My name is Laporcha Foster most people call me LaLa. I am from Houston, Texas and I am a mother to 4 beautiful souls (3 girls and 1 boy). I am a traveling birth/postpartum doula who is also an end of life doula (helping others transition over to the after life). I became a doula after realizing nursing school wasn’t for me. I wanted to be a L&D nurse then a Nurse Practitioner so I could deliver babies. One day I was talking to my spiritual coach who told me my ancestors told her I was a medicine healing lady, and my life purpose was to be a midwife. I never thought to be one even though I heard so many people talked about having midwives and doula when I was pregnant with my son. I decided to do some research and I fell in love with the results and became a certified trained birth/postpartum doula through Madriella Doula Network. Being other women and families support system is my top priority. Rather it’s in a home, birthing center, or hospital I’m there! I am now attending a midwifery program at Midwives College of Utah (MCU) and trusting the process of this new journey. I look forward to meeting with you and vibing off good and positive energy. Peace and blessings!

Hello wonderful parents! I’m Kayla. I’ve raised my 3 siblings on my own, and i am currently pregnant with my own son( due in July) I’ve also worked in plenty daycares since the age of 15. Therefore i have plenty of experience. I haven’t worked with any ages over 3 years old besides my siblings, so I’m not quite experienced with the older kids. I am however willing to give it a shot. I’m 20 years old( lol very quick on my feet to chase the littles) I’m currently a junior in college studying for my degree in early childhood. Your probably thinking A very young junior i know, but I graduated high school a year earlier than my class. Therefore I have all the capabilities to teach your littles and/or help with homework. However all of my classes are online so, I’m free whenever you need me to be. I’ve worked with children for years and I do it because it’s my passion. I want to be the best teacher there is & practicing with jobs such as these are a great help to me. Therefore I’m not looking for a big pay out, $10-15 is fine with me or even if you’re looking for something cheaper. I’m open to negotiating. You’re helping me by letting me help your family. Give me a shot! Talk soon <3
