Cherish Peacewalker

Houston, TX

5 reviews • 1051 families supported • 15 years experience

Blessings Beautiful Birthing Sovereigns, My name is Cherish Peacewalker and I have been assisting families and single birthers for over 15 years now. I started off as a Licensed Massage Therapist in Houston, Tx and shortly after became a Certified Doula through Memorial Hermann Hospital. After my sister asked me to massage her during her labor process, I knew this was what I was meant to do. The miracle that I saw that day changed my life forever. About 5 years later I moved to the Bay Area, California where I got Certified again in Massage as well as becoming a Birth and Postpartum Doula at Cornerstone Doula Trainings in San Francisco. They specialize in working with the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities and this was something that was also very important to me. Since then I have studied and worked with indigenous elders from many different backgrounds including India, Native American Elders, Mexico, Asia and more. It is important to me to meet people where they are and respect all walks of life because no two people are made the same, just like each of these beautiful babies. I offer Full Spectrum Doula care from start to finish with packages that include but are not limited to; Massage, Birth & Postpartum Doula, In Home Support, Belly & Bone Binding, Yoni Steaming, Holistic Pelvic Care, Birth Prep Coaching and Classes. I would be happy to set up a FREE consultation and send you a FREE e-book to help you get on your way and make the best decision for one of the most important times in your life. You deserve to be seen, heard and experienced with compassion and care.

Care philosophy

I believe a peaceful and powerful birth is possible for every birthing person and it starts on the inside, literally and figuratively. As a Somatic Birth Worker and Touch Therapist I've learned that birthing does start from within and it's all about unwinding the trauma that's been repressed BEFORE we give birth. When we feel supported, held and heard we have the power & potential to do anything!

    My birthing experience would never have been the same without Cherish. Cherish coached me throughout pregnancy and Even prepared healthy recipes that prepared me for labor. My delivery was scheduled during the height of the pandemic and Thanks to her doula license, she was able to bring her support into the delivery room at a time when only 2 family members were allowed. Because of suspected complications, we decided to birth in the hospital. She created the mood in the room with plants and calming music that made me feel like I was out in nature. Her post partum support was more vital than I could have imagined. At the time she offered belly binding and postpartum meals. My beautiful son deserved nothing less. I am forever grateful for Cherish being my doula.

I am a holistic Postpartum Doula and Certified Lactation Counselor serving Houston, TX and surrounding areas. My passion for birth work grew tenfold after my own at home birthing experience with an amazing doula and midwife at my side. I was truly grateful for their guidance and the love they showed me as I brought my baby boy into the world. I love supporting the mother (and family) through the momentous transition that a birth and newborn brings. I provide postpartum doula support at an hourly rate. I offer lactation support, overnight care, meals, belly bonding, yoni steams and complete household errands. Each mother is different so every postpartum shift looks different for my clients. I also provide in home and virtual lactation support at an hourly rate. These are one on one sessions where we can learn and trouble shoot your breastfeeding issues together!

Care philosophy

I believe all birthing people deserve quality care and a helpful village that cares for them so they can care for baby. As your doula my goal is to provide holistic, individualized and evidence-based support during your postpartum and breastfeeding journey.

    Childbirth, breastfeeding and rest have never been associated together until Totiana. I am a mom of three and my first pregnancy and postpartum experience was traumatic but the second two were not. She taught me the basics of breastfeeding, eating healthy and self-care. She gave me and my babies a love and bond we’ll forever share.

My name is Jaci (pronounced Jackie), and I started my doula journey back in 2020. Birth has always fascinated me, so when I jumped in head first it felt like a whole new world of knowledge opened up! I learned so much about the body and how it responds during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. The different stages babies go through in their development and how to help families feel confident in their day to day lives! What started out as a fascination quickly became a career I love and a passion I get to pursue on a daily basis.

Care philosophy

I believe that everyone should have the birth they desire, whatever that might look like. I come alongside of families and help answer any questions they might have, but ultimately give them non-judgmental support. Too many providers forget that this is your baby, and we are here to support your decisions. Selah is Hebrew for a musical pause, rest, or breath. How can I help you breathe?

