Destiny Smith-Milner

Hi there! I’m Destiny! I’m a Columbus native, wife, proud mom to a sweet 3-year-old, and career childcare professional with over a decade of experience. My background spans several different areas of childcare, from my career as a private nanny and founding my own event childcare company, Social Sitters, to doula work, postpartum support, and newborn care. Since 2020, I’ve found a special passion for supporting families through the newborn and postpartum stages, which is where I’m choosing to now focus my expertise. As both a mother and childcare professional, I understand firsthand how exciting, yet overwhelming, the transition into parenthood can be. While I bring years of knowledge and hands on experience, my goal is to ultimately support and empower parents to feel confident in the choices that work best for them and their little ones. I pride myself on offering a warm, down to earth approach to care without compromising the professionalism and respect every family deserves. I look forward to connecting with your family!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the care and support I received during my postpartum experience. Having my first baby was one of the most beautiful, emotional, and overwhelming experiences of my life, and having such a supportive person made all the difference. From the moment I gave birth, I felt cared for, heard, and supported. The postpartum period comes with so many new emotions, questions, and adjustments, especially as a first-time mom. The kindness, patience, encouragement, and reassurance I received helped me feel more confident and comfortable as I navigated motherhood for the first time. I truly appreciated how much Destiny took the time to check on me, answer my questions, and make sure both my baby and I were doing well. I never felt like I was just another patient. I felt genuinely cared for as a new mother during such a special and vulnerable time in my life. I will always be grateful for the compassion and support I received. Those first moments of motherhood are something I will remember forever, and having such a positive postpartum experience made them even more special. Thank you for making my transition into motherhood a little easier and for treating me with so much care and kindness!

"I'm 40 years old and just had our 6th child after a 6 year gap from our youngest. I have given birth in 3 different settings - birth center, hospital and homebirth. I had 2 different midwives before Dorothy due to early retirement for both and they were good, but Dorothy was my favorite for numerous reasons. Dorothy is what I would consider a "gold standard" midwife. Her professionalism, thorough training and diverse experience nationally and internationally stand out. What I appreciated most were the numerous services and products she provided right out of her "mobile office" (AKA vehicle): ultrasound, blood work, and natural supplements to name a few. Not every midwife does this which is why I was very impressed with Dorothy. She has a humble yet confident competence in the knowledge and wisdom she no doubt learned through her training and various experiences, including a peaceful calm demeanor, which I credit to her faith. Great qualities to have in a midwife! She invests her whole self into her vocation and truly exemplifies her passion and artistry for midwifery. She took the time to answer my questions and concerns, educate me on nutrition and other means to have a healthy pregnancy, and even considered my previous pregnancies/births in order to make the right decisions with this most current baby. I'm happy to share that I got the waterbirth that I wanted and Dorothy helped make it happen. Without reserve I whole heartedly recommend Dorothy!"
