About me

Hello! My name is Vania, and I am a Certified Postpartum Doula specializing in overnight newborn care. Based in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, I provide compassionate overnight support to families throughout the Greater Philadelphia area, including Philadelphia and its suburbs, as well as Central and Northern New Jersey. I am available to travel within a 90 minute radius and am currently accepting Fall 2026 clients. I am DONA trained, ProDoula certified, hold a Bachelor's degree in Social Work from Brazil, and am currently pursuing my nursing education. Since 2013, I have worked closely with newborns, infants, and families as a professional newborn nanny and postpartum professional, gaining extensive experience in newborn care, feeding support, infant development, and family adjustment. I have a deep passion for supporting families and caring for babies. For me, this work is more than a profession; it is truly fulfilling. I enjoy understanding each family's unique emotions, challenges, and needs, and helping parents find their rhythm so they can have more peaceful days and restful nights. As a postpartum doula, I provide compassionate, evidence informed support tailored to each family's unique needs. I have experience supporting families with newborns, twins, premature infants, NICU graduates, and unique family dynamics, including surrogate siblings born one month apart. My goal is to help parents feel confident, supported, and well rested as they adjust to life with a new baby. Caring for both babies and parents is a true calling for me. I love providing the support, reassurance, and guidance that helps moms and dads feel confident, relaxed, and cared for during the postpartum journey. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a family feel supported, rested, and confident as they settle into their new routine.

With a background in Social Work, over a decade of experience supporting newborns and families, postpartum doula training, and ongoing nursing education, I offer evidence-informed, family-centered care tailored to each family's unique needs. I have experience supporting families with newborns, twins, premature infants, and NICU graduates through both daytime and overnight care.

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!

I highly recommend Vania if you are looking for a doula for your family. She was a caring, kind, compassionate person to help us with our newborn baby girl. Vania was also helpful with tips for feeding if I needed any. She was also wonderful with helping us out with our dishes and cleaning our daughter’s bottles while we slept. Vania also did a nice job folding our laundry if I left any out when she was starting a shift. I am very grateful my husband and I had her as a doula for our newborn baby girl.
