GET THE REST YOU NEED WHILE YOUR BABY IS CARED FOR BY AN EXPERIENCED NEWBORN CARE SPECIALIST + POSTPARTUM DOULA.
Based in St. Petersburg and serving families across Tampa Bay, Sunshine City Doula provides expert overnight care from birth through the first year—supporting families with professional, trusted coverage throughout the night.
Overnight Newborn Care
Overnight care is provided in 8–12 hour shifts, typically between the hours of 9:00 PM and 7:00 AM. During this time, I care for your baby throughout the night—handling feedings, diaper changes, soothing, and light baby-related tasks—so you can get the uninterrupted rest you need.
Sunshine City Doula offers overnight newborn care every night of the week, with flexible scheduling for families who need just a few nights of care per week. An 8-hour minimum shift is required (10:00 PM–6:00 AM), and rates begin at $30/hour for a singleton.
MODERN, EVIDENCE-BASED CARE
Night Doula Services Include:
Nighttime Newborn Care
I focus on nurturing your newborn while adhering to the highest safety and care standards. This includes:
Feeding, diapering, and comforting your baby so you can rest undisturbed.
Creating an optimal sleep environment and establishing a nighttime routine that works for your family.
Whether I gently wake you up to nurse for night feeds, or I feed them with a bottle, your baby will be nourished and loved throughout the night.
Following AAP recommendations to ensure your baby's safety, including maintaining a safe sleep space at all times.
New Parent Support
Handling baby-related chores such as: washing bottles and pump parts, breastmilk/formula prep, organization of the nursery, restocking and refreshing changing stations, and starting baby laundry as needed.
Comprehensive notes on your baby’s feeds, diapers, and sleep, so when you awaken the next morning you are fully caught up.
