Responds within an hour

Greetings! My name is Christine Scarlett. I am a former pediatric nurse and now a certified birth, sibling, and postpartum doula. I am also a Certified Perinatal Patient Advocate, a Certified Lactation Counselor, Certified Educator of Infant Massage, and Gift Registry Advocate. Perhaps my best credential is being the mother of seven adult children and grandmother of many. I have had one cesarean, six VBAC’s, and sadly, one miscarriage. My personal experiences run the gamut of hospital, home, and waterbirth. I have many years of breastfeeding experience and do volunteer work in that field. I homeschooled for many years and still teach in a co-op one morning per week. Other specialties include cloth diapering, babywearing, healthy cooking, and even just laundry services. Contact me for a free interview to see if I can help you meet your unique goals.

We hired Chris Scarlett for the birth of our 7th baby. We were returning to the hospital after home births and I wanted to make sure there was someone who could advocate for my desires in a hospital setting. Chris was everything we could hope for and MORE! She is encyclopedic in her knowledge of birth, breastfeeding, hospital policy, and postpartum health (she is also a postpartum doula). I felt so confident asking her to help educate me on any topic. She came fully prepared to show me all the options available for a wide variety of birth plans. I felt totally free to develop my own birth plan and that she would advocate for my desires. She helped me as my due date approached know what kind of exercises and movements could help get my baby in position and provide relief from undesirable pregnancy symptoms. She helped keep me calm and focused on my desires for this birth when I went 9 days overdue! When I was in active labor, she came to my home and helped me get dressed, pack the car, time contractions etc. Once in the hospital, I was already in transition and almost non-verbal. Chris knew exactly what to do (parking, check-in, making the attending aware of my birth plan, preparing the birth room, preparing the hospital's stool, ball, CUB, bathtub). She is an incredibly clear communicator - firm, but respectful to hospital staff. She was with me and my husband in every contraction, letting him know how he could help me. She suggested position changes, made sure I had adequate hydration and nutrients. Once the baby was delivered, she helped protect my “Golden Hour” based on my desires, helped establish breastfeeding, get clean and changed, and stayed until we were settled in the recovery room. We both recommend her 100%!!!

Working with Roman during my pregnancy and birth experience was truly a gift. I had the most beautiful and empowering home water birth surrounded by love, peace, and support, and Roman played such an important role in helping create that space. Her presence was calming, intuitive, nurturing, and deeply grounding. I felt seen, safe, respected, and supported every step of the way. She held space for me in such a gentle yet powerful way and helped me stay connected to myself, my body, and the sacredness of the experience. As an artist and deeply creative person, I know this experience will stay with me forever and continue to inspire the way I create, heal, and hold space for others. Roman helped make that possible by helping me feel fully held, emotionally safe, and spiritually supported throughout one of the most transformative moments of my life. I am endlessly grateful for her presence and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking compassionate, aligned, and genuine doula support.

Faith Chambers Background checked · Oct 2026

Hi, I’m Faith! I provide compassionate postpartum and overnight newborn support to families throughout the Dayton area. With a healthcare background, NICU volunteer experience, and extensive hands-on experience caring for newborns and twins, I’m comfortable independently managing overnight care while helping parents get the rest they need during the postpartum period. My overnight support can include bottle preparation and feeding, burping, diaper changes, soothing and settling, safe sleep routines, washing and sanitizing bottles and pump parts, tracking feeds/diapers/sleep, and light newborn-related tidying. I have particular experience with twins and multiples and am comfortable tandem feeding and caring for two infants throughout the night. As I expand my services into postpartum doula care, my goal is to support not only baby, but the entire family during the transition home. I provide nonjudgmental, parent-directed support and am happy to work alongside each family’s preferred feeding, sleep, and newborn-care routines. I primarily offer overnight support and recurring postpartum arrangements, with limited daytime availability. I would love to connect with families looking for reliable, experienced support during those first weeks and months at home. Inclusive & culturally sensitive care: I warmly welcome families of all backgrounds, cultures, faiths, ethnicities, and family structures. I respect each family’s individual values, postpartum traditions, and newborn-care preferences and tailor my support accordingly. Healthcare background • NICU volunteer experience • Adult & Pediatric CPR/AED/First Aid Certified • Safe Sleep Trained • Postpartum Doula Training in Progress • Experienced Overnight Newborn & Twin Care Provider

