned footling breech sometime AFTER my 39 week ultrasound; discharged from hospital; confirmed breech with ultrasound later same day; spent that evening/night walking and working through some Spinning Babies things Woke up on 3/14/19 having irregular contractions; had an appt with chiropractor to attempt to flip baby; by 1p-130p contractions were getting stronger and more regular; back to hospital due to knowing Baby was breech; ultrasound confirmed Baby still in breech position; Meds to stop contractions; my midwife called OB to hospital to attempt to manually flip Baby; the version was a success; I was excited that a cesarean was no longer on my radar; I did NOT want a c-section. Around 525-530p, nurse “ran” into my room and told me to get on my side because Baby’s heart rate “plummeted”; I rolled over; midwife came in and checked heart monitor; midwife told me that she was gonna do a vaginal check (I don’t remember exactly why); midwife accidentally broke water when doing the check; I was excited because I knew Baby would probably be born soon; I remember telling everyone, “Let’s get this show on the road!” Haha. Within not very long (a minute or two?), a nurse had her hand/forearm up me where all the action was going to be taking place and another nurse was getting the OB on the phone and frantically saying, “STAT section”!! I was then told that the umbilical cord prolapsed and an emergency c-section needed to happen (drats!! Lol); l remember saying to everyone in my room, “Well by all means, do what you need to do.” I remember my midwife being right next to my head in the OR and she told me “Everything will be fine; we’ll take care of you and Baby.” 14ish minutes later, with me under general anesthesia, my 4th daughter was born at 5:56p. I was able to (finally) meet her in the NICU that same night. Daughter #5 (October 2020) VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean); 18.5 months after cesarean (midwife said I needed at least 18 months birth to birth to attempt a VBAC) Midwife for provider, but OB had to be present for the birth … due to VBAC? (I don’t remember why he had to be present.) Drug-free; no pitocin Most of labor was walking around outside, through Walmart, and then about an hour (or less) in a hotel room 😂😂😂😂😂 Got to hospital around 1:40 am Vaginal birth at 2:28 am

Hello everyone, my name is Yajaira (Jay) Vacanti and I'm a Certified Postpartum Doula and Infant Care Specialist located in Omaha, NE. From a young age, I was fascinated by pregnancy, newborns, and children—dreaming of becoming a baby nurse. This led me to pursue a nursing degree, but life took me down a different path in the corporate world, though still within healthcare. Becoming a doula has allowed me to bring my childhood dream to life, blending my passion for nurturing families with my healthcare background. As the oldest of three, I took on the role of caring for my siblings, and at 16, I began working as a Certified Nurse Aide in a nursing home, where I learned the profound impact of listening, empathy, and companionship. As a mother of six, I have firsthand experience with children of all ages and understand the joys and challenges of raising a family. I believe that family is life's greatest blessing, but let’s be real, it also comes with its fair share of challenges. Life changes in a big way after the birth of a child, whether it’s the first or third one. Every situation, pregnancy, birth story, baby, and postpartum period is unique. My goal is to ensure families receive the non-judgmental and compassionate support they deserve during these times. When I'm not caring for my clients, you can find me spending time with my family, reading, at church, or enjoying a good rom-com. I also love exploring new places, grabbing coffee with friends, or indulging in a little shopping spree.

It is my mission to support families in achieving a satisfying birth and postpartum experience. Every family is unique, as is each pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience.

Looking into certification

Hi there, I’m Skylar! I’m a mother, home herbalist, and farmer living on the prairie in southeast Nebraska. I work as a certified Postpartum Doula and Certified Innate Postpartum Care Provider offering holistic mother care to women for the first year after birth. Our needs after birth are often more vast than we had imagined - intentional healing, nourishing foods, ceremony, emotional tending, and rest are all necessary for us to replenish and grow after birth. I offer gentle & intimate in-home care for the first six weeks after birth focusing on the healing power of food as medicine.

I’m Emily Carlson: a wife, a mom of four, a nurse, a doula, a photographer, and someone who knows just how powerful it is to feel supported through birth and beyond. I became a doula because I believe every woman deserves to feel seen, heard, and held during one of life’s most sacred transitions. Birth isn’t just about bringing a baby into the world, it’s about stepping into a new version of yourself, and no one should have to do that alone. My background as a nurse shaped my understanding of the physical side of birth, but it was my own experiences that stirred something deeper, a calling to offer the kind of emotional, informational, and hands-on support that makes all the difference. I’m here to walk alongside you with calm confidence, fierce encouragement, and a deep respect for your story. And when I’m not supporting births, I’m often behind the camera, documenting the real, raw, and beautiful moments that come after, because every part of the journey matters.
