It was an absolute pleasure working with Fernanda during the first six weeks postpartum. She provided guidance—especially when our baby was having tummy troubles—and helped us understand when it was appropriate to let the baby sleep longer stretches without waking. Thanks to her support, I was able to get more consistent, longer stretches of sleep, which made a huge difference in my recovery and even helped boost my milk supply. She is incredibly calm, always prompt, and very easy to communicate with. We are so grateful for her support and care!

Fernanda was amazing! She came highly recommended by a friend, and I can see why. She was a calm and supportive presence during a stressful time, and did a great job caring for our baby and establishing great sleep habits. Her tips around digestive drops, when to transition to faster flow nipples, and how to do sleep shaping were super helpful. We hope to work with Fernanda again for our second!

We had the pleasure of working with Fernanda for six weeks, and her presence brought invaluable peace and quiet to our newborn stage. Her deep knowledge and experience were immediately apparent and incredibly reassuring, and she communicated with clarity and ease throughout our time together. We always felt completely comfortable and confident in her care; she is deeply trustworthy, consistently attentive, and provided care in a way that felt natural and non-intrusive. Her calm, steady presence made a lasting difference during those early weeks, and we feel so fortunate to have had her support.

Fernanda was a wonderful doula and such a great support during the first 6 weeks with our baby. She came highly recommended by a friend who’s worked with several doulas, and we quickly saw why—she’s one of the best. She’s easy to communicate with, which made it simple to coordinate care and schedules, and she handled even the fussiest moments with calm, patience, and experience. We’re so grateful to have had her help!

Fernanda did a wonderful job as our night doula from day 1 until 3 months. She was incredibly prompt and responsive to communication. At our request, she proactively made suggestions when she felt it was time to adjust schedules or feeds and helped get our daughter on a good night time schedule. We would work with her again and definitely recommend!

We had the pleasure of working with Fernanda for two months. During the first month, she helped us establish a consistent feeding schedule for our baby, which allowed us to get the much-needed rest we so desperately needed. In the second month, Fernanda assisted us in helping our baby understand the concepts of day and night. She guided us in creating a healthy eat-play-sleep cycle and establishing a solid schedule. Gradually, we were able to reduce the number of nighttime feedings, leading to longer stretches of sleep. Fernanda is knowledgeable and compassionate, and our baby was cared for very well under her guidance.

Fernanda helped to care for our newborn for her first 11 weeks. She was very caring and attentive to our daughter's needs and helped us to get a lot more rest in the early weeks of newborn life!

Fernanda provided overnight care for our son for the first six weeks and we are so grateful to have had her support during those tough first weeks!  She quickly helped us to set up a routine and patiently answered all of our questions and addressed our concerns. She is extremely knowledegable about newborns and really helped to reduce our stress and anxiety. We would highly recommend her care!

My family had a great experience with Fernanda! She watched our little one from when he was 5 weeks to when he was 10 weeks old, and she did a great job of tending to his needs and taking care of him overnight. As first time parents we were nervous about leaving our baby with a stranger, but Fernanda was extremely reliable and interacted wonderfully with our son. She was extremely communicative and punctual, and she clearly has a ton of experience taking care of babies, which made us feel great about our decision!

Fernanda was amazing with our newborn. We had her with our family on the first day our son was born and both for day care and night care. She was exceptionally caring and patient with our baby. She also was very proactive in making sure everything was smooth (whether the nursery, pumping, schedule, etc.) and had a wealth of newborn experience. Any family would be lucky to have her as part of their baby's first few months.
