Hello! My Name Is Nicole Younts
Meet Nicole
Postpartum Day and Nightime Availibility
HI! I'm Nicole Younts. I'm a local Northern Virginian who has an absolute passion for new mothers and new babies. I became a doula back in 2017 after almost 8 years of being a long term nanny to a few wonderful families. Supporting families is all I've ever known in my career, and logically for me, the next step was diving further ahead into my favorite part- new mothers and new babies.
When I'm not being a doula, I work part time at inpatient pediatrics at a local INOVA hospital. I've been there for 6 years and love it. Being able to mesh both my holistic doula knowledge as well as my medical and clinical knowledge has been super beneficial to my practice.
On the weekends you'll find me probably hanging out with my 3 year old and husband. We love to hang out and relax together as a family, and are usually caught hanging out in Old Town Manassas Train Station which my little one loves to watch, or at the Farmers Market. Supporting small businesses is super important to us! When we're home we love to listen to music, do puzzles and play with our two cats.
