Dear Family, Hi, My name is Nanny Kate, TT, and I have been a Nanny/Household manager for nearly 26 years now. I am seeking a long term commitment, and will be exclusive to your family! I have a strong sense of family, having grown up with an older sister, and parents who just celebrated their 53rd Anniversary! My 10 year old niece and nephew, friends and my dog are the loves of my life! I began my career at 17 when I decided to be an intern at a law firm to start on the path of becoming an attorney. During my first week, the nanny for the owners of the firm would bring in their infant daughter to visit. She would hand the baby to me whenever she started crying because the crying would subside and turn into smiles and laughs. I was given the nickname of the “baby whisperer” After seeing this on multiple occasions, the owners asked if I would rather be their nanny then an intern. The rest is history!! As your nanny, my objective is to create a safe and fun learning environment for children of all ages, and will allow you to maximize your quality time with your child. My style of childcare is laid back but structured. I don’t favor strict schedules, but believe in maintaining an orderly house and routines. I want the child to learn as many self help skills as possible given their age, as well as positive reinforcement. I am an on-the-go nanny, and enjoy watching children learn through hands-on experiences and outings! Nanny Kate

Hey y’all! My name is Brittany and I have a passion for all things pregnancy, birth, postpartum and breastfeeding. I’m a certified breastfeeding specialist and doula.

Daisy grew up in a small town in Alaska with her 6 siblings. She has always had a huge interest in pregnancy and birth, as she attended many of her aunts midwife prenatal visits and even one of her births at a young age. In January 2019, Daisy decided to move forward in pursuing a job in the birth worker world. She discovered what a birth doula was and soon found a certification program in Nashville TN that offered everything she was wanting. She was working in the Army as a military police at the same time as she was doing her certification, so the process took a little longer than expected but it allowed her to truly educate herself and work towards this new lifestyle for herself. When not doing birth work, Daisy enjoys spending time with her boyfriend and his three children. They do many outdoor activities to include; water parks, camping, fishing, and swimming. Daisy is certified as a labor and birth doula through Blissful Birthing TN, certified as a childbirth educator through Childbirth International, and certified as a placenta encapsulation specialist through Brilliant Birth Academy. She is also trained as a postpartum doula through Blissful Birthing TN.

After going through multiple pregnancy losses and receiving support from other women, I knew that I wanted to learn how to support women through labor and birth, both in the extreme highs and extreme lows of that journey. I was trained in 2018 and have been practicing ever since! My doula career began in San Antonio and is now continuing in middle Tennessee, where I live with my husband and 3 beautiful children. I truly see doula work as a calling and ministry. I am passionate about empowering and supporting women, and I would love to walk alongside you in your pregnancy and birth!