    Cynthia was an incredible assest to my daughter and I from day one of her pregnancy! The information she provided throughout was invaluable. Although I had experienced a high risk pregnancy 28 years earlier, I was at a loss when my daughter started experiencing symptoms of what was later diagnosed as cholestasis. The calm and comfort she provided helped both of us stay focused.After my grandson was born, she helped us recognize postpartum symptoms which allowed my daughter the ability to heal in a supportive environment! I don’t know what we would have done without her and I will forever be grateful!

My name is Julie. I am a mom to a beautiful 13 yr. old girl and a 18 mo. old black lab. I am also a Newborn Care Specialist, Lactation Educator, and an aspiring Postpartum Doula. My hobbies are spending time with my family and friends, along with reading and walking our pup. I have just began to pursue my love for photography, and would love the chance to take more pictures for the families I serve. My interest in babies really began when I was a preteen. My mom was a teacher and I began babysitting for her co-workers. This steam-rolled into referrals and more and more experience. I began working at a local daycare in the infant room and then pursued one on one care as a nanny to 18mos old twins. The next several years led to even more newborn nanny families and this opened up doors to specialized trainings. I've trained in sleep conditioning, newborn care, twins and multiple care, and even lactation education. I love learning, and I hope to have even more trainings and certifications under my belt in the near future. The families I have served throughout the years have given me the chance to gain the experiences I desire to take on even more challenges, and I know will be a great asset in the all my future families.

Care philosophy

My philosophy is care. I absolutely love what I do for the families I serve, and I believe empathy, compassion and most of all education are what families need most. A new baby brings joy and excitement, but also worry and self-doubt. Whether families are newbies or seasoned I am a form of constant support bringing with me care and compassion during this new life transition.

    Ashley assisted us through postpartum care when we adopted our daughter at birth. From the time she was born and over the 6 weeks Ashley was with us, I could not ask for a more caring, loving, willing to do whatever you need person. She allowed me to get some sleep, she prepped meals, she helped me schedule appointments and attended them with us. You are in good hands with Ashley. She never stops learning. One in a million.

Those who know me say that my strong desire to provide families with the necessary education, support, and evidence-based knowledge when they desire it most is quickly noticed and my warm-approach in doing so is always appreciated. I like to think that my life work encompasses the best of several worlds; When I’m not serving clients as a Postpartum and Infant Care Doula, you can find me either educating families within my Certified Family Life Educator role or positively impacting lives within my profession as a Social Worker at a local foster care/adoption agency. I enjoy working with parents of all ages, both first-time and seasoned parents, families of different racial/ethnic backgrounds, of varying cultural beliefs, and diverse family structures. And though I have worked with children of all ages, the newborn and infancy period remain my specialty. Get to know me and you will find that I have an extensive history of experience and training specifically relating to the 4th trimester (the first three months of baby and mommy’s postpartum life).

Care philosophy

I like to think my role as a Postpartum Doula is a luxury support service, assisting families through the first few days, weeks, or months of life after baby. This looks very different for every family that I work with but always includes, emotional, physical, and evidence-based informational support while paying special attention to the mother and providing exceptional care for baby.

Night Nanny Services: FAQs

A night nanny is a trained professional that specializes in newborn care. They are known as “night nannies” because they arrive at night and offer their nannying services until the morning.

Night nannies are also known as newborn care specialists, which is often abbreviated as “NCS.” A night nanny usually works with new parents for 8-12 weeks after the baby is born. Night nannies are often also called “night nurses.”

It can be incredibly exhausting to sleep train new babies, and a night nanny is expected to sleep train babies. Night nannies can also educate and inform new parents on the best way to feed, bathe, sleep train, and swaddle their children. They are generally available for 8-12 hours during the night and provide nanny services during this time.

Many professional parents often hire overnight nannies in Houston, TX because they may work long hours. It might be extremely difficult for these parents to get enough sleep to remain productive, and a night nanny can help them begin sleeping properly. Meela can help you connect with a night nanny in Houston, TX today.

To find a night nanny in Houston, TX, most parents recommend creating a job post on Meela and having uniquely qualified night nannies near you (in your budget) reach out to you through the Meela app.

