We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Susy who supported our family a night nanny. From the very first evening, Susy brought a calming presence into our home. She is professional, nurturing, and endlessly reassuring. She cared for our newborn with such expertise and gentle attention allowing us to get the rest we so desperately needed in those early weeks. We always felt completely confident that our baby was in the very best hands. Beyond her work overnight, Susy was a phenomenal resource for all things baby related including sleep routines, feeding support, health concerns, and calming techniques. Susy always made me feel cared for as new mom. She is the ideal mix of warmth and knowledge. She never rushed us and always made us feel empowered in our choices. If you’re lucky enough to have Susy support your family, you will be in the best hands. She was a gift to us and we love her very much!

Susy is seriously the best postpartum doula!! Not only is she extremely knowledgeable and caring but she offers 24/7 support answering calls, texts anything you need even when she's not with you during the day. She took such great care of me and my little boy and taught me so much in the fourth trimester and she's become basically apart of my family! Her services also include connecting with a network of other doulas, nanny's and childcare support, I could not speak more highly of her and her business! Just had my second baby and so happy to have her back with me during the nights to help me recover and adjust to having two kids!

Susy was beyond anything we could have ever hoped for. She was knowledgeable, kind, loving, and easy to have around. She is always one step ahead in caring properly for the baby and does everything with a caring and gentle touch. She is a true angel and there is not one thing we would change about our experience working with her. She is amazing!

I am beyond grateful for the incredible support my doula Susy Caracas and her team provided me and my baby girl ten months ago. As a single mom, those first six months were both beautiful and challenging, but Susy was there every step of the way, guiding, educating, and offering unwavering support. From late night feedings to understanding my baby’s needs, she gave me the confidence and knowledge to navigate motherhood with love and assurance. Her kindness, patience, and expertise made all the difference in my journey. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to be by my side. Thank you for your dedication and care, you are a blessing...we love you !
