I am an experienced caregiver with over 25 years of experience within traditional family and professional settings. I am currently looking to further my career in caregiving for families, elderly, handicapped persons, or newborns to adolescence. Within my extensive career I have mastered many tasks that families desire when searching for a caregiver. From tasks families are unable to do or simply do not have the patience for I have been able to excel. These tasks range from housekeeping, teaching, tending to medical needs, cooking, and providing overall support to families. My services have allowed families to relax, work, or focus on themselves while I take care of their loved ones. While many see caregiving as “job” I do not. To me caregiving is the act of caring for a family’s loved ones as if they were my own. Seeing a family succeed because of my efforts is my goal. I have no doubt in my mind that I will be a valuable asset to your family. It is with great pleasure that I am able to apply for a position with you. Thank you for your time and considerations. If more information is desired, please feel free to contact me. Kindest regards, Shameena Ibrahim

Hey New & expecting parents! Shauniese Sutton, a compassionate Birth and Postpartum Doula and Childbirth Educator dedicated to supporting families through one of the most powerful seasons of their lives. I provide emotional, physical, and informational support before, during, and after birth so you never have to walk this journey alone. I specialize in helping birthing people feel confident, informed, and respected in their choices, whether they are planning a natural birth, an epidural, a VBAC, or a peaceful postpartum recovery. My approach blends evidence-based education, hands-on comfort techniques, and nurturing care to create a calm, supported, and empowering birth experience for you and your family.

Being a doula isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am. I come to this work with both heart and hands: deeply compassionate and clinically trained. I believe birth and family-building in all its forms deserve steady, knowledgeable, and nonjudgmental support. Whether I’m offering comfort measures in active labor, explaining medical options in a hospital room, or simply sitting quietly and holding space, my goal is always the same — to help families feel safe, informed, and truly cared for. I trust the wisdom of the body, but I also respect the realities of modern medicine, and I bridge those two worlds with calm confidence. I proudly support all types of families and all paths to parenthood — traditional birth, cesarean birth, adoption, surrogacy, and even palliative and end-of-life journeys surrounding pregnancy and infants. I understand that not every story unfolds the way we hope, and I believe every story still deserves tenderness, dignity, and unwavering advocacy. My philosophy is rooted in inclusivity, respect, and meeting families exactly where they are. Whether welcoming new life or navigating complex emotions, I show up fully — with warmth, clinical understanding, and a deep belief that no one should walk these moments alone

As a Catholic doula and wellness coach, I help Catholic moms achieve holiness through a body, mind, and soul approach to pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I offer prayerful pregnancy planning and coaching through a uniquely faith-based lens, physically support and pray with mamas during labor as a birth doula, and continue to walk with them through postpartum doula services and ongoing wellness coaching rooted in God's design for your body. My Philosophy: - Pregnancy, labor, and postpartum are an experience of God and a call to holiness. - A mother's voice should ALWAYS be respected in her pregnancy, birth, and motherhood. - No mother should have to do all of this alone - physical and prayerful support changes everything. - Fitness and wellness for mothers is less about achieving standards and more about maintaining balance so we can better serve our families.

My calling for birth work started with a traumatic first birth, but has opened my eyes to the beauty that is child birth. I began educating myself which resulted in discovering what a doula was. I felt in my heart if I was able to rewrite my birth narrative, then I can be that person for others. I began attending births as a doula in November 2021. Along this journey, I became pregnant with my third child and was able to experience the difference the midwifery model of care can make. As I carried my child in my womb, attending mostly hospital births as a doula, I saw so many women not being heard or respected. I felt this urgency to become a midwife myself, because all women deserve to be supported. Birth is a natural event that sometimes needs medical attention and not the other way around. I was so inspired to make this my life’s work that I enrolled at the National College of Midwifery September 2022. I have not only been a victim myself but witnessed how our culture has stripped women of their birthing power. I have had three very different personal experiences with three very different births myself. One very medicalized birth turned into cesarean, one unmedicated vbac in a hospital and my last birth was at a birth center ! My hope and passion is to help other women feel the power that comes when their autonomy is left intact! I believe that birth is sacred. I believe in you and your ability to birth. I hold space for the spiritual, the physical, the emotional. I am here to help you with your fears, your hopes, and your dreams. In January 2023 I decided to attend a reiki 1 and 2 training. I have been incorporating this spiritual modality when requested. The pairing on energy work within the birth space has had a magical impact on my clients and my own personal enlightenment. I believe that every woman deserves to birth in a way that is safe for her and her baby, in a way that assures she feels honored and supported.
