About me
Hello! My name is Vania, and I am a certified postpartum doula serving families throughout Bucks County and the surrounding areas. I am DONA-trained, ProDoula certified, hold a Bachelor's degree in Social Work from Brazil, and am currently pursuing my nursing education. My passion for supporting families began in 2014 while participating in an exchange program in the Netherlands, where I helped care for newborn twins. That experience inspired a lifelong commitment to supporting parents and babies during the early postpartum period. Since 2013, I have worked closely with newborns, infants, and families as a professional newborn nanny and postpartum professional, gaining extensive experience with newborn care, feeding support, infant development, and family adjustment. As a postpartum doula, I provide compassionate, evidence-informed support tailored to each family's unique needs. I have experience supporting families with newborns, twins, premature infants, and NICU graduates through both daytime and overnight care. My goal is to help parents feel confident, supported, and empowered as they navigate the transition to life with a new baby. I believe every family deserves nonjudgmental, personalized care and support. Whether you are welcoming your first baby or growing your family, I am honored to walk alongside you during this special season of life.

Ratings and reviews
We had an amazing experience with Vania! From our very first interaction to the end of our 12 weeks together, she was supportive, helpful, and incredibly kind. We felt so fortunate to be connected with her and truly appreciated having her guidance during such an important time. Vania is knowledgeable, professional, and always provided thoughtful, practical solutions tailored to our baby’s needs. She helped us navigate everything from feeding challenges to sleep issues with patience and expertise. Thanks to her guidance, we were able to establish a solid sleep routine, which made a huge difference for our entire family. We are incredibly grateful for Vania’s support, encouragement, and dedication. She consistently made us feel heard, supported, and confident in the decisions we were making for our baby. We highly recommend Vania to any family looking for compassionate, knowledgeable, and effective support. She has been an invaluable resource, and we can’t thank her enough!

Vania joined our family when our twins came home from the NICU, and she was a total game-changer. She took the time to truly know each of our boys, managing their bad reflux and tummy troubles with patience and care. I slept soundly at night knowing she was there. On top of being an incredible caregiver, she is tidy and kept our nursery and feeding supplies perfectly organized and clean, always helping with their laundry and washing bottles/ pump parts. She is a true professional with a big heart. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Vania if you are looking for a doula for your family. She was a caring, kind, compassionate person to help us with our newborn baby girl. Vania was also helpful with tips for feeding if I needed any. She was also wonderful with helping us out with our dishes and cleaning our daughter’s bottles while we slept. Vania also did a nice job folding our laundry if I left any out when she was starting a shift. I am very grateful my husband and I had her as a doula for our newborn baby girl.
