Choosing Dayna as my doula was one of the most empowering decisions I made during my pregnancy. I was planning a freebirth and wanted someone by my side who not only respected my autonomy, but also deeply understood the spiritual and instinctual nature of birth. Dayna was that person—and so much more. From the beginning, she held space for my choices without judgment. She offered guidance rooted in wisdom, experience, and deep trust in the birthing process. Her presence gave me the confidence to lean fully into my body and my baby, knowing I was never alone in the journey—even though I chose to birth without medical assistance. Dayna was calm, intuitive, and hands-off in the best way, always available when I needed her but never imposing. She brought peace into the space and honored every aspect of my process, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. If you’re seeking someone who will walk beside you with reverence, respect, and belief in your power, Dayna is that guide. She doesn’t just support birth—she honors it as sacred. I am forever grateful.

Mia is the best midwife a woman/ family could ask for! She was there for me throughout my entire pregnancy mentally, physically, & spiritually, checking in on me to see how I was feeling, doing, and processing everything. She provided great information & resources for me & my husband regarding the birthing process to help prepare us for birth. Midwife Mia was attentive to my needs and knew exactly what was needed to help me whether it be magnesium for my migraines or a chiropractor to help with back pain/ laboring. She was always prompt in her responses to me no matter the time of day/ night & arrived as soon as necessary once my water broke. She was perfect during my laboring process knowing when to offer me liquids to stay hydrated, different positions to labor in, and when I just needed to be by myself/ with my husband. She was an absolute amazing midwife & I couldn’t imagine having anyone else being my midwife to bring my babies into this world!

Being a mother of two, I realize how crucial professional care during pregnancy, birth and postpartum period is. I have been a Doua for more than 14 years. My goal and philosophy is that every mother feels grounded, nourished, empowered and ready to take on motherhood. They are best able to do so with enough knowledge as labor progresses on its own. I make sure that each woman that works with me is receiving physical and mental care, both before and after birth, evidence based Knowledge to make inform decisions.

10 Stars out of 5! Alina was/is simply AMAZING!!!!! She is very caring with a sweet spirit yet stern when necessary. Alina was my doula (01/2025-05/2025) and she came with me to doctor appointments, was available 24/7 to answer and advise me as necessary. She wrote down a very detailed plan on how I wanted my delivery to go, however, quite a bit changed. Alina was there every step of the way, ensuring that I had everything I wanted and needed to be comfortable. She was my voice at the hospital when I had none. The staff tried to ignore my desires, she stood "our" ground and literally held me up. I've also signed a waiver to take home my placenta and the staff attempted to discard it, however Alina intervened and made sure my placenta was packaged correctly, so we can get it to the placenta encapsulation specialist. I literally can go on and on about her. Even during my postpartum care, Alina constantly checked in with me and gave me the support I didn't know I have needed. I would definitely recommend Alina's services to all.

As both a nurse and a caregiver, I bring not only clinical expertise but also a deep sense of compassion and respect for families. My background as a NICU nurse has given me extensive experience in caring for the most fragile and precious little ones, and it has shaped my philosophy of providing care that is safe, nurturing, and centered on the unique needs of each baby. I believe in creating a calm, supportive environment where infants can thrive, while also offering parents peace of mind knowing their child is in capable and caring hands. Caring for newborns is not just my profession—it is my passion. I understand that entrusting someone with your baby is one of the biggest decisions you can make, and my goal is to support families with a balance of clinical knowledge and warm, attentive care. Whether it’s helping a little one adjust to new routines, promoting healthy development, or providing parents with reassurance and guidance, I am dedicated to being a reliable partner in your baby’s earliest days.

Working with Tracy has been a wonderful experience. She brings both professional expertise as a nurse and the nurturing perspective of being a mother of three. Tracy has a calm, reassuring presence and an incredible depth of knowledge about newborn care, safe sleep, and infant soothing. She not only provides exceptional care for babies, but also supports parents in feeling more confident and rested during those challenging early days. Tracy is reliable, compassionate, and flexible, which made such a difference for our family. I would highly recommend her to any parent seeking a newborn specialist or night nanny—you’ll feel at ease knowing your baby is in such capable and caring hands.

Hello I’m an experience certified Newborn Care Specialist / Overnight nanny and daytime nanny. Looking for opportunities to serve family in an overnight/ daytime capacity. I have enjoyed working with newborns and newborn twins 0-12 months for over 14 years. Truly God has gifted me to render special care to precious babies. I love what I do it brings joy to my heart.

Recent review

We are so glad we found Lena to care for our newborn overnight. Our baby adored her - she would light up with a big smile every night when Lena arrived and greeted her. Lena handled every aspect of overnight care: bathing, feeding, soothing, and washing bottles several times a night to make things easy for us in the morning. She was very reliable: always on time, communicative, and flexible when our schedule changed. Most importantly, we completely trusted her with our newborn. Lena went above and beyond for us, and we recommend her to anyone looking for newborn care.
