We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Jenn’s support during the first weeks with our son. Those early newborn days can be both joyful and overwhelming, and her calm, knowledgeable presence made all the difference for our family. From the very beginning, Jenn brought a sense of reassurance and confidence into our home. She was attentive, nurturing, and truly in tune with our son’s needs, handling everything from feedings and diaper changes to soothing him back to sleep with such ease and care. Just as importantly, she took the time to support us as new parents—answering questions, offering gentle guidance, and helping us establish routines that set a strong foundation. We were able to get much-needed rest, knowing our son was in the best possible hands. Her professionalism, reliability, and genuine warmth gave us complete peace of mind each night. We are so grateful for Jenn’s support in those early weeks and would absolutely recommend her to any family looking for compassionate, experienced overnight care.

Hi, I’m Kathleen Stern—a certified postpartum and birth doula, certified infant feeding specialist and an IBCLC candidate (international board certified lactation consultant), expecting to be certified in 2026. I love working with parents to offer real-time relief and practical tips and to remind them that they’re doing a great job. My goal is to build your confidence and provide relief so that you feel better when my visit ends. Whether you’re a first-time parent feeling nervous/excited or thinking “I don’t know what I don’t know,” or a seasoned parent looking for some more relief this time around, I’ve got you! Prior to working with infants and families, I earned a Masters in Teaching and had a rewarding 15-year education career— teaching students (mostly middle school English), coaching teachers, and helping others recognize their own strengths. I got into the perinatal world after I had a colicky baby in 2014 and was filled with exhaustion, self-doubt, and conflicting advice from well-meaning family and friends. I knew there must be a better way. For my second baby, I worked with a postpartum doula to provide me with the nonjudgmental, hands-on support I knew I would need. The difference between my first and second postpartum experiences prompted me to become a doula and lactation professional. My best advice for expecting families is, “Reach out for help before you think you need it. You're not supposed to be able to do this by yourself.” I live in the North Shore with my 11 and 8 year-old daughters and labradoodle. When I’m not with my family or holding babies, I love to garden, be active, and be by the water.

After a disastrous and daunting first night home with twins I couldn’t help but tear up when Darcy came to the door the next morning. When she arrived we didn’t know how we would make it through the day let alone another night and by the time she left we had the tools to make it through at least the next week. Darcy is such a calming and nurturing force. She somehow simultaneously helped us make a plan for nighttime, pumping and nursing, made sure I ate and took my pain medicine, got me a glass of water, played with my toddler and sent me to bed. Being a new mother is daunting enough but bringing home twins was overwhelming and knowing that I had Darcy’s guidance helped make it all manageable. She is the perfect combination of knowledge and empathy, she has no problem making herself comfortable in your home which makes you comfortable with her in your home. I really have no idea what we would have done without her and couldn’t recommend her more highly.

I was extremely anxious during my second pregnancy after having a miscarriage during my first. I didn’t know what to do and had many questions with just about everything. Cheyenne was very patient, friendly, and professional. She answered about every question I had and provided me with great support. I was about to relax a little bit with her around. I will definitely work with her again the next time around.
