Night Nannies & Night Nurses Near Me in Kannapolis, NC

Hello! My name is Kristin Gunner, and I'm a certified Birth, Postpartum, and Bereavement Doula serving Charlotte, NC, and the surrounding areas. I became a doula after listening to the stories of friends and family members who have given birth. Most wished they had better support during their pregnancies, and I know they deserved better. I wanted to offer support to new parents and help them feel safe in their most vulnerable moments. My goal is to ensure you feel supported, heard, and empowered. I want you to feel confident in your decisions, knowing you always have someone on your side. I'm here to help you on your journey, no matter what that looks like.

My name is Jawanna Gaines, and I walk with women and families across the thresholds of birth, postpartum, womb healing, and, when needed, loss. My own journey — through womb surgeries, healing, and the calling into doula work — attuned me to the deep wisdom of the body and the sacred nature of life’s passages. I believe birth, like death, is not only a physical event but also a spiritual initiation — one that deserves to be witnessed, honored, and held with reverence. My philosophy is rooted in presence, intentionality, and ceremony. I am here not to direct your path, but to hold steady light as you cross your own, offering care that is gentle, grounded, and deeply human.

As a birth doula, social worker, and proud parent parent of two incredible daughters, my journey into birth work is deeply personal and rooted in both lived experience and professional purpose. I know what it feels like to navigate pregnancy with support and I know what it feels like to do don't alone. Those contrasting experiences shaped my passion for showing up fully for others during one of life's most powerful and vulnerable transitions. Whether you're surrounded by loved ones or navigating this journey solo, my role is to ensure you feel empowered, informed and never alone. My philosophy centers on honoring your voice, your choices, and your unique story. With a background in trauma-informed care, mental health, and community advocacy, I bring a holistic and affirming approach to support your physical, emotional, and informational needs. I believe birth is not just a medical event, it's a sacred transformation. I meet each family with compassion, cultural respect, and evidence-based support, and I strive to hold space for healing, joy, and agency. You deserve to be seen, heard, and celebrated throughout your birth journey and I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

With love and steady presence, Ari

Professionally, I have over five years of experience working in an infant room as a Lead Teacher. During that time, I was responsible for maintaining feeding schedules, diapering, and creating a safe, nurturing environment for infants as young as five weeks old. I often worked independently with 3–5 babies at a time, ensuring each child received personalized care and attention. Parents appreciated the structure and comfort I provided, often requesting weekend care because their babies responded so well to my routine. I followed all daycare regulations carefully and always maintained a professional, warm, and supportive approach—treating families like my own while upholding the highest standards of care. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve cared for newborns and young children in a personal capacity for over 20 years, including family and close friends. This has further deepened my understanding of infant development, comfort cues, and the importance of consistency and communication with caregivers.

I am also a Certified Fertility Doula (CFD), Reproductive Health Specialist (RHS), Postpartum Doula (PPD), Newborn Care Specialist (NCS), and Infant Feeding Specialist (IFS). I know it’s a mouthful but it was all totally worth it. ​ I support unmedicated and medicated births and believe they are both outstandingly beautiful. I also specialize in working with LGBTQ+ families. I am obsessed with multiples as a result of my younger twin siblings, Claire and Cooper. Thankfully, my obsession has led me to experience some amazing twin and triplet births (vaginal and cesarean). I also fully support and love those who birth their babies from their bellies. I now offer planned cesarean support as well! ​ I have been trained in a variety of comfort measure techniques including, rebozo, acupressure, massage, guided meditation, and aromatherapy. I am a certified Hypnobabies Hypno-Doula. Additionally, I have significant experience with clients using other forms of Hypnosis for birth. ​ I have a fierce desire to help clients who struggle with walking a unique fertility path. As the first Fertility Doula in Charlotte, NC, I know just how much support surrounding fertility complications and infertility is needed in our community. I have recently started organizing a collective of doulas committed to offering support to families and individuals undergoing any fertility assistance. Fertility work has led me to find passion in also supporting families with surrogates and those going through surrogacy. ​ Breastfeeding/Chestfeeding, pumping, supplementing, and formula feeding are all journeys that I’m in full support of and have significant experience with as well. Cultivating an environment where you can bond with your baby, no matter how you feed them, is one of my favorite things to curate for clients. ​ I’ve always loved supporting people - the deeply and passionately really truly type of love. There is nothing that has ever compared to feeling like I’m living my purpose. Being a doula isn’t what I am meant to do. Being a doula is what I was born to do.
