Our Team
Julia Neumann
Hi, I’m Julia — the founder of Full Circle Newborn Care! Born and raised in Austria, I’ve always felt called to nurture and care for others. My journey began as a preschool teacher, where I discovered a deep love for supporting children and their families.
Life brought me to Arlington, VA, where I’ve spent many years working as a nanny and overnight newborn care provider. Along the way, I started my own little family with my husband Nick, our dog Max, and our cat Wally. My passion for caring for babies also inspired me to begin nursing school, where I’m set to graduate in 2025 with plans to work with newborns in the hospital.
A Little More About Me
When I’m not caring for little ones or studying, I serve as a volunteer EMT with the McLean Volunteer Fire Department. Over the past two years, I’ve dedicated more than 600 hours to medical emergency care—an experience that has deepened both my medical knowledge and my commitment to serving families with compassion and skill.

Patricia Djereye
Hi, I’m Patricia, and I’m thrilled to be part of Full Circle Newborn Care! Born and raised in Ivory Coast, West Africa, I’ve always had a heart for helping others. My journey has taken me through different roles in healthcare, and I currently work at a dialysis clinic while pursuing my nursing degree. Being a mother of one has also deepened my understanding of what families need during those early, precious days with their newborns.
I’m passionate about providing families with the support they deserve, whether it’s offering hands-on care for newborns or simply being a source of reassurance. My goal is to make sure parents feel confident and cared for as they navigate this special time. I bring a lot of experience and a calm, compassionate approach to every family I support.
