As an experienced postpartum support professional with a background in personal support work and early childhood learning, I bring a calm, nurturing presence to families during the early weeks of newborn life. My training and certifications including Postpartum Doula Certification, Infant/Child CPR, Food Handler Certificate, GPA training, and foundational lactation support—allow me to provide safe newborn care, gentle feeding guidance, and practical household support with confidence and ease. I offer both daytime and overnight care, ensuring families receive steady, reliable help whether they need a night nanny to support restful sleep or hands‑on assistance throughout the day. With a strong foundation in early childhood education and tutoring, I also provide homework support for school‑age siblings, helping maintain routines and easing the transition for the whole family. My approach is rooted in cultural sensitivity, patience, and deep respect for each family’s unique rhythms and values. Whether I’m caring for a newborn, supporting early lactation and bottle‑feeding routines, preparing simple nutritious meals, assisting with homework, or helping parents rest and recover, my focus is always on creating a grounded, supportive environment where families feel confident, rested, and truly cared for.

Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’m a mama of two and someone who truly understands how transformative the journey into parenthood can be. I’ve always been drawn to calm, grounding spaces, whether that’s near the water or in the quiet moments that matter most and I bring that same sense of ease and support into my work as a doula. My path to becoming a doula began before I even realized it. After supporting my sister and brother-in-law with my newborn nephew, I experienced firsthand how vital compassionate, hands-on support can be during those early days. That experience sparked a deep passion in me for creating positive, empowering birth and postpartum journeys. After welcoming my second child, I followed that calling and completed my doula training so I could support other families in a meaningful way. When I’m not supporting families, you’ll likely find me unwinding with a little reality TV. I’m a proud Bravoholic! But at my core, I’m here to offer guidance, reassurance, and a nurturing presence as you step into this new chapter.
