Valerie Ybarra - Newborn Care Specialist

About Valerie

I have a great love of serving and caring for new mamas and their newborns. It's a passion I've had since a teenager. My first postpartum client came along at 18 yrs old - before the word doula was ever known. I have 40yrs of experience working with newborns, new parents, as an educator, postpartum doula, nanny, lactation educator, and newborn care specialist. I have worked in the 3rd largest hospital in the country within the maternity unit as a nurse assistant/patient tech. I also sleep condition and train babies to sleep well at night as long as the parents follow through with instructions when I am not there. Baby can sleep between 10-12hr straight. I also travel with the families anywhere they go within my time frame of my contract. Passport/TSI ready. Many families have me between 6weeks-4months. Feel free to reach out to discuss how I may be of help to you. My free time I love to travel, swim, go boating, and making wreaths for front doors for the holidays. I am based out of Dallas Texas and love to travel to Florida as well to work. New mamas & Newborns are my ONLY Business!

Valerie was amazing. She went above and beyond taking care of me and my newborn baby. I highly recommend her to everyone. She was so caring and super sweet.
