Martha was truly one of the best decisions we made as first-time parents. She was with us from our very first night home through six weeks, providing overnight newborn care and giving my wife and me the peace of mind and rest we desperately needed. I had a C-section, and my recovery would have been much more difficult without Martha's help. She cared for our newborn overnight so my wife could actually sleep between taking care of the baby and supporting me during my recovery. That rest made a huge difference for our journey as parents. We entered this new phase of life more rested, more confident and overall more able to enjoy our newborn bubble. Martha is incredibly warm, professional, knowledgeable, and wonderful to have in your home. As a first-time mom, I had endless questions every night, and being able to ask someone with years of expertise who already knew our baby was invaluable. She provided personalized guidance based on our baby's individual baseline--something you simply can't get from Reddit, Google, or even a doctor who hasn't spent that same time getting to know your baby. She helped answer ours various with feeding, (is that enough, is that too much?) the type of bottles and formula that would be best for her, diaper rash, the umbilical cord, soothing, sleep, and all the little questions that come up with a newborn. She always made us feel more confident and reassured. Her newborn and sleep-shaping set up is another huge benefit. Our baby sleeps pretty gooood (not to brag) and I fully credit Martha for that. Our baby was sleeping 4/5 stretches from like 3 weeks on and has hit 5/6 consistently since. & it's not cry-it out, its gentle routine. She helped us establish routines that worked for our family and gave us structure during the day and night. Having Martha with us from night one was genuinely life-changing. She is funny, sweet, dependable, and truly cares about the families she works with. We will absolutely seek her out for our second baby and cannot recommend her enough to any new parents considering overnight newborn care. read more

I can't say enough good things about Martha! We hired her four nights a week for my son's first six weeks, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Knowing it was a night she was scheduled to come brought such peace of mind. From the moment she walked through the door, she stepped into action, anticipating what needed to be done and making our lives so much easier. This is my second child, and the newborn period has been dramatically easier than it was with my first. Martha played a huge role in that. Not only did she provide exceptional overnight care, but she also helped us establish healthy sleep habits and develop a routine that fit our family. My son is now 3 months old and is an incredible sleeper, and I truly credit Martha with helping lay that foundation. Martha is kind, calm, dependable, punctual, and genuinely wonderful to work with. She gave us the confidence to enjoy those early weeks instead of just trying to survive them. If you're considering hiring Martha as a night doula, don't hesitate. You won't regret it! read more

Martha was an exceptional doula; we are so grateful for her care and support during our postpartum journey. She was always punctual, professional, and incredibly attentive. Whenever we had questions or needed guidance, she was there with thoughtful advice and reassurance. Knowing our baby was in Martha's care each night gave us tremendous peace of mind. She consistently arrived early, made sure everything was ready, and took wonderful care of our little one, allowing us to get the rest we needed. During the six weeks we worked together, Martha taught us so much--from bathing and newborn care to establishing healthy routines and building our confidence as new parents. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable, and dependable doula. read more

Having a newborn can be a very scary and stressful time, in the early stages of pregnancy we reached out to Martha to inquire about her doula services, we initially met over FaceTime and conducted an informal interview to gain better insight and information on what her doula services would entail. She also was quick to provide multiple references we could reach out to, if we had any concerns. We utilized the doula services for the first two weeks o f birth o f our newborn. Martha has been very kind with our newborn and answered our various questions, and worries as new parents. She provided us with a sense o f calmness knowing our newborn was in good hands, especially o n those nights we have been extremely tired and needed sleep and rest. I would highly recommend if you are a new parent t o reach out to Martha and inquire about her doula services, for a peace of mind and goodnights rest. read more

We highly recommend Martha Isario as a Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care Specialist. She took care of our infant daughter from November 2025 - January 2026. I contacted Martha because we were lacking sleep and structure for our newborn. She is extremely professional and takes her job seriously. She shows up on time, provides advice and took excellent care of our daughter. It takes a lot of faith to trust someone with your newborn, and Martha was the best. She helped shape my daughter's sleep schedule and taught us techniques to give a good night of sleep to both our baby and us. Without her, we could not have survived the newborn stage and with her, we were able to set ourselves up for success with our child. read more

Even as a second-time mom, I learned so much from her. What stood out most was how supportive and reassuring she was. On the nights Martha was with our baby, she seamlessly took over and I was able to truly rest. I never once worried about my baby while he was in Martha's care--which says so much, especially during those emotional and exhausting early postpartum weeks. Martha was kind, calm, confident, and incredibly attentive. She gave us not only excellent care for our son, but also the peace of mind and support we needed as new parents all over again.

Martha has worked with us since our baby girl was a few days old. As a newborn care specialist, she provided both day and night care for our little one, demonstrating unmatched professionalism, warmth, and punctuality.

Martha's expertise and nurturing presence made a world of difference and made being a first time mom and dad way less stressful.

