Your New Mom Friend, Jeanette…
Hi, I’m Jeanette — the heart behind Heart & Home Postpartum Support.
My journey began years ago, when I started nannying for my niece after my sister-in-law went back to work. My bond with my niece was, and still is, beautiful and I have enjoyed every moment spent with her. Nine years later, I welcomed my own daughter into the world and it was then that I realized that, as an auntie, I had only scratched the surface of what motherhood truly means.
Becoming a mom has opened my eyes to both the joys and challenges of the postpartum season. I experienced the overwhelming love of gazing into my newborn’s eyes… and also the loneliness, exhaustion, and constant demands that no one can truly prepare you for.
Alongside my personal journey, I’m also a registered nurse, certified in Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS). I’m currently gaining experience on a medical-surgical unit, as I work toward my dream of becoming a labor and delivery nurse. No matter the role, one truth has always been clear to me; I have a fierce passion for supporting and caring for other amazing women, especially mothers and their precious new arrivals.
That’s why I created Heart & Home Postpartum Support. My mission is simple; to help lighten the heavy moments of early motherhood so you can fully embrace the sweet ones. Whether it’s a nap while I hold the baby, a warm, comforting meal, or simply someone to listen while you vent… I’m here to support you, friend-to-friend, with both compassion and care.
Because every mom deserves to feel cared for, supported and uplifted during one of life’s most fleeting seasons…
What does a postpartum
doula do-la?
Emotional Support & Companionship
A postpartum doula provides emotional support and companionship by listening with empathy, offering reassurance, and holding space for the range of feelings that come with new motherhood. She is a steady, nonjudgmental presence who validates a mother’s experiences and reminds her she is not alone. Through encouragement and genuine connection, the doula helps ease isolation and uplifts the mother’s spirit during this tender transition.
Maternal Recovery Support
A postpartum doula provides gentle, hands-on support for a mother’s physical recovery after birth by encouraging rest, nourishing her with wholesome meals, and helping create a calm, healing environment. She offers guidance on comfort measures, postpartum body care, and helping with daily tasks so mom can focus on recovery. By reducing stress and lightening the load at home, the doula helps strengthen the mother’s energy, resilience, and overall well-being.
Hands-On Newborn Care
A postpartum doula offers hands-on newborn care by guiding parents through feeding, soothing, diapering, and bathing their baby with confidence. She models practical techniques, answers questions without judgement, and creates a nurturing environment where parents feel supported as they learn their baby’s unique cues. This kind of care not only eases daily routines but also empowers parents to trust their instincts and enjoy bonding with their little one.
Light Housekeeping & Practical Care
A postpartum doula supports families with light housekeeping and practical care by tending to everyday tasks such as laundry, dishes, meal prep, and tidying up the home. By taking care of these essentials, she helps create a calm, organized space where parents can focus on bonding and recovery. This practical support eases the household load and allows the family to feel more rested, nurtured, and cared for.
Nourishing Meals & Nutrition Support
A doula nurtures the mother’s healing and energy by preparing wholesome meals, offering gentle nutrition support and encouraging hydration. She focuses on foods that restore strength, encourage recovery, and sustain energy during long days and nights with a newborn. By ensuring the family is well-fed and hydrated, she helps create a foundation of health & wellness in the early postpartum weeks.
Empowering Guidance & Expertise
Doulas blend professional knowledge with compassionate support to help parents navigate feeding, sleep, newborn care, and recovery. With evidence-based insight, they are able to provide practical care while honoring each family’s unique needs and choices. This balance of skilled care and encouragement builds confidence, eases anxieties, and empowers parents to trust themselves as they grow into their new roles.

From One Mama
To Another
“I can’t say enough amazing things about Jeanette and the work she did for me when she started out as our nanny! She brought such a perfect balance of compassion and knowledge to our family. As a nurse and a mom herself now, she gets it… the emotions, the exhaustion, and the need to feel supported during those early days.
What makes her so special is how she meets you where you are, and understands what you’re going through. If you’re a new or expecting mom, having Jeanette by your side is the kind of gift you’ll never forget. She doesn’t just help, she empowers!”

“Jeanette was such a light during my early postpartum, a total god send. We managed to get out the house for baby’s first appt, and she delivered a lovely, yummy dinner and cookies for us to take the weight off of our shoulders during this adjustment phase.
She has no idea how much this truly meant to my family and I. She even made another batch of cookies during my maternity leave, & I swear her cookies helped my milk supply. She was also there for me for all my breastfeeding questions as I was worried about going back to work affecting my supply.
I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Jeanette since nursing school & can truly say this is her calling. She is someone any mom needs in their corner. Motherhood is tough, let her help make it easier.
She was a lifesaver during my early postpartum days, providing emotional support, delicious meals, and valuable breastfeeding advice. Her kindness and expertise made a significant difference in my journey, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to any new mom.”
