Post Partum Doula
With 31 years of experience as a Neonatal ICU Registered Nurse, I have dedicated my career to providing exceptional care to premature and term newborns in the hospital setting. In addition to my NICU experience, I have worked closely with families, offering compassionate support in managing the unique needs of newborns transitioning from hospital care to home environments.
My commitment to the well-being of all infants and their families drives my passion for parent education and assistance in the home setting. I am so excited for the opportunity to be a member of Michelle’s team with Newborn and Nanny Professionals.
Meet Marissa Sims
Post Partum Doula
I am a compassionate pediatric/neonatal respiratory therapist who found her true calling as a birth and postpartum Doula!
My years of experience attending cesarean sections and high-risk deliveries in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) have provided me with a unique perspective on the challenges and joys of welcoming a new life.
I believe in empowering mothers with the education, support, and care they need to have a positive birth experience. My approach is centered on creating a calming and nurturing environment, where both the emotional and physical needs of the mother and baby are prioritized. Whether I'm guiding a family through the birthing process or offering essential postpartum care, my goal is to ensure that every family feels supported and cared for.
My dual role as a respiratory therapist and doula allows me to offer a holistic approach to care, blending medical knowledge with the nurturing support that is so vital during childbirth and the postpartum period. I am passionate about helping families navigate this transformative time with confidence, compassion, and peace of mind.
