Hi, I'm Hayley Acuña!
I’ve been caring for babies for as long as I can remember, and I love every minute of it.
I’m the oldest of five girls, and my mom was a lactation consultant and doula (she’s a midwife now!). Babies, feeding, and postpartum were everyday conversation in our house, so caring for newborns has truly always felt like second nature to me.
It's truly an honor to work with families during this life-changing time, and I'm grateful that they consistently describe me as a calm, dependable, and comforting presence in their homes. I’m flexible, I go with the flow, and I’m happy to jump in wherever you need me, whether that’s a 3am feed or a sink full of bottles. I truly love every baby I care for, and most of my families stay in touch long after our time together ends.
From Real Parents Like You
“She didn’t just feel like a consultant, she felt like family”
From the very beginning, Hayley was incredibly kind, patient, and genuine, always meeting us with a calm, reassuring presence. Even now, my older children still ask about her!
A.F. · Dallas, TX
“It can be hard to justify night help, but for us she was a life saver.”
She knew exactly when to let our daughter drift off to sleep in her crib and when she needed to cuddle. Hayley made it a perfectly natural transition every time.
A.T. · Dallas, TX
“Having twins was definitely not like our first. Truly a game changer.”
Her ability to smoothly transition our twin baby boys from the hospital to our home has been greatly appreciated. The sleep allowed us to recover and become better parents.
M.R. · San Diego, CA
“Hayley has an unflappable sense of calm and competence.”
Our baby boy was a preemie, very small and sleepy. We slept with ease when Hayley stayed overnight because we had great trust in her ability to care for him.
Z.P. · San Diego, CA
"She has such valuable insight that ultimately led to consistent sleep.”
This was my first baby. By nine weeks, my daughter was sleeping in consistent stretches through the first half of the night.
