Meet Jessica Vonada

 Hello, Parents of Little Ones!

My name is Jessica and I am the owner of Good Morning Sunshine, a business I founded in 2016 to support families through child sleep consulting. Over the years, my passion for helping families thrive has continued to grow, and I recently expanded Good Morning Sunshine to also offer newborn overnight care services. In addition to providing care myself, I now work alongside two trusted caregivers whose profiles are featured below, allowing us to support even more families with compassionate, experienced care.

I have always had a deep passion for working with children — especially babies. My journey began while earning my B.S. in Elementary Education and M.S. in Education with a specialization in ESL, during which I worked with infants in an early learning center from 2005–2009. After graduating in 2009, I spent two years teaching before realizing that my true calling was working more closely with infants and newborns.

In 2011, I began my career as a Newborn Care Specialist, primarily supporting families with preemies and twins. From May 2015 through July 2017, I had the incredible privilege of caring for orphaned and abandoned infants and toddlers in a baby home in Uganda — an experience that profoundly shaped both my personal and professional life. In 2018, I became certified as an Advanced Newborn Care Specialist.

My path to becoming a child sleep consultant began in 2012 while working in a 24-hour care role with infant twins. After the babies experienced the four-month sleep regression, their sleep quickly deteriorated, leaving everyone exhausted. The family decided to hire a sleep consultant, and although I was initially skeptical, I was amazed by the transformation. Within just a few days, the twins were sleeping 12 uninterrupted hours at night and taking age-appropriate naps. That experience sparked my passion for newborn sleep, and in 2016, I graduated from the Family Sleep Institute as a Certified Child Sleep Consultant.

As I continued supporting families through newborn care and sleep consulting, I realized I wanted to provide more well-rounded support for postpartum and lactating mothers as well. This led me to become a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist and Certified Postpartum Doula.

I truly love what I do and feel honored to walk alongside families during such a special season of life. Whether you are looking for overnight newborn support, sleep guidance, or postpartum care, my team and I would be honored to help your family get the rest, support, and peace of mind you deserve.

 Hello! My name is Katherine and I appreciate you taking the time to learn more about me and the support I provide for families during the newborn stage!

My passion for infant care began long before I had children of my own. Friends and family often turned to me for help with their little ones, and I quickly discovered how much I loved those quiet, late-night hours — soothing babies and helping ease the worries of new parents. When I became a mother myself, that love deepened even more as I experienced firsthand both the exhaustion and the incredible joy that come with welcoming a newborn.

Through my own journey into motherhood, I realized that while babies have immediate needs, parents do as well. That understanding inspired me to pursue professional training as a Newborn Care Specialist, allowing me to turn my passion into a meaningful career. Today, I combine both my formal training and personal experience to provide families not only with expert newborn care, but also with reassurance, encouragement, and compassionate support during the early weeks of parenthood.

I understand the rollercoaster of emotions that often accompanies the postpartum transition, and I am dedicated to helping families feel supported, confident, and cared for as they navigate this beautiful and important season of life.
