My name is D. Starr Robins, CPM, and I bring over 15 years of experience supporting birthing people and families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period with calm, informed, and compassionate care.

I serve families throughout the Hampton Roads area with comprehensive care that integrates clinical skill, emotional presence, and culturally responsive support. My professional background includes four years of formal midwifery training along with extensive experience as a birth and postpartum doula, monitrice, and perinatal wellness specialist. This foundation allows me to combine skilled clinical assessment with continuous, relationship-centered care throughout pregnancy, labor, birth, and the postpartum transition.

My childcare style is best described as nurturing, purposeful, and grounded in a healthy balance of warmth and structure. Above all, I lead with deep nurture and compassion, creating a secure environment where children feel genuinely loved, respected, and understood. I firmly believe that children function optimally when provided with a proper balance of unconditional love blended with clear boundaries and discipline that teaches consequences. By pairing a gentle, compassionate approach with consistent expectations, I help children develop internal accountability, emotional resilience, and the confidence to navigate their daily lives. My care focuses heavily on the holistic development of the child, ensuring an intentional balance of physical and mental education. Whether designing structured, high-energy outdoor activities to support motor skills or facilitating hands-on STEM and creative arts projects to spark intellectual curiosity, I strive to enrich every aspect of a child’s growth. Ultimately, my goal is to maintain a safe, highly nurturing environment where children are empowered to learn, explore, and thrive. Why be a nanny? With my lifelong experience in childcare, being a nanny is so much more than a profession for me; it is a true calling. I find deep fulfillment in supporting families and contributing to a healthy, harmonious household where everyone can thrive. There is nothing more rewarding than partnering with parents to guide children as they grow, watching them hit milestones, and helping them develop into confident, compassionate individuals. Having a career dedicated to helping others and making a positive, lasting difference in a family's daily life brings a rewarding sense of purpose to everything I do.
