Night Nannies & Night Nurses Near Me in Wilkes-Barre, PA

Welcome! I’m Jessica, owner of The Happy Mama Place. For more than a decade, I’ve supported families through pregnancy, birth, and the transition into parenthood throughout Northeast and Central Pennsylvania. I’m a DONA Certified Birth Doula, Certified HypnoBirthing Childbirth Educator, Licensed Massage Therapist, Body Ready Method Pro, Certified High-Risk Doula, and trained in supporting families experiencing pregnancy after infant loss. My work brings together birth support, childbirth education, bodywork, movement, and nervous system awareness to help families prepare for birth both physically and mentally. I believe birth preparation is about more than memorizing positions or techniques. Every body is different, every baby moves through the pelvis differently, and every birth unfolds differently. My goal is to help you better understand your body, reduce fear, build confidence, and develop tools you can actually use during labor. My services include birth doula support, HypnoBirthing childbirth education, prenatal and induction massage and bodywork, labor support, and placenta encapsulation. The Happy Mama Place also has a team of doulas available for families seeking postpartum doula support. I support families throughout Northeast and Central Pennsylvania, including the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area, the Poconos, Bloomsburg and Danville, the Lehigh Valley, and surrounding communities. Whether you’re preparing for your first birth, navigating a high-risk pregnancy, hoping for a different experience after a previous birth, or simply looking for more individualized preparation and support, I’d love to learn about you and what you envision for your birth. Send me a message and tell me a little about where you are in your pregnancy and what kind of support you’re looking for. I’d love to connect.

I'm Victoria — a DONA-certified birth and postpartum doula, Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC), International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) Candidate, Hypnobabies Hypnobirthing Instructor, and trained in Craniosacral Fascial Therapy, Craniosacral Therapy & Acupressure! My journey into birth work began with my own transformative postpartum experience as a mother, which inspired me to support others through the deeply personal and powerful seasons of pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood. I take a wholistic approach that centers each family’s unique needs with care and compassion. With a strong focus on maternal mental health and emotional well-being, I’m a dedicated advocate for informed, empowered choices and gentle, supportive care. I believe that when we nurture the mother, we nurture the entire family — and it’s my honor to hold space for both the beauty and the challenges of this life-changing journey.

My name is Grace Kovitch and I am a certified birth and postpartum doula, as well as craniosacral therapy practitioner located in Emmaus, Pennsylvania. When I started off as a birth doula, I quickly saw the drop off in care that happened with postpartum mothers, and have dedicated my career to making sure every new mom is educated, supported, and cared for. Postpartum support is truly where my heart is, and I love seeing the moment where a new mom starts to feel confident in her new role. When I'm not supporting families, you can find me hiking, backpacking, or spending time with my loved ones.

Hi there, Friend! I became a doula, because I realized my passion for prenatal care, birth, and postpartum support was not departing after my own experiences. My goal is to be able to help and support other women in my community. I desire to have them experience excitement and confidence in themselves that I hope leaves them encouraged. I have been through three pregnancies myself and have walked alongside many friends and family members journeys. I live in the tranquil countryside of Northern NJ, about 5 minutes away from the borders of Upstate NY and PA and only 90 minutes away from NYC! My husband of 10 years and myself were born and raised in Sussex County. We love where we live as it is quiet, beautiful, and allows us to continue our dreams of one day having our own homestead. We look forward to raising our three beautiful children here as well. As a collegiate business major and previous elementary/middle school educator, communication, organization, learning, and teaching are very important to me. Volunteering my time frequently allows my empathetic attributes to selflessly serve others and walk alongside my neighbors, peers, friends, and family. In my free time, I love being outside and active with people near and dear to me. I love to garden, take care of our chickens, cook, bake sour-dough, play board games, take hikes, and watch the occasional football game! When it is just my husband and I, you would find us reading or enjoying a nice conversation by the fire or outside in nature on the deck! I cannot wait to connect with you and hear about your journey into motherhood! Through communication, support, and love I am confident and hopeful to be able to come alongside you so you can experience strength, dignity, and laughter in all your maternal moments! XOXO

