Whether you’re looking for postpartum support or just a little more sleep, I’m here to support you and your family!
As a seasoned newborn care specialist and postpartum doula, I am experienced with multiples, preemies, and special needs babies so I can help your family get off to a great start whatever your unique situation might be. Every family needs something a little different, but here are the services I see being the most helpful.
Overnight Newborn Care
Sometimes referred to as a “night nurse”, “night nanny” or “baby nurse”, as a newborn care specialist and postpartum doula, I provide support for you and your baby throughout the night to ensure a restful and joyous transition during those first few months.
I help with everything from your baby’s evening bath and bedtime routine, feeding support, newborn education, and implementing healthy sleep habits. I care for your baby while you sleep peacefully, promptly meeting all your little one’s needs during those nighttime wakes; including feeding, burping, diaper changes, and soothing back to sleep. If you exclusively breastfeed, I will bring baby to you throughout the night and help you get comfortable during nursing sessions. Beyond baby care, I assist with baby laundry, restocking the changing station, light nursery organization, washing bottles & pump parts, breast milk storage, and preparing bottles for the day ahead.
Those with twins or multiples love the extra hands-on support and guidance to introduce a routine for their babies!
Overnight support is provided in 10-12 hour shifts between 7pm-7am.
$35/hr - $45/hr
Daytime Postpartum Support
As a professionally trained and certified postpartum doula, I can help you with everything you need to create a positive and encouraging first few months with your baby.
The ways in which I can support you are endless and are customized during each visit. Daytime doula services can include nurturing care of your baby; so you can nap, shower, and eat a warm meal, along with nursing and bottle feeding support. I provide newborn care tutorials such as bathing, calming techniques, and swaddling to boost your confidence. I make sure you are well cared for with light meal preparation and grocery shopping, along with steadfast emotional support of your birth and parenting experience. You stay in bed and bond with your baby, while your doula helps wash the bottle & pump parts, brings in the groceries, and restocks the nursery. I’m also an expert in helping the sibling transition and help your other children adjust to the new addition.
4-8 hour daytime visits available.
Rates begin at $40/hr.
Infant Sleep Training
Have you been told that having a baby means that you won't ever get a good night's sleep ever again? It doesn't have to be that way, and you can create a healthy sleep foundation for your baby to ensure that everyone in the family gets the best sleep possible.
Through evidence-based methods, we will look at all aspects of your baby's routine, from eating to playing, to determine the best way for your baby to sleep through the night. Once we understand what is normal for your baby and determine the best way to establish healthy sleep patterns, I can create a unique plan that meets both your and your baby's needs. I then come to your home to provide in-person sleep conditioning/training.
Understanding the science behind sleep will give you the insight necessary to make informed decisions about how best to care for your new family member. Having an understanding of what your baby needs will help you become a more confident and well-rested parent, which is the ultimate goal for my sleep training services.
In-home sleep training is provided in 10-hour or 12-hour overnight shifts.
Rates begin at $40/hr.
