The support we need during birth and early parenting is intimate, it is unique to each person experiencing it. It is a vulnerable time, one in which we are forced to expose the most raw and real version of ourselves. We need personalized care that addresses our physical, and emotional needs. We need an expert who is committed to our process and our transition through it. I'm Carrot insurance approved.

I specialize in overnight postpartum care so parents can focus on getting rest and recharging for their upcoming day.
Carrin was made for this role. A friend recommended her after receiving such great care and I’m so glad I followed up on the recommendation. She is kind, professional, and compassionate and made such a positive impact on our pregnancy, labor, and newborn stage.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Carrin with us during one of the most important and vulnerable times in our lives. Our baby was born prematurely and spent nearly two months in the NICU. When we finally brought our little one home, we were filled with joy but also anxiety and exhaustion especially with a toddler at home. That’s when Carrin entered our lives—and her support was truly invaluable. From the very beginning, she brought a calming, confident presence into our home. She cared for our baby with the utmost care and skill, always attuned to the unique needs that come with being a preemie. Her experience, compassion, and quiet strength gave us the reassurance we needed as we transitioned from hospital life to home. She wasn’t just a night nurse—she was a steady source of comfort and care for our entire family. Whether it was helping us establish a safe and nurturing routine, answering our endless questions with patience, or simply offering a kind word and a warm presence during the night, she was there in every sense of the word. What stood out most was her deep thoughtfulness. She not only cared beautifully for our baby, but also made sure we, as parents, felt supported and understood. Her presence gave us the ability to rest, recover, and begin bonding with our baby in a meaningful and less stressful way. We will always be grateful for her care during those early, emotional weeks. After everything we had been through in the NICU, having someone like Carrin by our side was a true gift. Any family would be incredibly lucky to welcome her into their lives.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Carrin. She is absolutely amazing. She is so genuine and has such a kind and calming presence. She is professional, very reliable, and a great communicator. My family used her as a night doula for 4 months. I trusted her 110% with my son. She is so knowledgeable about the post-partum period as well as about newborns. I always looked forward to our nights with her, and she made our post-partum period soooo much easier. I interviewed multiple night doulas and I couldn’t have been happier that I chose to work with her. She is a wonderful human who cares deeply about mothers and babies. She has an amazing ability to calm a fussy baby, and is able to read babies so well. She also gave great advice about breastfeeding and baby naps. When I was readmitted to the hospital postpartum for some medical complications, she offered to come stay with me in the hospital so my husband could help with our toddler. I feel so fortunate that she was part of my village.

Two years ago, we had our first child, and we thought we didn't need help. Turns out, we were very wrong! But we were extremely lucky that Carrin was available to help with overnight care for a few nights a week. It made a huge difference, and we knew we wanted to work with her again for our second child who was born just a few months ago. Carrin is very gentle and caring, and knows how to soothe even the most fussy baby. She was able to answer so many of my new parent questions too! Also, she is always on time, and we knew we could count on her help when we needed it most. I would give her 6 out of 5 stars if I could!

Carrin is a god send!!! We were pregnant with our second baby and knew we wanted to hire a doula this time around as well. We’re both very laid back people and knew we wanted someone to mirror that energy. When we first interviewed Carrin we expressed this to her, and she completely understood the assignment. We knew after that first call that she was the perfect fit for us. She has this calming energy that I knew I would want and need in the delivery room during labor. The final few weeks of my pregnancy Carrin checked in weekly to see how I was doing, if I needed anything, and offered guidance and support along the way. I had the option to do a membrane sweep starting at week 37, and knew immediately I wanted her guidance on this. She offered her non bias opinion and talked me through the benefits of doing it. It’s such a good feeling to have someone that advocates for you and is essentially on your team in addition to my partner. When it was go time she immediately jumped on board, met us at the hospital and stayed throughout the day, night and into the early morning until baby girl was safely earth side. Luckily out birth experience was incredible and I know for a fact it wouldn’t have been this smooth without having her there to help me. She had me switch positions every 30 minutes which allowed baby to make her way down and prepare for labor. I knew I needed someone in there telling me what to do vs me trying to figure it out on my own and that’s exactly what Carrin did. Along with refilling my water and helping pass the time by chatting with me. Overall it was just a really enjoyable and fun experience between her, myself and my husband. I felt I had the best team possible for my delivery! I can’t recommend Carin’s services enough! If you’re looking for a genuine, sweet and knowledgable doula you have found her. I’m so sad our time has come to an end.

Carrin is the absolute BEST! A true baby whisperer. Me and my husband have had her night time support for 12 weeks now and it has been amazing. Our little one was a premie and has had terrible reflux (screaming for hours in pain) but when carrin comes she’s able to get him soothed and put to sleep so easily. She knows all the tricks and our baby loves her. We’ve had a few other doulas as well but they don’t come close to how great carrin is. We really couldn’t have survived without her. Babies reflux is now under control and carrin has been able to get our baby to sleep for really long stretches including after she leaves in the morning. It’s so nice knowing our baby is very well cared for while we’re asleep. We will definitely hire her back when we have another baby!

Carrin, has been the absolute best as my partner and I journey through parenthood. Through my pregnancy, labor, and postpartum, Carrin, has been there every step of the way. Late night phone calls, answering any questions, helping with anxiety. I could not have asked for a more caring, thoughtful doula. She has eased my mind of so many fears and been extremely supportive and patient. It really does take a village to raise a baby, I’m glad I found this company to be apart of it.