Hello & Welcome! My name is Akaila Wilson-Ukaegbu, and I’m the heart behind Sincerely, The Village Doula. I specialize in postpartum care, family wellness, and building back the “village” that every new parent deserves. As a mom of three (including twins!) and a developmental psychology student, I bring both lived experience and professional training into my work. My role is to nurture you as you recover, help you feel confident in your new season, and create a calm, supportive space for your whole family. Whether that looks like hands-on support (meals, light household care, body scrubs, relaxation, newborn care) or emotional support (listening ear, encouragement, and guidance), I’m here to remind you that you don’t have to do this alone. I’d love to connect and see how I can walk alongside your family during this special time. 💙

Hi, I’m Lisa. I’m a certified postpartum doula passionate about supporting both mom and baby during those tender, transformative early weeks after birth. I believe no family is meant to do this alone — we were created to be surrounded by a village. The postpartum season is beautiful, but it can also feel overwhelming, exhausting, and full of questions. My role is to step in with calm, steady support so you can rest, recover, and grow in confidence as you learn your baby. I provide practical newborn care, emotional support, and hands-on help around the home so you don’t have to carry everything by yourself. Whether that looks like soothing a fussy baby, helping with feeding, folding laundry, preparing bottles, or simply sitting with you while you process your birth story — I’m here. My approach is gentle, holistic, and judgment-free. I honor your parenting instincts and help you feel empowered in your own decisions. You don’t need to be “doing it all.” You deserve care, too. It would be an honor to walk alongside your family as you find your rhythm and confidence in this new chapter.

Hello there! My name is Jennifer Herman, I am a Functional Mental Health Practitioner, and a Certified Birthing, Postpartum, and Loss and Bereavement Doula. I am also certified in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C) by Postpartum Support International. I specialize in perinatal mental health disorders and loss and grief during the perinatal period. My focus is on supporting birth givers and their families to mentally prepare for the addition of a new family member, as well as to support any mental health disorders that may arise postpartum. This includes anxiety, depression, OCD, panic and more. I also work with mothers and families during periods of grief and loss due to pregnancy loss of any kind and stillbirth. I have experienced firsthand the effects of pregnancy loss, and infertility and how they can affect birthing persons, mothers, and families not only mentally, but physically. I have been a support group facilitator for 4 years. Please feel free to reach out to learn more about how I can support you through such a momentous moment in your life. You are not alone.

I’m Clarissa Alves, a certified doula and the person behind Mooncradle Matrescence. My work is rooted in bodily autonomy, informed consent, reproductive justice, and the belief that every family deserves to be heard, respected, and supported without judgment. As an Afro-Indigenous mother born and raised in the Bronx, I know that navigating maternal healthcare as a person of color can come with its own challenges. Too often, people are dismissed, their instincts are questioned, and normal experiences are treated like problems that need to be fixed. That’s a big part of why I do this work. I want families to know their rights, understand their options, and feel empowered to make decisions about their own bodies and their own births. For me, birth work also means challenging the systems and beliefs that have shaped the way we approach pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care. I believe in decolonizing birth, honoring ancestral wisdom, and making room for evidence based care without losing sight of the person at the center of it all. Our ancestors have always had knowledge worth honoring, and families deserve care that respects both that wisdom and their individual needs. I don’t believe there is one right way to give birth. An unmedicated birth, a cesarean, a VBAC, or a birth that looks nothing like someone planned all deserve the same respect. My job isn’t to push my beliefs onto anyone or decide what their birth should look like. It’s to provide honest education, help families understand their choices, advocate for their autonomy, and stand beside them through whatever their journey looks like, including the parts that come after birth. At Mooncradle Matrescence, I want families to feel safe enough to ask questions, speak up, change their minds, and trust themselves. You deserve to be treated like a person, not a problem to manage. You deserve to have your voice heard, your boundaries respected, and your choices honored. That’s the kind of care I believe in, and that’s the kind of care I’m here to provide.

After accompanying my own family members through their births, having such a close relationship with my own mother, being with her through the complications she’s had with her second pregnancy, and working with young kids, I have seen first hand what happens when a parent, whether new to the community or a veteran, has community. A tribe that they can rely on, that shows up in their most vulnerable times of their life. Every parent deserves to feel safe, heard respected and advocated for. Every birth is different, my goal is to make sure your choices are supported.