Sweet Dreams Dbc - Martha and our baby - Doulas Near Me

We love Martha so much! We hired her thinking it would be helpful to get more rest on some nights, but she ended up being so much more than that for our family. She guided us through understanding our baby's cues, introducing a bottle, introducing formula, breastfeeding and weaning, developing healthy sleep habits, and more. If our baby had a rough night, she would even check in during the day. With her help, he's built up to sleeping through the night at 3.5 months. As other reviewers have mentioned, she is warm, kind, knowledgeable, always arrives on time, and leaves the nursery clean and fully stocked. We ended up extending our contract once we felt the impact of having her with us in this process. We will miss her, but she really has made us more confident parents! read more

To Whom It May Concern, It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of character and recommendation for Martha Isario, who has been our night doula since the day our son was born and has continued to support us for the past four months. As a first-time mother who welcomed my baby via surrogacy, I entered this new chapter of life with little firsthand experience and many questions. From the very beginning, Martha brought a calm, professional, and nurturing presence that made all the difference. She is exceptionally punctual and reliable, consistently arriving prepared to support not only my baby but also me during such a tender and transformative time. I initially contracted Martha for six weeks, but it quickly became clear how invaluable her presence was. That short-term arrangement has now turned into an ongoing relationship lasting over four months, and I can't imagine having navigated these first few months of motherhood without her. Martha's experience and intuition were immediately evident. She provided invaluable guidance and gentle care that helped both me and my baby settle into a healthy nighttime routine. Thanks to her consistent and thoughtful approach, my son is now sleeping nearly through the night and has acclimated beautifully to his sleep schedule-something I truly didn't expect to happen so smoothly. One of the most telling signs of Martha's warm and trustworthy nature is how my dog, Zelda, responded to her. Zelda is known for being cautious and slow to warm up to new people, but she adored Martha from the start. She even chose to sleep by Martha and the baby during those early nights, which was both surprising and incredibly comforting. Martha became such a trusted presence in our home that we felt completely at ease leaving her in charge during our first mini vacation. Knowing she was caring for our baby (and Zelda) gave us peace of mind and allowed us to fully enjoy those few days away. Martha is a rare and wonderful doula-professional, compassionate, trustworthy, and highly skilled. I recommend her wholeheartedly to any family in need of support during the newborn stage. We are forever grateful for the role she has played in our early journey into parenthood. Sincerely, Casey Benavides read more

There is not enough words to thank Martha for helping my daughter in her journey of being a first time mom. She is so knowledgeable and so caring. I truly cannot have asked for a better doula. I would recommend her to any mom to be. She taught my daughter so many good tips and tricks. Helped with her breastfeeding journey and so much more. Thank you Martha again for all that u did. read more

My husband and I decided to hire a doula to help with overnight support for our 1-month-old son, and we're so grateful we found Martha. Initially, we were just hoping to get a bit more sleep at night--but Martha went above and beyond that. She didn't just help him sleep longer during her shifts--she thoughtfully laid the foundation for healthy sleep habits by gently getting our son on a schedule and helping him learn how to sleep for longer stretches on his own. She also took the time to teach both my husband and me so many valuable tips--like how to swaddle properly, effective soothing and patting techniques, how to introduce a pacifier, and how to create a consistent daytime routine to promote better sleep at night. Beyond being amazing with our son, Martha was incredibly helpful in keeping our space organized. She took care of laundry when clothes were soiled, made sure bottles were always clean, and even helped organize our baby dresser and diaper cart. Her calm presence, attentiveness, and support made a huge difference during those early, exhausting weeks. And as a bonus, our two dogs absolutely love her as well and are always excited to see her whenever she comes over to help. My husband and I can't recommend her enough! read more

Martha was amazing! We were lucky to have her for just one month during the beginning of our baby's life. She calmed me as a new mother a reassured all my baby's needs.

Truly an amazing experience, I recommend her to anyone read more

Martha is amazing!! I cannot speak more highly of her. We hired her to help us at night with our new baby after hearing glowing reviews from other families that have worked with her. She is so warm and knowledgable about newborn care we instantly felt so comfortable having her care for our baby girl. She is very professional with excellent communication, and was checking in with us before baby's arrival. She is punctual, clean, and organized and I often would wake to find the nursery in much better condition than I left it. She has also been helpful in answering my newborn and breastfeeding questions which has been such a relief to get help from an expert who does this everyday. I only wish I had found her sooner and used her for my first baby - this newborn period is truly a breeze thanks to her! read more

I highly recommend Martha for newborn/baby care. I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience working with her. Martha is professional, knowledgeable, reliable, caring, gentle, and all around wonderful. Taking care of newborns is challenging, intimate work, and after working with Martha for a few hours, I fully trusted her to take great care of our 6-week old. We worked with Martha during the day to help us take care of our 6-week old. She was very caring, gentle, and proactive in helping us figure out the routines and needs of the baby. She fit in very comfortably in our family and in our space. It was a pleasure to have her with us. We are not based in the LA area, but I hope to work with her again when we are in town. read more
