Midwives & Home Birth Midwives Near Me in Red Deer, AB

Hello everyone, I am a certifying Birth a Postpartum Doula that serves Central Alberta but located in Sylvan Lake. I decided to become a Doula so I can help support people giving birth and reduce the rate of traumatic birth experiences and postpartum depression. I'd love to help support you though this beautiful and transformative journey.

My name is Mary Harder, and my passion is to serve families during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I have a deep commitment to creating positive birth experiences by empowering families through education, informed decision making, advocacy, and compassionate care. My journey as a birth worker began in 2017 where I attended the National College of Midwifery in Davao City, The Philippines. Working in a small birth centre, I was privileged to attend 100+ births in 2.5 years. My time there fully cemented my passion in caring for women and families through the most transformative time in life. In 2023, I gave birth to my first daughter. Experiencing my own birth further made me realize the profound impact that compassionate care and advocacy has on a birth experience. These experiences have equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of the physical, emotional, and informational needs of expecting parents. My commitment is to provide unwavering support through the childbirth journey. I honor and respect each family’s unique journey, supporting their choices and providing evidence based information to help them make informed decisions. I care deeply to create a safe and nurturing environment where families feel empowered, supported, and heard. My services include: -childbirth education -prenatal support -birth doula services -postpartum & newborn education

Childcare and working with families has been my career for over thirteen years. Since 2011, I have had the privilege of supporting a wide range of families, caring for children from newborns to twelve years of age in both private homes and early years settings. Alongside my childcare career, I am currently completing my certifications as a birth and postpartum doula and child sleep consultant, and I am also studying to become a birth and lactation coach. These areas of study allow me to further expand my knowledge of pregnancy, birth, postpartum adjustment, infant development, breastfeeding and lactation, responsive sleep, and family support. I am passionate about supporting families through the many stages of parenthood, from the early newborn days through childhood. Along the way, I have intentionally sought opportunities that have broadened my experience, from private nanny positions and family support roles to early childhood education, leadership, and operating my own licensed childcare business. My approach is centered on providing calm, consistent, and emotionally responsive care. I believe children flourish when they feel genuinely seen, safe, and respected, and I strive to create environments where they can develop confidence, independence, social skills, curiosity, and resilience. My practice is informed by attachment theory and trauma informed principles, always recognizing that every child is unique and deserves care that reflects their individual needs and family values. My experience includes caring for infants, toddlers, school aged children, twins, siblings, and groups of up to 24 children, as well as supporting children with additional physical, developmental, emotional, and behavioural needs. I am equally comfortable managing the changing routines of a busy household as I am planning enriching activities, supporting school readiness, encouraging outdoor exploration, or providing a quiet, reassuring presence during more challenging moments. Alongside childcare, I take pride in contributing to the smooth running of a family home. I am experienced with meal preparation, wardrobe management, laundry, organization, appointment scheduling, school runs, errands, travel preparation, and maintaining tidy, welcoming spaces. I am confident accommodating vegan, vegetarian, dairy free, and allergy conscious diets. I hold a degree in Child Development and remain committed to continuing my professional development. I maintain my First Aid and CPR certification, have completed training in childcare administration, allergy awareness, and the BC Early Learning Framework (known as the FLIGHT curriculum in Alberta), and actively seek opportunities to continue learning throughout my career. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, swimming, reading, dancing, and arts and crafts. These are activities I enjoy sharing with children, whether that means spending time outdoors, discovering new books, or testing out new ways to be creative. Above all, I understand the importance of safety, trust, discretion, and reliability. I am a non smoker, fluent in both English and Spanish, have a reliable vehicle and a clean driving record, am comfortable travelling with families, experienced caring for pets, and at ease working within professionally managed households, including those with security systems and in-home cameras. My goal is to become a dependable person who supports both children and the household with warmth, professionalism, and care.
