Doula Support & Night Nanny in Windsor
Support for birth and the postnatal period from an experienced doula
I frequently visit the cafes and restaurants along St. Leonards Road in Windsor, Misugo & Millars are favourites, as I live only a few miles away in Maidenhead. I still miss the German Bakery though! Professionally, I have supported many couples in Windsor and surrounding areas as a Birth Doula, Postnatal Doula and Night Nanny. If you are planning for your birth experience or looking for support once your baby is here, I can support you.
Why Work With Cara
Ahead of birth, you maybe building a vision of how you would like your birth experience to look, of how you’d like to feel as you welcome your baby. You need to know that your birth preferences will be represented in the birth room, that your voice will be heard. Potentially, you’ve had a difficult past birth experience, one you don’t want repeated. As you navigate your pathway to birth, you and your partner have had thoughts of needing another layer of support.
Once your baby is born, I offer support which promotes your recovery, creates time for you to rest, answers your questions, navigates difficulties with you, listens to your experience, takes care of household tasks and feeds you. Resulting in you soaking-up your baby, staying in synergy with your partner, maintaining a balance to your home and feeling confident in recognising your baby’s needs.
If working with me you’ll feel listened to, understood and supported. You’ll find me reliable, friendly, responsive and straightforward. The support will be unobtrusive: gentle guidance, words of encouragement, making sure you have eaten or an offer of a helping hand. I’ll both follow your requests and use my initiative. My clients testimonials say it best, Birth Testimonials and Postnatal Testimonials.
MY SERVICES
BIRTH DOULA
Birth your baby knowing you will be truly supported throughout your birth experience. In preparation for birth, you’ll access and develop your birthing ethos to inform choices pregnancy & birth may present to you. During birth I'll be tuned into both you and your partner, to provide emotional and practical support, a continuous friendly presence.
POSTNATAL DOULA
As you get to know your baby, I offer guidance, empathy, encouragement and an extra pair of hands. I care you, your family and your home with a reassuring, kind presence. I provide support to ease your pathway through the love-fulled months after birth, a time of connection, recovery and finding a new rhythm.
NIGHT NANNY
I provide compassionate, responsive, overnight care for your newborn baby while you sleep. Infant care to include feeding, changing, winding, settling & cuddling. Support intended to restore your energy levels and aid your healing journey. My approach is one of compassion, my aim is to care for your baby, as you would. I work with clients who are breastfeeding, bottle-feeding and a combination of the two. Find out more about my Night Nanny Services.
ABOUT CARA JORDAN
Motherhood wakened my questioning mind, which set me on a beautiful journey, in 2018 I became a Birth & Postnatal doula. I support families across West London, Maidenhead, Reading and surrounding areas.
For millennia, humans have lived in close communities with extended family and neighbours. In these communities we would have heard, seen and even supported birth before our own birth experience. Similarly in caring for infants, we would have seen people caring for babies in close proximity, spent time with babies and cared for them before having our own. Increasingly over the last 100 years, we live in a nuclear family structure, with less chance of gaining lived experience, acquiring skills and the support that is afforded by a close community. This can be felt quite acutely when we start our own families. I see the role of a Doula and Night Nanny as easing this lost experience and community.
Her kindness and intuition brought me so much comfort and strength- Windsor, Berkshire
“Cara was a real lifeline during one of the toughest, loneliest times in my life. She stepped into our world with such warmth & treated our son as if he were her own. She made me feel completely safe and supported. I trusted her implicitly—she always seemed to know exactly what I needed or what my son needed, often without me saying a word.
When she came, I used to joke that a fairy had visited. I had a spotless home, a perfectly calm baby, and everything perfectly in order. Whether it was cooking a tasty, nutritious breakfast for me, putting together a playpen, prepping baby meals when my son was a little older, she was a steady, comforting presence in the chaos of new motherhood, there was nothing she couldn’t do!
Her kindness and intuition brought me so much comfort and strength during those early days. She gave me the space to rest and recover & I will be forever be grateful for the care, love and peace she gave me, my son and partner when we needed it most. Thank you Cara.”
