About me

Having grown up in Vermont, I was always around breastfeeding mothers, clean living, and being part of a village for new parents. Upon moving to North Carolina in 2015, I realized the silver lining that was missing in childcare- a cohesive option for care for the newest of babies to any age child, while providing a balance of education, nurturing, and love to the parents. I have a wide variety of experience and certifications in pregnancy, labor, birth, and early parenting. I bring passion and expertise to each and every family she serves. My interest in postpartum work was sparked when my little sister was born; I truly believed that this sweet angel was brought into this world as my baby. From this moment on, I knew she had to work with babies and families in some fashion. Essentially, Elise did not choose the doula/nanny life, the doula/nanny life chose her. I offer a variety of services including: Elise brings a variety of experience, education, and certifications to your family: DONA certified birth doula DONA certified postpartum doula Rebozo certified Sleep Consultant Certified Nursing Assistant Family Coach Nanny Placement

Elise and her team were absolutely amazing in helping me in the early postpartum days in getting sleep and taking care of my mental health. Additionally, when my 1.5 year old began going through sleep regressions, I hired Elise again for virtual sleep support to help us get through the hardest sleep storm.
