About Ruama
Experience: 10 yrs
Hi! If you're feeling exhausted and just want a good night's sleep, I'm here to help. I'm a CACHE-certified Newborn Care Specialist, certified Postpartum Doula, and Sleep Consultant with over 10 years of childcare experience, specializing in newborn and infant care. I provide overnight newborn care so you can get the rest you need while knowing your baby is in experienced hands. I handle feedings, diaper changes, soothing, settling, and overnight routines while gently supporting healthy sleep foundations as your baby grows. My experience includes caring for premature newborns, twins, and families navigating those first weeks at home. I understand that every baby and family is different, so my approach is calm, flexible, and centered around what works best for your family. CPR, First Aid & AED certified through the American Red Cross. Fluent in English and Portuguese. I'd love to connect and learn how I can support your family.

Seriously the best thing to happen to us beyond the birth of our child was hiring Ruama. This is an understatement, she is truly amazing at her craft. She started overnight with us when our son was just a few days old, I highly recommend starting her early. Not only is she fabulous with our son - patient, caring, nurturing, but she taught us so much about parenthood, including getting him on a good routine in a way that worked for him, how to set up the right environment for sleep, developmental milestones to be mindful of, etc. He is practically sleeping through the night at 9 weeks thanks solely to her. She is also very educated in all things newborn / early childhood development, with a great dose of flexibility and meeting our son where he was. She is vocal about when the next milestones are coming and what to do next. She knows the science and is a resource beyond compare. Highly recommend her to any family for newborn / infant care. Dependable, reliable, punctual, knowledgeable.
