Fee Details

I charge $40/hour for both daytime shifts and overnight. I am a postpartum doula, newborn care specialist, and early childhood educator. I have extensive training and bring a holistic, whole-family approach to every home I support. I focus not only on the birthing parent and newborn, but also on the entire household, especially siblings, easing families' transitions. I have a background in early childhood education and have years of experience with newborns and young children. I understand the emotional and developmental needs of older siblings during this major life shift. I offer gentle, responsive support that helps them feel seen, secure, and included. My approach is rooted in attachment theory and influenced by Waldorf principles. I support families with a balance of warmth and structure, offering both help and education during the early weeks and months.

We had the pleasure of working with Stella as a temporary nanny, and I can’t recommend her enough. She supported us during a big transition as we went from one child to two under two, caring for both our newborn and toddler with incredible patience, warmth, and skill.

Stella was extremely flexible and always respected my pace and comfort level, especially when it came to letting someone care for such a fresh baby. She is well-educated, gentle, playful, and highly capable of managing two little ones at once. She collaborated closely with us as parents, adapting to our preferences rather than following rigid routines, which made the whole experience so much easier and less stressful.

We also worked with Stella for one night as a night nanny, and she helped me catch up on some much-needed sleep. She offered several options and arrangements based on my preferences for caring for my newborn at night (mix of nursing and bottle feeding expressed milk), which allowed me to rest while still feeling comfortable and supported.

Our toddler absolutely loved when she came over, and she even helped with light housework, making a big difference in our daily routine.

Overall, Stella stepped in and made my life easier. Her passion in her work and love for children is palpable. She provided care and support in a personalized, compassionate way, and I’m so grateful for the role she played during such an important transition for our family. We can't thank her enough!
