I am a postpartum doula and Newborn Care Specialist originally from New York, now based in Dallas, Texas, with over a decade of professional experience supporting families in both live-in and live-out roles. I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of families, including high-profile households, and traveling extensively, which has strengthened my ability to adapt seamlessly to different environments and family dynamics. As a member of DONA International, I bring a strong foundation of evidence-based care and a deep commitment to supporting parents during the transition into life with a newborn. My philosophy centers on providing calm, attentive, and individualized care that empowers parents while ensuring their baby’s needs are met with consistency and compassion. I have experience caring for newborns, multiples, and children with special needs, and I approach each family with patience, respect, and professionalism. I am known for being both nurturing and firm when needed, creating a balanced environment that promotes healthy routines, restful sleep, and parental confidence. With a strong work ethic, approachable nature, and proactive problem-solving skills, I strive to be a reliable and reassuring presence during this important time.

In 2024, we were expecting our first child. I was truly nervous as I did not have my mother close to assist me, as a new mom. My sister-in-law gifted me with a doula service. She was very thorough in her research to get me the best help possible so that I will not have to be sad about my mother not being able to make it. So glad she landed onto Nelago’s profile. Nelago took care of our newborn baby like her own. We could not get the baby to calm down but Nelago just had the sweet spirit that our baby would fall asleep in her arms. She knew how to burp her and feed her. All the things we struggled with on our own. If it weren’t for Nelago’s help, I do not know how I would have managed honestly. She gave us the opportunity to have a full night's rest, something newborns do not allow their parents to have. Our baby was thriving under her care. Even after our baby transitioned to eating solids, she would still be helping out with meal plans for her. Nelago is an amazing person I know I can trust my baby and babies to come any day. We nicknamed her “The Baby Whisperer” because of how she just knows how to love and calm babies. She is the best!!!

I am a passionate doula and yoga teacher who loves helping people find balance and strength in every stage of life. As a birth and postpartum doula, I specialize in natural births and believe every woman should have the opportunity to birth on her own terms. I provide evidence-based education, emotional support, and hands-on care, empowering families to make informed decisions that align with their values. With a calming presence and deep respect for the birthing process, I ensure each person feels supported, heard, and in control of their experience. Above all, I am a devoted mother who cherishes time with my son. I find joy in the outdoors, spending my free moments with loved ones, on my yoga mat, or enjoying peaceful walks. My mission is to create nurturing, empowering spaces where people can grow, connect, and feel supported on their journey.

Mya is amazing! She did an excellent job going over my options (both in terms of birth interventions and her support measures) and learning my birth desires and preferred comfort measures during prenatal appointments. She took the time to interact with my children so they’d feel comfortable with her coming into our home. Once we knew baby was on the way, she arrived quickly and more than prepared for all my potential needs and desires. When labor was hard, I felt comfortable expressing my feelings, and Mya knew exactly what to do and say to encourage me and physically help me through the discomfort. My mother made it a point to call me the next day and say that Mya has a warm yet calming energy, and that she was impressed with how anticipatory Mya was (noticing when I might need water, a tens unit adjustment, a comb to hold, etc. and acting right away). I even overheard my midwife telling Mya how impressed she was and asking for business cards so she could recommend Mya to her clients. This was my third child and third unmedicated birth, and I can say with confidence that—even as an experienced and thoroughly educated mother—Mya made a significant, positive difference in how I experienced my labor. She was a trusted friend who moved through the experience with me, soothing me, supporting my family, and effortlessly helping to coordinate small details like facilitating pickup with the placenta encapsulator. I appreciated her knowledge, work ethic, and servant’s spirit. If I ever fall pregnant again, I will be hiring Mya, and I highly recommend you do, too.

I’m Emilee, affectionately known as Nanny Emmy. I’m a career nanny with over thirty years of experience caring for children of all ages. For nearly the past decade, I’ve focused exclusively on newborn and postpartum care, supporting more than fifty families through one of the most important transitions of their lives. Working with families is not about showing up with a checklist. It is about walking into a home and immediately understanding what is needed. From the baby who is struggling to settle, to the parent running on empty, to the small details no one else has time to think about, I bring experience, confidence, and a listening ear. I provide a combination of newborn care and postpartum support, whether during the day, overnight, or both. My care is practical, intuitive, and grounded in evidence-based practice. Whether I'm caring for your baby through the night, helping establish healthy sleep habits, or managing a few household tasks while you rest, my presence is intentional and my care is always tailored to your family’s needs. What sets me apart is not just experience. It is the ability to assess a situation, respond with purpose, and care for the family as a whole. I understand what recovery actually looks like. I understand what newborns need. And I know how to bring relief and routine into a home that feels stretched thin. My goal is to leave families feeling confident and capable without the guesswork. You already know you need the help. The next step is saying yes. Getting started is simple, and the support that follows brings real peace of mind.

