Hi families! I'm Marlene, a career nanny and postpartum doula with over 14 years of experience supporting children and parents both day and night. My background includes teaching at a kindergarten language school, full time nannying, overnight newborn care, postpartum support, and working as an international au pair. I specialize in newborn and infant care, offering support with feeding, gentle sleep routines, and postpartum recovery, while also creating fun and developmentally appropriate activities for toddlers. I bring a calm, respectful, and child led approach to care. I am CPR and First Aid certified, fully up to date on vaccines, and currently completing my Holistic Infant Sleep Certification. *Please note that any babysitting rates shown on this platform do not reflect my overnight newborn care and postpartum doula work, which are specialized and offered at different rates* I would love the chance to connect and support your family during this special time.
We had such a wonderful experience working with Marlene as our overnight doula. She supported us during those challenging newborn nights with so much care, professionalism, and warmth. She has a calming presence, is incredibly knowledgeable, and we always felt our little one was in the best hands. Thanks to Marlene, we were able to get the rest we desperately needed and truly felt supported during such a tender time. I can’t recommend her enough!
