Our Approach to Postpartum Care

The First 48 Hours

Bringing your newborn home can be overwhelming. Let us make those first 48 hours smoother by spending two full days and nights with your family.

We’ll educate you on newborn care, help with feeding (breastfeeding or bottle feeding), ensure proper rest for the family, and assist with light household tasks. Our goal is to create a nurturing environment for both you and your baby.

Overnight Doula Support

Get a peaceful night’s rest with our overnight doula service. We offer a minimum of 3 nights (30 hours) of support, checking in each evening to discuss your day, assisting with breastfeeding, and providing newborn care. You’ll wake up feeling refreshed, knowing your baby is in loving hands overnight.

Daytime Doula Support

Our daytime support offers you the break you need during the day. With 3-hour daily visits (minimum of 5 days), we help with feeding, bottle prep, light housework, and newborn care. This service allows you to rest and recover, knowing your baby and home are well cared for.

Sharonda is an amazing doula. We hired Sharonda to help us with overnight infant care when our baby was 7 weeks old. She worked with us for about a month. She has a wonderful calm energy that our baby instantly connected with. She is also a wealth of knowledge that really helped us make both sleep and lactation decisions. She was communicative, reliable, and very warm. We never felt judged by her. She came highly recommended and I would definitely highly recommend her.

Brad and Katya Oct 2023

As a first time mom, I didn't realize how much support I would actually need postpartum. I almost didn't take on the opportunity, but I'm so glad I did. With all of the influx of information on social media and family, you can feel overwhelmed. Not sure what's "normal". Sharonda was the comforting aunt in your family to hold your hand and comfort you throughout those initial whirlwind weeks. She always made sure to check on me, mama, first. Reminding me that although we love our babies, we have to make sure mama is okay first. Making sure I took time for myself so that I could be better for everyone in the household. We were able to laugh and find humor in the crazy, as well as soaking up all the amazing feels a newborn brings. I would recommend her to anyone and am so thankful she held my hand through my first ride becoming a mama. 🙂

Danielle, Virtual Support May 2023

I cannot express enough how grateful my family is for the incredible support we received from Sharonda during the early weeks with our newborn. From the moment she stepped into our home, she brought a sense of calm and reassurance that we desperately needed. What truly set Sharonda apart was her unwavering dedication and kindness. She was always punctual and took her responsibilities seriously, allowing my husband and me to get the rest we needed. Her gentle presence provided a sense of security, and we trusted her completely with our baby's care. We wholeheartedly recommend Sharonda to any new parents in need of nighttime support. She is not only an expert in her field but also a genuinely caring and compassionate individual who has made a positive and lasting impact on our family. We are so grateful for her dedication and care.

“Simply put, Sharonda was a light and a guide during the confusing, bleary-eyed days of early parenthood. She navigated us through feeding struggles, supported us as new parents and grew our confidence piece by piece. Every night, her warmth and kindness were a welcome respite from the chaos of the day. We joked the beginning of each night was like a masterclass consultation with Sharonda in all-things baby. Anything we worried or wondered about - she always seemed to know what to do. She was so reassuring to us as first time parents. Initially we worried it might feel disruptive having a stranger in our home, helping to care for our newborn - but it took less than 10 seconds for us to feel immediately comfortable with Sharonda. Give yourself and your partner the gift of an experienced caretaker who will support you and nourish you as new parents. It will truly be the best investment you make post-baby. We cannot recommend her highly enough."

A&A February 2022

Sharonda is an incredible resource and was a life saver for us, during our baby’s weeks 4-8. A few things stood out: - Instantly I knew we were in good hands- she is calm and composed, and I can tell she has infinite patience. I knew I didn’t have to worry about her losing her patience or anything, no matter how fussy my baby was. - She’s a great listener. I appreciated how we would start every overnight shift with any questions I had and reviewing my day. Oftentimes I would mention something in passing, and then she would come back the next day, with a few suggestions or follow up questions - I appreciate her feedback and suggestions! I can tell she was genuinely interested in helping improve my own well being post partum, from things like encouraging me to figure out the baby carrier to teaching me how to wean contact naps. - I appreciate how she was very supportive and non judgmental. I can tell she was very mindful of the parents’ boundaries and not wanting to come off as if there was only one right way to do things Sharonda is amazing and any family would be so lucky to have her!

Finding someone you can trust with your whole heart during the vulnerable postpartum period is rare. Sharonda has been that person and more. Her warmth and wisdom created a sanctuary during those challenging early days. After an unplanned c-section, her hug was a lifeline. And her intuitive understanding of our needs as new parents, coupled with her expertise in newborn care, made all the difference. She has offered us a fountain of knowledge, guiding us through breastfeeding, baby care, and postpartum health issues and sharing helpful resources with us. Her ability to soothe our baby was nothing short of magical. Our baby adores her. We felt complete peace of mind leaving our little one in her care. And the extra sleep we were able to get helped us to show up better as parents. It’s difficult to accurately express our gratitude in words. We’ve been truly lucky to have found such an extraordinary caregiver in Sharonda. Our family - including our pets 🙂 - is going to miss her regular presence, but we know that she’ll always have a special place in our lives and our hearts.

The care and attention we received from Hearts and Hands Doula was incredible. As new parents, we felt supported every step of the way. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

The overnight support made such a difference for our family. We were able to rest and recover while knowing our baby was in capable and caring hands.
