Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care Specialist in Potomac, MD area

HELPING YOU SUCCESSFULLY NAVIGATE POSTPARTUM AND WHAT COMES NEXT

Pregnancy is a beautiful time – and you probably have many questions running through your mind every day, whether this is your first or fifth pregnancy. You may need our Newborn Care Specialist to help you with baby related care at night or our Postpartum Doula for baby care and family care day or night.


A Postpartum Doula (PPD) is the caregiver who walks you through your questions and emotions, mainly during the day, and provides community resource help, care for you, your partner, the baby(s), and more. No matter what your birth and postpartum experience looked like, a PPD provides physical and emotional support, making sure you are empowered to handle what comes next!


A Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) also provides physical and emotional support and is the caregiver who mainly cares for your baby(s) overnight while your family SLEEPS and helps you with nursing needs, and recovery, as well as education and demonstrations of baby care.

Meet Your Potomac, MD areas Postpartum Doula & Newborn Care Specialist!

Cheryl Conley, aka CC!


Hello! I was born and raised in Montana and have lived in multiple states since. I had 4 pregnancies, but 2 are not with me anymore. I have 2 daughters and a teenage grandson, and live in beautiful Maryland now. I was paid to babysit alone at the young age of 12 and haven’t stopped yet! I taught K-8 Special Education in Missouri for 5 years before coming to Maryland.


My love and joy for teaching and caring for kids is growing stronger, and my niche, now, is mostly with newborn to 1-year-olds. At times, I care for children of all ages.


I came to MD to care for my grandson in 2012 and have cared for babies overnight since 2013. I have benefited many families as an Advanced Newborn Care Specialist in the DMV (DC, MD, and No. VA). I also became a Certified Postpartum Doula (CPD) in 2026.


My passion and purpose is to help YOU and your growing family successfully welcome and nurture your new family member(s), while keeping your sanity and joy!!!!           


                                        Let’s become a team for your baby(s)!!