We recommend reaching out to and interviewing at least three overnight nannies before hiring a night nanny near you. After interviewing, hire the most qualified overnight nanny near you and start getting the care you deserve.

The cost of a night nanny can vary based on a variety of factors, including their experience, their services, and their skills or specializations. Overall, the average cost of a night nanny in Houston, TX is $25-40 per hour.

It should be noted that the price of a night nanny in Houston, TX will likely increase if the night nanny is contracted to deal with twins or multiple children. Also, a night nanny’s cost may depend on their level of education, the needs of the newborn, or their exact responsibilities for specific clients.

There are some situations in which your insurance company will help you cover the costs of childcare, and this can obviously help those parents that want their baby’s needs met but might not be as financially secure. Unfortunately, a night nanny usually isn’t covered by insurance.

However, there are some cases where a night nanny is covered by insurance. For example, if your child health issues, parents may want to check to see whether their night nanny costs can be covered by their insurance company since their role is more directly related to your child’s health.

There are many situations in which parents might consider a night nanny in Houston, TX. First, both parents might be working long hours, which means that neither of them have the time to actually bathe/feed/swaddle the child when necessary. Some parents might already rely on friends and family, but realize that they require more help when it comes to their children.

A night nanny is also often most necessary in situations where there are twins or triplets. These parents simply may need extra help to care for these children night after night, and night nannies can help take over some of the workload. For first-time parents, for example, having to care for multiple children for the first time can be overwhelming and stressful. Other parents might also be dealing with mental health issues or postpartum depression.

A night nanny is expected to care for the baby as the parent would if they were awake. Night nannies wash baby bottles, prepare feeds, sterilize pump equipment, and more. Overnight nannies also bathe, feed, diaper, and swaddle the baby, as well. A night nanny can also provide care in situations where the mother might be recovering from a C-section, for example.

In many cases, the process is simple: a parent often hands off their baby to their night nanny so that they can get some much-needed sleep. The night nanny remains at the household until the parent(s) wake up, and then night nannies leave once the parents can take over child care duties.

Every family’s needs are different, but night nannies are expected to burp the baby, bathe the baby, prepare formula, and provide other nanny duties. In summary, overnight nannies in Houston, TX are expected to keep the baby fed, comfortable, clean, rested, and dry.

However, night nannies are not expected to complete household chores that are unrelated to baby care. It’s also important to note that a night nanny in Houston, TX will obviously need to get their rest, as well – so bedding must be provided. A night nanny typically sleeps once the baby is already resting and their nanny chores are complete.

A night nanny can often help parents with emotional support or provide extra help for a sick child. An overnight nanny in Houston, TX can help reduce stress and anxiety for many new parents who might have issues with their work-life balance.

One of the most obvious differentiators in the world of night nannies in Houston, TX is the fact that a night nanny might have specific experience with children of a specific age. Some night nannies might have certifications such as nursing certifications or sleep certifications. Many night nannies are often involved for the first six weeks of childbirth, and some of them remain with parents for months.

For example, some night nannies might have specialized skills for children aged 1-2, while others may be more experienced with children aged 3-4. Obviously, the responsibilities of these night nannies in Houston, TX differ depending on the age of the children that they are supervising.

Some night nannies might be CPR-certified or first-aid certified, which can give more peace of mind to parents who might be concerned about potential sleep or breathing issues. Other overnight nannies might specialize in newborns that have colic or reflux issues, as well.

There are some overnight nannies in Houston, TX that might be open to caring for your child while you are traveling out of town, while other nannies might not be available for that amount of time. There is no certification required to become a night nanny in Houston, TX. However, some night nannies choose to become newborn care specialists, and undergo NCS training.

There are some families that try to compare the concept of a “night nanny” to an “overnight babysitter.” The main difference here involves the level of commitment that a night nanny has to a newborn, versus a babysitter that may only have to provide minimal care to a newborn or child.

A babysitter is often not responsible for actually creating/fixing meals for newborns, washing their baby bottles, or doing their laundry. While a babysitter might monitor a newborn or make sure that they are safe – a nanny might spend time soothing a newborn, swaddling them, or taking care of their meals and clothes. A nanny has more obligations than a babysitter, and are considered more of an “extension” of the parents.
