Postpartum Support for Pittsburgh Area Families
Sherilyn Saporito, Postpartum Doula
New parenthood is hard. You deserve experienced support.
After your baby arrives, I show up for you. I help you care for your newborn, support your recovery, make sure you’re nourished, and keep your home feeling manageable. I bring knowledge, experience, and a calm, judgment-free presence to your home during one of life’s most tender transitions.
I’ve had the privilege of supporting families from all over the world, across a wide range of circumstances, family structures, and feeding choices. Whatever your preferences or needs, I meet you exactly where you are.
As a postpartum doula, I provide:
- newborn care and education
- infant feeding support
- emotional support and physical recovery care
- nourishing meal preparation
- light housekeeping and errands
- sibling and pet care
- DONA International certified doula
- Accepted by most employer birth benefit programs
About Me
With a background in special education and master’s degrees in anthropology and education, I bring both professional training and lived experience to my work as a postpartum doula. I’ve always been drawn to helping people, and over the years I’ve supported families as a special education teacher, a service coordinator for children with disabilities, and a Behavior Specialist Consultant.
These experiences and being a mother myself, shape how I support families today. I believe every family’s story is different, and I’m committed to offering compassionate, non-judgmental care that meets you where you are. My goal is to create a calm, safe space where you feel heard, supported, and cared for during the postpartum transition.
When I’m not working with families, you can usually find me spending time with my family and dog, traveling, cooking, reading, or getting creative.

Testimonials
“Hiring Sheri was one of the best decisions my husband and I made for postpartum. As new parents, Sheri brought so much knowledge that made us more confident as parents when we were on our own. Not only was she a baby whisperer to our son, but she provided great support with cooking, tidying up, and laundry following my c-section. We will definitely continue to use Sheri as we grow our family. “
– Stephanie
“For my second baby, I knew I needed more support. Sherilyn was critical to finding out rhythm in those first wild weeks: helping to ease infant tummy troubles, troubleshoot latch issues, and even sleep arrangements. Beyond that, Sherilyn kept me sane and cared for by allowing me to sleep and shower while she made sure I had healthy meals to eat. So glad we had her and could not recommend her calm, reassuring expertise enough.”
– Rachel
“Sheri was so instrumental as we came into our roles as new parents, and I recovered from childbirth. She gave us support in every way we would have needed it — from tips that actually helped our baby sleep, to preparing meals for me, and helping me learn how to use a breast pump for the first time. She also has a really kind and calming presence about her. Simply put, I couldn’t recommend her more!”
– Sarah
