Hello! I'm Donnette, a certified postpartum and infant care doula, with over 4 years of experience mostly as an overnight nanny. I am of a calm and gentle demeanor, with patience, and an eagerness, and readiness to learn. My goal is to offer a service that specifically meets the needs of my new mom and family. I aim to pass on my extensive knowledge in newborn/infant care to help equip and provide with all the tools and tips needed to be a confident and thriving new mom. I have had the privilege of supporting countless families during the precious and often challenging early days of parenthood. My journey began with a passion for helping new parents find balance and peace during the postpartum period. As a certified postpartum doula and experienced night nanny, I have dedicated myself to providing compassionate, personalized care to newborns and their families. I am competent in skin-to-skin, basic knowledge in lactation, mother-baby bonding, basic sleep training and care for your precious baby. I strive to create a nurturing and supportive environment where parents can feel confident and well-rested. Whether it's soothing a fussy baby, assisting with breastfeeding, or simply offering an extra pair of hands, my goal is to make the transition into parenthood as smooth and joyful as possible. My duties include coming to your home daily and or nightly during the first weeks to months of your baby’s life to assist you in caring for your most precious bundle of joy. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and help you enjoy this beautiful journey. Let's make this experience a wonderful one together!

My expertise spans a range of essential areas including skin-to-skin care, basic knowledge in breastfeeding support, mother-baby bonding, basic sleep training, and overall infant care, as well as an emotional support system for the mom.
Donnette is a kind, caring, and experienced overnight nanny and childcare specialist. She worked with my family (this was our first baby) and supported us for 3-4 months in the newborn to infant stages. Donnette was always professional, reliable, and communicative and our baby really enjoyed spending time with her (playing and bath time before bed). We highly recommend Donnette.

Not only am I writing this as a parent but also as a sister. Throughout my entire life Donnette has always been a natural caretaker. I was fortunately blessed with a daughter whom in her first 5yrs had the best babysitter/nurse before moving to another state. Donnette through experience has displayed in her own way motherhood following proper nutrition and nursing protocols which produces cheerful babies with good sleep patterns once returned comforts of their own parents. I’ve also can confirm on my own witness that she also help with early childhood learning skills development through her verbal interactions with infants; my very own daughter and cousins also being a testimony to that. I have and would continue to recommend your services. Keep up the great work.