I hired Faith to be a night nanny for my newborn twins. Immediately I was very impressed by Faith's responsiveness and previous experience with overnight care for twins, as synchronized feeding and sleeping is essential. She arrived right on time and was so personable and easy to get to know, which made me feel more comfortable with having her take care of everything while I got some rest. She knew how to feed the twins using our Twin Z pillow and the importance of burping them and getting them back in their cribs to continue sleeping. She took great notes that were well organized and ready to share with me at the end of her shift. She also cleaned the used bottles and made sure everything was tidied in the nursery. I highly recommend her to anyone needing night nanny services, especially those with newborn twins/multiples.

Hidaly James

As a certified birth doula, I'm passionate about supporting families through the incredible journey of childbirth. Being bilingual in Spanish and English allows me to connect with a diverse range of clients, ensuring everyone feels understood and supported. As a Latina Mexican American, I’m deeply committed to reproductive justice and making sure that every birthing person, regardless of gender, feels safe and respected. My goal is to provide inclusive care that honors each person’s unique experience. When I’m not working, I’m a full-time mom who loves to volunteer and give back to the community. I have a special interest in human milk and chestfeeding, and I’m dedicated to helping parents navigate this important aspect of early parenting. I also enjoy educating parents on safe co-sleeping practices and cloth diapering. Additionally, I offer free emotional support for those considering or undergoing abortions, ensuring they have the compassionate care they need. If there’s something I don’t know, I’ll find the right expert for you. In my downtime, you can often find me enjoying a green tea matcha oat latte with lavender honey, my favorite treat. I’m all about creating a warm, welcoming environment where everyone feels valued and empowered.

Raven Carter Background checked · Oct 2026

Hi! I’m Raven, a career nanny with over 10 years of professional childcare experience. I’m also a birth and postpartum doula, night nanny, and currently working toward becoming a certified Newborn Care Specialist. Supporting children and families has truly become the heart of my career, and I’ve had the privilege of caring for children through many different ages, stages, and family transitions. My approach to childcare is centered around connection, respect, and meeting each child where they are developmentally and emotionally. I believe children deserve caregivers who make them feel safe, loved, understood, and confident being themselves. I love creating opportunities for learning through play, encouraging independence, and becoming a trusted and consistent part of a family’s village. I’m also the co-founder of The Heart State Nanny Agency, where I help connect families with professional nannies while advocating for the nanny industry and creating opportunities for education, training, and community. Continuing my own education is equally important to me, and throughout my career I’ve invested in trainings, conferences, and professional development to continue growing as a caregiver. Whether I’m supporting a family through the newborn stage, caring for growing children, or helping parents navigate their childcare needs, my goal is always the same: to provide thoughtful, dependable care while making both children and parents feel supported.

We had a wonderful experience with our night nanny Raven! She was incredibly helpful, attentive, and intuitive to our newborn’s needs. She seemed to know what was needed before we even had to ask, which made us feel so supported and at ease. Her care and attentiveness made such a difference during those early newborn days, and we’re so grateful for her help. I would absolutely recommend her to any family looking for compassionate, reliable newborn care!

Jess was our night doula for our third baby. We didn’t have a night doula for our first two babies so we weren’t entirely sure what to expect. Jess is kind, knowledgeable, loving, and so supportive. She helped me navigate my feeding journey and our daughter’s milk/soy allergy. She communicates with you the nights she’s coming to check in on how you and your baby are doing and provides help and guidance if you need on feeding, sleep, etc. I had postpartum depression with my first two kids and didn’t with my third, and I owe that all to Jess. I was able to sleep more and feel emotionally supported. She also loved our daughter and was very nurturing. I highly recommend her!
