Leyla Soto

I am a happily married mother of two beautiful kids.  My daughter is 4 and my son is three years old. I enjoy working with newborns and children and have helped families take care of their young children for over 15 years.  I have experience in providing professional childcare and parenting education.  In my professional experience I have been entrusted to care for toddlers, children, infants and/or counsel new parents in their transition to parenthood.

I am an experienced doula and childcare provider, a mother who loves children and has an excellent rapport with them.  I am a birth and postpartum doula and I provide physical, emotional support to expecting moms and their family before, during, and after childbirth.  My clients are often first time parents who are focused on creating a healthy, caring, and safe environment for their new baby. I also support many families who already have one or more children, and may need support integrating siblings with the new baby.

As a professional I keep current on perinatal support and I am an active member of DONA International and the Childbirth & Postpartum Professional Association (CAPPA) organizations. I would love the opportunity to be part of your journey into parenthood to provide you a good environment, peacefulness, and a little piece of mind.

Supporting a mom in her transition to motherhood as she recovers from her birth, creating a support network and integrating baby into first time parents’ lives, counseling mom and dad on sleep deprivation, separation issues, nursery organization, and newborn care, are all part of my role.

​

I am here to coach you from labor to delivery.  My emphasis is to give mom ample time to rest, recover, and bond with new baby.  Services include breastfeeding support and make intimate connection with baby.

I guide and reassure parents to gain confidence in parenting skills and facilitating rest for mom so she can heal.
