I am a career nanny of 11 years, ages ranging from 3 days old to 9 years old. I am becoming dual certified as a Newborn Care Specialist and a Post Partum Doula. I have an associates in Deaf Interpreter studies and have several years experience with special needs children (pre school) as well as nanny experience with special needs and language development. Not much scares me and I have the negotiation skills of a pro. I am passionate about seeing milestones ( no matter what age) being reached. I am extremely reliable and take positive communication very seriously. I appreciate learning about different cultures and religions and will respect these beliefs, while doing my best to help your child follow your beliefs. Helping your child grow to be respectful and kind is something that I will strive for. I am not a fan of screen time, I prefer to keep your child busy with other activities. I enjoy traveling and seeing and experiencing different ways of life. I love going to venues that have live music and being outside. You will see my name as Kathleen, but most everyone calls me Katie, unless you're my mother when she was mad at me and then it's Kathleen. I look froward to hearing from parents that are interested in having someone that at all times is keeping an eye on their Child and considers their safety my number 1 priority.

Hello! My name is Maddi, and I am a passionate Doula, Licensed Practical Nurse, and Midwifery student committed to providing compassionate, faith-led support to women and families throughout their reproductive journey. My calling to birth work began after the home birth of my first baby in 2021. Although it wasn’t the right season to dive in at that time, everything shifted in 2023 when the Lord led me into the field of Nursing. Halfway through school, during prayer, I was given a beautiful vision of my daughter’s birth—only this time, I was the midwife. I asked the Lord if it was finally my time, and since then He has guided my steps so clearly and purposefully. I am now training under the very Midwife who supported me during my daughter’s birth, and it has been an incredible journey of learning and growth. While continuing my training, I felt called to begin serving families as a Doula of my own—and I have loved every moment of it. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside families during one of the most sacred seasons of their lives, and thankful for the calling the Lord has placed on my heart.

Thank you for taking a minute to learn more about me! My name is Cari Walters. After an eight year battle with infertility, including a full year of testing, medications, and numerous hospital visits, I started my own mom Journey. My husband was deployed to Iraq for the birth of our first child. I would have been all alone if it wasn’t for the close-knit military wives (and occasionally my mom who lived out of state) that encircled me during this precious time. If it wasn’t for these women loving on me and advising me before, during, and after my birth, I know it would not have been such a positive experience. I knew at once that I wanted to support and love other moms in the same manner. I started out supporting new moms by being a part of a group called MOPS. My husband returned from war and shortly after we were blessed with a second baby without all the fertility trials. I continued working with moms through the MOPS organization as we moved across the country to Colorado. It was there that I met a beautiful friend and fellow MOPS mentor who introduced me to being a doula. In 2020, after taking the 200hr course with 75hrs of clinical work I began my journey as a full spectrum doula. I absolutely love birth and postpartum work but quickly learned that I really shined on the postpartum side of birth work. I concentrated on obtaining my Newborn Care Specialist certification and Sleep Guide Certification to improve and round out my skills as a postpartum doula.
