About me

I’m certified Postpartum Night Doula since 2016 , working in San Francisco & Bay Area. My Husband , 3 kids & I just bought a house in Sacramento county 💖💪🏻 I just finished up sleep training a set of twins and would like to book my next growing family’s in the Sacramento & surrounding areas. I’m registered with Trustline, Carrot Insurance approved, up to date with liability insurance as well as Adult & Pediatric CPR /AED certification. I’ve got years of continuous hands on experience working with Singletons , multiple sets twins & one set of triplets . I’m hoping to continue my career & passion back home. Nurturing families through the 4th trimester, setting up a solid & smooth foundation. ✨The most rewarding part of my “job” is guiding new parents through the first stages of Motherhood, giving parents the confidence & assurance that they’ve got this!! It goes by so quickly! Especially after birth… the hormones, fear & doubt are SO real! People rarely talk about the postpartum experience.

Nichole started working with our twins the night they came home from the hospital. They're 11 weeks old now, and I don't think we could have made it this far without her! Nichole has worked hard to get twins on a sustainable sleep schedule. She's extremely knowledgeable, and has been instrumental in helping our little guy gain feed well, gain weight (he was 4.5lb at birth!), reduce spit-up, and minimize night wakening as much as possible. Nichole is a great communicator and after each shift she sends us notes on how our babies slept and ate the night before. She is very collaborative and flexible- she's even unphased by our very loud dog. Nichole arrives early most nights, and in the morning, we discover that all the bottles have been washed and the babies' laundry is done! We're so glad we hired Nichole, and she has helped us maintain our sanity during this very chaotic time!

We were lucky enough to work with Nichole for both of our children (born 5 years apart). Our first was an early preemie and we were first time parents and so grateful for Nichole! He had to be fed very frequently to gain weight and Nichole got him to eat (and eventually sleep!) like a champion. She was happy to provide support and guidance and answer all of our newborn questions. She is truly a baby expert! I felt so comfortable with her in the house and knowing that baby was being cared for by someone so loving and also diligent. I really felt like she took care of my son exactly like I would. We also worked with her with our second baby for a few months and again she helped us get rest and was so kind and supportive. She helped us remember all the newborn things we had forgotten and was able to provide support and suggestions for any issues that came up. Nichole is an expert and felt like a trusted family member and friend and we feel so lucky to have had her help with both of our children. She is an expert, a professional, and truly one of the most wonderful people I have ever met.

Nichole is an absolute gem! From the moment my twins came home, she stepped in as our night nurse and became an invaluable part of our family. Not only did she provide exceptional care to our little ones during those precious nighttime hours, but she also went above and beyond to guide and support me through the challenges of early parenthood. Nichole's expertise extended far beyond her role as a night nurse. She patiently taught me essential skills like bathing the babies and shared invaluable tips and tricks for feeding and soothing them. Her gentle guidance and support were a lifeline during one of the most challenging times of my life. Even now, as my twins are 5 year olds, Nichole and I still stay in touch. Her impact goes far beyond those early days and she truly embodies the definition of an angel! I am forever grateful for her presence in our lives and she will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Nicole is the best and we really miss her. She took care of our son in 2020 for 6 weeks and our daughter in 2023 for 4 months at night. She immediately made us feel comfortable, giving us precious sleep while also being a guide to being new parents. I always looked forward to seeing her ever night! Without her, the newborn experience would have been significantly harder. We <3 her!
