Hi, my name is Alexia and I am a birth doula. First, I’d like to say congratulations! This is such a beautiful journey you are starting. I have been doing childcare for about 8 years. I previously worked as a lead teacher in infant/toddler classrooms. Once I decided it was time for change, I became a daycare director. During that time, I found my love for being a support system for the parents and families. I am currently in nursing school, hoping to become a midwife. I also work as a nanny. I absolutely love what I do, and I hope you choose me to embark on this journey with you. I’m looking forward to hearing from you!
