Shannon Burns - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Shannon

It takes a village to raise a child, and I would love to be a part of yours! My name is Shannon and I am a Long Island-based Postpartum Doula with a lifelong passion for supporting children and families. Before becoming a Doula, I worked as a private nanny, an infant teacher, a teacher’s assistant in a school serving children with special needs, experiences that deeply shaped my child-centered approach. I have also taught dance classes, led summer camps, and facilitated a variety of youth programs, giving me a broad and nurturing understanding of child development. This diverse background allows me to support families with confidence, patience, and care during the postpartum period. **CPR & AED CERTIFIED**

I have had the privilege of having Shannon care for my son, and I cannot say enough about the love, warmth, and support she brings into our home. She is incredibly nurturing, intuitive, and emotionally supportive. She has a calm, reassuring presence and is deeply attentive to both my son’s needs and mine as a mother. Shannon is highly responsible and responsive. She communicates openly and respectfully, and I always feel heard and supported. Any family would be lucky to have her by their side during pregnancy, birth, or postpartum.

Shannon is always the biggest help ever as a busy mom! Anytime I need someone to watch my almost one year old daughter, Shannon comes to mind first. She’s responsible, clean, kind and great with my daughter. She’s someone I’ll forever trust!

Shannon is amazing!! She watched my daughter 10 years ago and is now watching my 9 month old!! I always recommend her and her phenomenal work. She truly is so amazing with children, I never worry if Shannon is here whether it be because I'm working or want a date night. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.