I am a Certified Newborn Care Specialist, Certified Postpartum Doula, and Certified Infant Sleep Consultant with over a decade of hands-on experience supporting families through the newborn and postpartum stages. I am also certified in Safe Sleep Education and HIPAA Compliance, and I am an active member of the Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric & Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN), allowing me to provide evidence-based care in alignment with OB-GYN and perinatal teams. My expertise lies in overnight newborn care, particularly with high-needs infants, including freshly discharged NICU infants, premature multiples, and medically complex babies, with experience supporting individualized feeding plans, including NG tube care and feeding tube management, in close collaboration with parents and medical teams. I am also experienced in developmental sleep conditioning and establishing structured yet gentle routines that promote healthy sleep patterns. I provide attentive, high-level postpartum support, ensuring both baby and parents are cared for with intention, discretion, and professionalism. I approach every family with a calm, intuitive presence, creating an environment that feels both restful and reassuring. My care style is gentle, detail-oriented, and rooted in safety, while remaining adaptable to each baby’s temperament and each family’s unique dynamic. I take pride in not only supporting infants, but also in guiding parents to feel confident, informed, and at ease during this transition. Having worked with singletons, multiples, and extremely preterm infants, I am comfortable in high-responsibility roles and thrive in environments that require both attentiveness and emotional intelligence. I am deeply committed to safe sleep practices and maintaining the highest standards of care at all times. In addition to my clinical experience, I bring a strong background in client relations, business development, and creative production, along with leadership training from Harvard Business School and a professional certificate in Corporate Finance from Columbia. This allows me to integrate seamlessly, communicate effectively, and uphold a high level of professionalism in every interaction. I am seeking opportunities with families who value a thoughtful, elevated level of care, where I can provide consistent, nurturing support while helping create a sense of balance, rest, and confidence during the postpartum period.

It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Fontanne Bassey. She cared for my baby, Amelia, and was truly exceptional in every way. Fontanne stood out immediately for her professionalism, warmth, and deep expertise in newborn care. Fontanne specializes in working with newborns and demonstrated remarkable knowledge of baby development and activities. She thoughtfully introduced engaging, age-appropriate routines and executed them diligently and on time. She was always punctual, dependable, and communicated with me clearly and consistently throughout the day. Fontanne kept detailed track of Amelia’s naps, feedings, and general well-being, which gave me complete peace of mind as a parent. Beyond her childcare expertise, Fontanne went above and beyond in every aspect—cleaning bottles, offering to do light laundry, and keeping the nursery tidy and organized. Her calm, nurturing presence and proactive approach made her an invaluable support to our family. I wholeheartedly recommend Fontanne to any family, childcare agency, or educational program seeking someone who is compassionate, reliable, and deeply knowledgeable about infant care. She exceeded every expectation and will undoubtedly bring the same excellence, positivity, and dedication wherever she goes. Sincerely, Alma Frith

Hi, I’m Angelique — a birth doula, childcare professional, and mama with a deep passion for supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I believe birth is one of the most transformative seasons in a woman’s life, and every mother deserves to feel heard, informed, supported, and cared for throughout the journey. My role as your doula is to provide calm, compassionate, judgment-free support while helping you feel confident in your choices and connected to your birth experience. My philosophy centers around education, advocacy, emotional support, and creating a peaceful environment where families can feel safe and empowered. Whether you’re planning an unmedicated birth, epidural, induction, cesarean, hospital birth, or home birth, I believe there is no “one right way” to give birth — only the way that feels right for you. I support parents by offering evidence-based education, comfort measures, encouragement, partner support, and a grounding presence throughout labor and postpartum. I value gentle, family-centered care and strive to help parents enter this new chapter feeling strengthened, supported, and deeply seen.

Angelique is amazing. The amount of support during my postpartum journey has been phenomenal! The prayers, the amount of phone calls I’ve made constantly since my daughter is my first child and all of the information given has made me at ease in my mind and heart. She is super knowledgeable on ALL things baby and postpartum. She made time to come visit me in person as well to make sure my wellbeing was in good shape! Thank you for everything!

What a joy Meredeth is! Warm, knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. I truly could not have asked for a better night nanny. From the very beginning I felt at ease knowing my baby was in her care. Not only does she provide excellent infant care among her many talents, she is also a wonderful listening ear and friend to her clients. She will be greatly missed around our home but I am so happy to have met her and learned so much from her. If you’re apprehensive about hiring help, Meredeth will certainly disarm any anxieties you may have and give you the gentle care and trust all new parents need.
