PRIVATE POSTPARTUM + NEWBORN
CARE
BEYOND
BIRTH
A little more sleep, a lot more confidence, and someone who really knows babies in your corner.
Certified Postpartum Doula • CPST • Newborn Care Specialist • Twin Experience
Trust is
Everything.
Because who you welcome into your home matters just as much as what they know.
-
A new baby changes the whole house. I work with parents, partners, siblings, grandparents, and the people who’ll actually be caring for your baby, so everyone feels more confident in their role.
-
Evidence-informed newborn care, safe sleep, and child & car seat safety are built into how I work. And when something needs a pediatrician, IBCLC, or another specialist, I know when to bring them in.
-
I’ve spent years caring for babies beyond the newborn stage, which means I’m not just thinking about tonight. I have the foundation in mind. I understand feeding, sleep, soothing, development, routines, and the little things babies do that leave new parents Googling at 2 a.m.
Trusted in high-profile and private households where discretion, good judgment, and exceptional care aren’t extras. They’re expected.
So what do I do?
Every family needs something different. Some nights, you need sleep. Some days, you need another set of capable hands. Sometimes you just need someone to tell you, “Yep, that’s normal.”
I step into whatever your family needs most that day — caring for baby, supporting recovery, helping with feeding and routines, teaching the people who want to learn, and making the whole house feel a little less what in the world are we doing?
“Sam’s standards for safety and newborn care are exceptional. Her knowledge, attention to detail, and ability to recognize and respond to our baby’s needs gave us a level of confidence we didn’t know was possible. I trusted her completely.”
— Joanna Y.
Looking back, I realize she wasn’t just helping us through postpartum — she was helping us become a family. And we loved her so so much that when we became pregnant again, she was one of my first calls! She’s a rare kind of person who makes you feel seen, safe, and capable all at once. We’ll never forget what she gave us.
— Luanne H.
“What I love most is that she sees the whole family, not just the baby. She helped the twins feel included, made my husband feel included and heard, and reminded me to slow down and rest.”
— Sarah R.
I’ve spent years caring for babies and working inside family homes, and if there’s one thing I know, it’s that no two households need the exact same kind of support.
I’m a certified postpartum doula, CPST, newborn and infant care provider, and longtime professional nanny. But the part that matters most? I know how to walk into your home, read the room, and figure out where I can actually make life easier.
I’ll love on your baby, absolutely. But I’m also here for the dad who’s nervous about his first solo diaper change, the grandparent learning that newborn recommendations have changed since 1997, the sibling wondering where they fit now, and the exhausted parent who just needs someone capable to say, “I’ve got this. Go sleep.”
Hey, y’all. I’m Sam.
My Support
-
Daytime or overnight support tailored to your family. Newborn care, feeding and soothing support, parent recovery, household rhythms, education, and plenty of “is this normal?” reassurance. My care can also incorporate my training in Sanhujori and other traditional postpartum practices, with an emphasis on rest, warmth, nourishment, and recovery.
-
Let’s make the first few weeks as new parents feel a little less like a pop quiz. Hands-on preparation before baby arrives, including newborn basics, feeding and sleep expectations, soothing, bathing, baby gear, home setup, and making sure both parents feel ready for what’s coming.
-
Car seats shouldn’t feel like a puzzle you’re expected to figure out alone. As a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician, I provide private, hands-on education for your specific car seat, vehicle, and baby.
We’ll review installation, fit, harnessing, recline, common mistakes, and anything else you want to practice so you feel confident using your seat after I leave.
-
Twins? Amazing. Need me to travel? I’ll pack a bag. Have grandparents, siblings, or other caregivers who want to learn right alongside you? Bring them in.
Families don’t come in one-size-fits-all packages, and neither does my care. If you need something that doesn’t quite fit above, tell me what life looks like right now and we’ll build support around it.
