Hello, My name is Augusta Mendenhall, IBCLC. I have been helping families with breastfeeding for 27 wonderful years. I believe in providing supportive care that is gentle in nature.

Hi, I’m Kayla! I am a nurse, wife, and mother of two. I have nursing experience in labor and delivery, pediatric primary care, and school nursing. I have experience in lactation with NICU babies, tongue ties, bottle refusal, exclusive pumping, poor latch, PPD, and reflux issues. I enjoy helping moms develop a plan to feed their baby based on what works for mom and baby, not based on what a textbook might say. I truly enjoy teaching moms, cheering them on, and celebrating all of their victories and milestones.

I am a caring and dependable Night Nanny offering calm, attentive overnight support for newborns and infants. As a parent myself, I bring real-life, hands-on experience caring for babies through the night, understanding both infant needs and the importance of parental rest and reassurance. I provide overnight care that includes feeding support (bottle or parent-prepared breast milk), diaper changes, soothing, comforting, and monitoring safe sleep practices. My approach is gentle, patient, and responsive—focused on helping babies feel secure while allowing parents to rest with peace of mind.

I am a reliable and caring babysitter with extensive experience working with children of all ages. I have worked at two different daycares, where I gained hands-on experience in creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment.

Whether it’s playtime, homework help, or bedtime routines, I’m here to provide compassionate and responsible care for your little ones.

I took on the role of nurturer fairly early in life. As the oldest of 8 I lovingly stepped into the big sister role to help guide my siblings by displaying great leadership. In 2014 I became a mother and it was during this experience that I discovered my calling for birth work. Since, for the last 11 years, I have devoted time to being a student in midwifery, becoming trauma informed, and expanding my inclusive services, to widen my scope of support and care. " I will continue to help recreate the way we interact and think about birth, more importantly, physiological birth, as it pertains to people that look like me. We deserve to experience birth void of trauma." - Yeyo

My name is MelShine and I’m a birth worker and midwifery student who is passionate about walking alongside families through pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

I am looking for a night nanny position. I love working with newborns and enjoy helping families get some rest as I have seen how exhausting it can be!

I'm an experienced IBCLC who has a passion for finding -and working to resolve- root causes. I love "lactation detective work" for complex cases and I love grounding myself in the biological norm as a blueprint for breastfeeding. I work hard to be inclusive in my practice in every way possible. I have especially deep dived into issues surrounding tongue tie and low milk supply. I have 4 kids who have helped me understand, more than anything, that there is more than one "right" way to parent. I believe in the instincts of the parents I work with and always honor their place as the primary member(s) of the infant feeding team.
