Stories remembered
years later
Rest was part of it. Feeling supported was the bigger story.
Families first contacted us for different reasons: sleep, newborn care, feeding support, recovery time or simply another calm and capable person in the house. Their stories show what that support looked like in real life.
Angelina came to my home on a last-minute call four days postpartum. I had been debating getting a doula postpartum to help navigate the unknowns as a first-time mom. Not only did I get extra sleep, but Angelina also provided encouragement and so much information on what to expect from my newborn, giving me huge peace of mind. She was kind and confident and so good with my baby. I could not recommend her enough!

If I could put 10 stars I would! I highly recommend Natasa as a doula. She was our night doula for both of our daughters, who are 18 months apart. She was always early for her shift, professional and very reliable. She is very knowledgeable and not only very attentive to babies but also to mom.

We cannot thank Angelina enough for the massive difference she made in our lives as new parents. She is a human encyclopedia for all things baby-related, guiding us through sleep routines, nursing challenges, and serving as a wonderful sounding board for our concerns. Angelina strikes the perfect balance between listening to our needs, sharing her expert opinion, and collaborating on the best solutions. We highly recommend working with her!

What families describe again and again
Families often contacted us because they needed sleep or newborn care. What they remember also includes the confidence, perspective and steadiness that came with it.
Real rest
Someone trusted could take over while the parents genuinely switched off.
Practical guidance
Questions were answered without making anyone feel judged or incapable.
Calmer routines
Feeding, sleep and daily handovers became easier to understand and manage.
Whole-family support
Care adjusted to the baby, parents, siblings and realities of that particular household.
Different families. Different needs. Real relief.
Support looked different in every home because every family started in a different place.
We were lucky to have Angelina support us after the birth of our second daughter. Angelina was supportive, kind and informative. She ended up being more than just postpartum support, but also an advocate for self care, mental health and effectively cared for our whole family. We were super grateful and would recommend her in a heartbeat.

Ange was an absolute life saver! We hired her after our daughter was born as an overnight doula. I had a difficult delivery and recovery, and none of us were sleeping well. Ange was kind, supportive and helped us get into a better routine. She also gave us good advice. We’d highly recommend her to anyone!
Beth E.
Ange was a wonderful nighttime doula for my daughter from birth until several months old. Not only did my daughter love her, but she provided so much wisdom, guidance and perspective to me as a new mom trying to figure it all out. Highly recommend Ange!

When we brought Natasa on board, we were both sleep deprived, overwhelmed and unsure how best to manage twins. From her first visit, Natasa stepped in with confidence and care. She helped streamline feeding and create a more manageable sleep routine. Her knowledge of newborn care is exceptional, and she relates to babies in a way that puts them at ease. She showed tremendous compassion for both our babies and us as parents. We would confidently recommend Natasa to anyone looking for postpartum support.
Jenny & Joel
Angelina was truly a godsend. She radiates warmth and competence, and I was instantly at ease leaving our daughter in her exceptionally capable hands. Our daughter became a great sleeper early on, and that’s largely thanks to Angelina. Her support meant everything in those first months.
Kathryn B.
As first-time parents, we were overwhelmed. Angelina immediately put us at ease with her positive and encouraging nature. She helped us feel confident, gave great advice on breastfeeding and sleep, and provided a calm, trusted presence each night. We truly couldn’t have done it without her.
Jessica & Josh
The newborn stage ended. The impact didn’t.
Years after receiving support, these families still remembered the rest, confidence and practical knowledge that stayed with them.
Having Natasa help us navigate through sleep schedules and feedings was life changing. I can say that our girls are now 11 and 12 and have been sleeping through the night since six months old. Thank you Natasa, we are forever grateful!
Melanie W.
You helped us so much with our twins, not only to get sleep, although that alone would have been worth the money, but also to navigate the adventure of becoming parents for the first time.
When we needed help again, you reminded us of what we had learned three years earlier. It made us better parents to all our kids because it’s so hard to function through sleep deprivation. You are a remarkably kind human and such a wealth of knowledge. We are so grateful for you.
