Relevant volunteer or advocacy work

I'm a ProDoula Certified Postpartum & Infant Care Doula, DONA International trained, and CPR/First Aid certified, with a Bachelor's degree in Social Work from Brazil. I'm currently studying nursing at Bucks County Community College. I've cared for newborns and their families since 2014, across Europe and the United States, including twins, premature infants, NICU graduates, and babies born through surrogacy. My social work background shapes how I support parents: listening first, respecting each family's choices, and offering care in English or Portuguese.

Fee Details

Every family's needs are different, so my support is personalized rather than sold as fixed packages. Rates vary with the type of care (overnight care, daytime support, Gentle Sleep Guidance, or travel support), your schedule, and your family's needs, including twins and multiples. Overnight shifts run 9 to 12 hours, most often 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM, and longer shifts can be arranged. Daytime visits are 5 hours or more. We'll go over the details and find the schedule that fits in a consultation. My availability is limited, so it helps to reach out early. More about each service at therestedmamavillage.com.

Vania is an exceptional doula. She is gentle, loving, understanding, and kind. She worked with us as a team, along with our other night doula, to come up with a plan and make sure our twins would be happy, healthy, and able to sleep through the night by the time she left us. Her communication was wonderful and she provided many additional tips catered to our babies beyond night support, such as recommending products to buy and activities to do during the day.  We loved our time having her in our home and are so grateful for the skills and tools she worked with the babies on that will continue to help them as they grow!

I highly recommend Vania as a doula for both her emotional guidance and practical expertise. She guided us through the physiological phases of newborn care and postpartum recovery with immense knowledge. Her active listening skills made me feel completely heard and validated, and her calmness under pressure was deeply reassuring. From breastfeeding support to non-pharmacological comfort measures, her hands-on skills are top-tier. She is responsible, adaptable to family values, and an invaluable support system.

We had an amazing experience with Vania! From our very first interaction to the end of our 12 weeks together, she was supportive, helpful, and incredibly kind. We felt so fortunate to be connected with her and truly appreciated having her guidance during such an important time.

Vania is knowledgeable, professional, and always provided thoughtful, practical solutions tailored to our baby’s needs. She helped us navigate everything from feeding challenges to sleep issues with patience and expertise. Thanks to her guidance, we were able to establish a solid sleep routine, which made a huge difference for our entire family.

We are incredibly grateful for Vania’s support, encouragement, and dedication. She consistently made us feel heard, supported, and confident in the decisions we were making for our baby. We highly recommend Vania to any family looking for compassionate, knowledgeable, and effective support. She has been an invaluable resource, and we can’t thank her enough!

Vania joined our family when our twins came home from the NICU, and she was a total game-changer. She took the time to truly know each of our boys, managing their bad reflux and tummy troubles with patience and care. I slept soundly at night knowing she was there. On top of being an incredible caregiver, she is tidy and kept our nursery and feeding supplies perfectly organized and clean, always helping with their laundry and washing bottles/ pump parts. She is a true professional with a big heart. Highly recommend!
