I’ve been caring for babies for as long as I’ve been alive enough to hold one. At six years old, I was rocking my newborn brother to sleep. By nine, I was the neighborhood babysitter. And anytime a new baby entered the family, I was the one they handed that tiny, squishy universe to — because somehow, even as a child, I knew how to listen to them.

No one could ever get the baby to stop crying but me.  

Not because I was special — but because I was attuned.

That instinct carried me into nannying long before I even knew what a nanny was. A cousin-of-a-cousin needed help, my aunt mentioned me, and suddenly I was on Skype interviewing for a job I didn’t even know existed. Two weeks later, I had moved out of state to care for two little ones… and the rest of my story wrote itself.

Fifteen years later, I discovered the word “doula,” and everything clicked.  

Of course I became certified.  

Of course it felt like home.  

Of course this was the next evolution of what I’ve always done.

My favorite age group?  

0–3.  

The coos, the cries, the tiny fists, the soft breaths, the way they look at you like they know the secrets of the universe but can’t tell you yet. They are tiny sparks becoming bigger sparks — whole humans in tiny bodies.

I melt every time.

This isn’t just a service.  

This is sacred work.

It is my greatest joy to be awake when you can’t be — or *shouldn’t* be — making sure your baby is safe, soothed, and deeply cared for. Those quiet hours are where bonding, regulation, and trust are built. It’s where babies whisper their needs, and I listen.

I show up with intuition, gentleness, and a grounding presence that helps your whole home exhale.
