Hi- Im Kate! I have been babysitting since I was 12 (I started with new born twins!!) and have sat for different families since. I have helped with twins, triplets and have watched over children from the age of a few days to teens. I was a career nanny for over 10 years working for many profession families (including NFL players!) before having my own children (they are 4 and 2 now!). I love working with new families and am look forward to working nights, weekends, overnights and for travel. While I am working on my newborn care specialist training, I am very interested in working with families with newborns for overnights as a night nurse or extra help on weekends or evenings.

As a dedicated doula, I am committed to continuous learning and staying abreast of the latest advancements in childbirth support. Embracing a philosophy of inclusivity, I hold no biases towards race, religion, sex, orientation, or any other defining characteristic, with the hope that every client receives personalized, respectful, and unbiased care. My mission is to ensure that your journey through childbirth is not only supported with the latest knowledge but also infused with the hope of a respectful and inclusive experience, tailored to your individual needs!

Hi, I’m Janelle! With my extensive experience as a mother of two, rigorous birth and postpartum DONA certification, Master’s in Health Administration, and training as a health and wellness coach, I offer a unique set of experiences that blend compassionate care, evidence-based knowledge, and whole-person wellness to support women through every stage of their motherhood journey. My own vastly different birth journeys - one C-section and one VBAC - opened my eyes to how different each experience can be, yet how deeply every mother deserves to feel supported, informed, and empowered. My own doula supported and empowered me through those experiences and inspired me to create FlourisHER Way Birth and Wellness, a space where women can receive both practical and emotional support through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery. I bring a wealth of related experience, with years in healthcare leadership and wellness coaching, to countless hours walking alongside moms as they navigate nourishment, rest, identity shifts, and self-care. My approach is gentle and empowering, and I bring that same calm, grounded, and nurturing presence into my doula work. I believe every mother and birthing person deserves to feel confident, cared for, and fully supported - physically, emotionally, and mentally - as they bring new life into the world. Through my work and my heart as a mom, I’ve learned that thriving in motherhood takes more than just physical recovery — it’s about nourishment, rest, emotional balance, and rediscovering yourself in this new chapter. My approach is gentle, personalized, and rooted in helping mothers flourish — body, mind, and spirit — as they welcome new life and step into their strongest selves. My approach is gentle, reassuring, and deeply personal. Together, we’ll honor your body, your intuition, and your story as you flourish in your own unique way!

Hi there! My name is Brittney Marshall and I am born and raised in/around Columbus Ohio. I enjoy the beautiful outdoors taking hikes through wooded areas and exploring places around the city. I started caring for kiddos when I was just a kiddo myself honestly. My mother would work alot so I proved to her that I was responsible and could help take care of my baby sister! I was 11 years old when my sister was born, I helped my mama with feeding the baby,soothing,putting down for naps,playing, and milestones. As I grew into a teenager my older sister started having her babies back to back to back and she either lived with my mother and us siblings or she lived right above us in the same apartment building. I always had little feet running around and I helped her with caring for her kiddos as much as I could! I also babysat younger cousins and friends of the family as a teenager as well. As I became an adult I had other jobs but always came back to babysitting and working with kiddos. I have been a nanny/babysitter for multiple families, i worked as an infant/toddler teacher at The Barrington School, and am currently a nanny for almost 2 year old girly. This position will be ending Aigust 19th when little girl goes to early childhood education school. It is bitter sweet since I have been with them for going on 3 years! I am looking for my next journey doing what i do best caring! :)

I would love to be able to help your family find that balance by providing overnight childcare and light housework.
