About Shawn
Being a mother of two changed me forever — it gave me a depth of patience, a fiercer kind of love, and a new way of seeing the world through tiny, wondering eyes. That transformation is what I bring into my work with infants every day. I believe babies learn by exploring, and my role is to be their guide: creating space for discovery while surrounding them with the warmth and consistency they need to thrive. I care for every child the way I'd want my own cared for. I feel, in the truest sense, that I am a mother to all — and I would be honored to extend that love to your family.

What to expect
You’ve stepped into one of the most beautiful, exhausting, overwhelming, and joyful seasons of your life—and you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m Shawn, a Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care Specialist, as well as a mother of two. I understand how much love, patience, reassurance, and hands-on support this season requires. My care is centered around your entire family because welcoming a new baby is a major adjustment for everyone. **Postpartum Doula Support** As your postpartum doula, I’m here to care for you as well as your baby. Emotional support is one of the most important parts of the care I provide. I offer a calm, judgment-free space where you can ask questions, share concerns, and receive gentle reassurance. I also provide feeding support, newborn education, recovery encouragement, and practical help with baby-related tasks. **Newborn Care Specialist Services** I provide attentive, knowledgeable newborn care tailored to your baby’s individual needs and your family’s preferences. This may include feedings, diaper changes, burping, soothing, swaddling, safe-sleep practices, routine development, bottle and pump-part washing, light baby laundry, and overnight logs. I also have experience caring for twins and multiples. **Full-Time and Part-Time Daytime Care** Whether you’re returning to work, attending appointments, spending time with your other children, or simply needing an extra set of capable hands, I provide dependable daytime care built around your baby’s natural rhythm. Every feeding, nap, and cuddle is handled with patience and intention. **Overnight Care** Overnight care allows you to get meaningful rest while knowing your baby is nearby and being lovingly cared for. I handle bottle-feeding, diaper changes, burping, soothing, and settling throughout the night. If you’re breastfeeding, I’ll bring your baby to you for nursing so you can remain comfortable in bed. Once the feeding is complete, I’ll take over the burping, changing, and settling so you can return to sleep as quickly as possible. **Parent Education and Support** New parenthood often comes with more questions than answers. I’m here to help you understand your baby’s cues, become more comfortable with newborn care, and build routines that feel natural for your family. My goal is never to take over, but to support you, encourage you, and help you feel confident in your own instincts. My rates start at $30 per hour, depending on your family’s schedule and care needs. I’m always happy to talk through the details and create a plan that feels supportive for your family. I would love the opportunity to connect and learn more about you and your little one.

Shawn has been wonderful with our 4-month-old daughter. She’s responsive, punctual, flexible with scheduling, and very experienced with infants. Lucky to have found her!

Shawn watched our 11 month old daughter while we were in Charleston for a vacation weekend. As a new mom and unfamiliar with the area, Shawn made me feel very secure and comfortable. She sent me her references who I contacted and had glowing reviews of Shawn’s thoughtful and compassionate care. She’s a newborn to baby expert for sure and has children of her own! She has the nurturing caregiving touch, it’s obvious when you meet her. Our daughter immediately took to her. What a gift.

Shawn was an absolute blessing to our family when we brought our twin boys home. As first time parents of newborns, we were exhausted and overwhelmed, and Shawn came in and gave us exactly what we needed — peace of mind and a full night's sleep. Her experience with newborns was evident from day one. She was calm, confident, and incredibly nurturing with our boys, handling every feeding, diaper change, and fussy moment with ease and grace. We always woke up to two happy, settled babies and detailed notes on how the night went. Beyond her skill and expertise, Shawn genuinely cared about our sons as if they were her own. That is not something you can teach — it is just who she is. If you are a parent of newborns or multiples looking for overnight support, look no further. Shawn is experienced, dependable, compassionate, and truly one of a kind. We could not have survived those early months without her. Ten out of ten — our twin boys adore her, and so do we. 🌟

She is an exceptional mother and a dedicated friend who consistently goes above and beyond to ensure others feel comfortable, supported, and cared for.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a Postpartum Doula and a Newborn Care Specialist?
A Postpartum Doula focuses on supporting you and your entire family after birth through emotional support, feeding guidance, newborn education, reassurance, and practical help during recovery.
A Newborn Care Specialist focuses more closely on your baby’s individual care, including feedings, diaper changes, soothing, safe-sleep practices, newborn routines, and overnight support.
Because I provide both services, you don’t have to choose between caring for yourself and receiving knowledgeable care for your baby. I’m there to support both of you, helping your family feel more rested, confident, and nurtured.
