about me
Hi, I'm Stella! For the past 5 years, I’ve had the honour of supporting children and families through all stages of early childhood in Greater Victoria, BC. Over time, I’ve found a deep passion for stepping in during times of transition, such as welcoming a new baby, navigating postpartum life, or simply needing short-term support.
​
I now focus on temporary (short-term) nannying and postpartum/newborn care. I offer flexible support tailored to each family’s unique needs. I take a warm, responsive approach grounded in attachment theory, Waldorf philosophy, and responsive child-rearing. I bring a calm, grounded presence into the home and create nurturing environments for little ones to thrive. When working with newborns, I support not just the baby, but the whole family. I am not only a postpartum doula, I am also a newborn care specialist and Early Childhood Educator! With this training, I am equipped to both support parents in transition AND offer guidance, practical solutions, and answers to all your newborn specific questions.
​
Whether you need support after birth, care while you're gone on a kid-free trip, or an experienced caregiver to jump in during a busy season, I’m here to help.
