We hired Jeremy Anne to help care for our daughter back when she was 9 months. She was with us for about 5 months. She helped with feeding, play, naps, walking development, baby sign, minor housekeeping items and offered advice with caring for a baby. She has a wonderful holistic approach with her support. She cares about ALL family members - humans and pets alike! We loved that she wasn’t a “transactional” kind of person, she really took the time to get to know us, ask good questions and offer personal care support when needed. She also went out of her way for many things. I will always remember how she helped develop healthy boundaries with our dog as we were adjusting to our daughter’s needs. The boundaries helped build a healthy relationship with our baby and fur baby! Our daughter enjoyed being around Jeremy and she misses her I think sometimes. Jeremy was very helpful with helping our baby walk! We keep in touch and recently shared how our little one is walking all over the place now! I wish we could have had more time with Jeremy. She is a blessing, she is so peaceful and calm.

Supporting birth is my life’s purpose. Growing up, I had the great privilege of attending the births of all 3 of my younger siblings. I was completely in love with the magic of pregnancy, childbirth, and brand new babies and families from then on. I have been a doula since 2024 and attended 60+ births since then. I’ve seen people birth their babies all different ways: hospital, home, birth center, water birth, unmedicated, with epidurals, planned cesareans, unplanned cesareans, twins, and VBACs. I see birth as a family centered event, no matter where and how it occurs. I am currently attending a local registered nursing program. After obtaining my RN, I hope to gain my master’s degree in nurse-midwifery. With my educational background, and passion for knowing the intricacies of the human body, I offer a unique perspective while providing doula care to my clients. I want you to understand your birth setting, your healthcare team and their roles, and prepare you for the different ways birth can unfold.

Maggie is a remarkable human being and Doula! With my planned C-section, I wasn’t sure how a doula would be able to support my experience. Before my son’s birth she provided a whole binder full of helpful resources and an easy template for creating a birthing plan. At the hospital before my surgery she was a wonderful advocate and made sure all my providers were on the same page. Her calming presence, along with the grounding exercises she lead, helped me go into my birth in the right headspace. In the post-op room she was there to help my baby boy get a good latch right away. Breastfeeding has been such a positive experience and I have Maggie to thank for that! I always looked forward to her visits as she is a true baby whisperer. Maggie was super supportive with tasks like nail trimming, pumping, bottle feeding, bathing, and holding the baby so I could tend to myself. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Parents: please share your EDD & contact info in the message body 🙏🏾 Birth doula of 13 years. This is my calling in life to be of service to labor/birth. I’m very grateful to have this as my service in this lifetime and believe every new life is a gift to be honored with care, love and respect for the process. Trained in techniques that encourage optimal fetal positioning by finding balance in the body (more comfort during pregnancy as well as labor/birth) optimal positioning helps labor be more comfortable, increasing odds of a efficient and smoother vaginal birth. I share these techniques with my clients in the third trimester to decrease the use of interventions & prevent trauma. Also practicing placenta encapsulation and massage therapy at Full Moon Birth & Family Wellness Center.

We had the most magical natural unmedicated birth experience in a hospital and we owe so much of it to Gretchen. Right from our first interaction when we were interviewing birth doulas, we were drawn by her warm nature. Her prenatal visits were extremely helpful be it the exercises she taught us to enable an optimal baby position for birth or her inputs into crafting our birth plan. We would have been lost with the information overload if not for her timely, targeted and super informative educational resources that have been extremely helpful to us as first time parents. She has always been a text or phone call away to address anything we needed. She brought in a sign of relief when she entered the labor room...her calming presence during my final stretch of labor and the positions she guided me through definitely helped me avoid an epidural. The icing on the cake was her singing a lullaby to our little one upon birth, it felt divine. She also captured beautiful moments of our baby's birth that we will cherish forever. I will always remember her positive affirmation 'You are stronger than you think!'. Can't thank you enough Gretchen for being the rockstar that you are and all your support to growing families :)

🌿 ABOUT ME Hi, I’m [Your Name] — a mother of five grown children, a seasoned caregiver with 18+ years of professional childcare experience, and a doula dedicated to supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum journey. With over 30 years of hands-on parenting, I’ve nurtured my own children into responsible, hardworking young adults who value kindness, education, and community. Raising them has been the greatest joy and adventure of my life, and it’s what inspires me to support other families during their most meaningful transitions. Caring for babies and children has always come naturally to me. I’m trustworthy, patient, energetic, reliable, and fun — and I deeply understand children’s emotional and physical development. Whether I’m supporting a family with a newborn, guiding parents through the postpartum period, or helping older children feel safe and engaged, I bring structure, warmth, and calm to every home I enter. As a doula and childcare professional, I specialize in newborn care, postpartum support, infant development, and high-demand situations. I have extensive experience with twins, triplets, and long-term family care, and I proudly serve families across Sonoma, Napa, Marin, and San Francisco. I’m also extremely flexible and available for days, nights, weekends, events, and on-call needs — because real life doesn’t always follow a schedule. Experience & Specialties • 18+ years professional childcare • Newborn care + postpartum doula support • Infant specialist • Extensive twins + triplets experience • Long-term family support • Event care (business + personal) • Comfortable with all family backgrounds • Safe, calm, and confident in high-demand situations What I Offer • Gentle newborn + postpartum support • Feeding guidance and emotional reassurance • Engaging activities, crafts, and games for older children • Cooking and light household help (if desired) • Walks, parks, libraries, and local outings • A positive, proactive, and comforting presence • Flexible and reliable scheduling Education & Certifications • A.A. Early Childhood Education • A.A. Social & Behavioral Sciences • Background in Nutrition • French language studies • Currently pursuing neonate nursing • CPR/First Aid Certified • Lifeguard Certified A Little About Me I love travel, the arts, and lifelong learning. I’ve visited all 50 states and 10 countries (soon 11!), and my family has been deeply involved in both athletics and the performing arts — dance, figure skating, basketball, swimming, track, wrestling, and football. These experiences shaped my appreciation for discipline, creativity, and community. Supporting families is not just my work — it is truly my calling. I would be honored to walk alongside you during pregnancy, birth, and the tender postpartum weeks to help you feel supported, confident, and cared for every step of the way. I’d love to meet your family and see how I can help.
