I like working with kids because I am the oldest of the 5 girls and I work in the hospitals in the pediatric float pool assisting the nurses and families. I have been working with children that have been in the nicu all the way up to teenagers. I started working with kids when I was in my teenage years, but I professionally started working when them while I was in college and I still am enrolled in college right now In my spare time, I like to find new hobbies, travel, and hang out with friends or family One thing you should know about me is I always go above and beyond to help people and that is my main goal with anything I do. My career in the end is to continue you helping people, which is why I'm working on getting my degrees is social work and nursing. My skills include customer service, working with elderly, and working with children. I have my CNA license in Michigan and Ohio, then I also have my phlebotomy license.

Hi I am Maria, and I came to doula work after working in childcare for 8 years. After spending time with parents who had relatively no postpartum care or support, I soon started my training to bridge that gap. I believe that the postpartum period is one of the most crucial stages of pregnancy. Many parents experience feelings of loneliness, confusion, and exhaustion and it is Maria’s top priority to help parents feel their best during your fourth trimester. Maria believes that every family who wants a doula should have one. Promoting a judgement free zone, she happily works with families and individuals of any age, race, & gender. Instilling confidence and nurturing a new family is what makes Maria excited to go to work every day. Maria has been trained as an EMT, birth and postpartum doula, certified lactation counselor, and is working on her IBCLC certification which she plans to finish by winter 2025.

I have worked with Maria for almost a year now and it has been the best decision for my family. I am a first time mom and only got 6 weeks of maternity leave before going back to work full time. Maria provided overnight support and it helped tremendously. She took over care for my son so that I could get a full nights sleep. I woke up to a happy baby, clean house, and was able to start the day off right. I absolutely recommend Maria to everyone!

I am a DONA-certified birth doula practicing in the Ann Arbor, MI area. I believe that doula support is a right, not a privilege, so my fees are nominal and my services are above and beyond. In addition to the usual DONA certification training, I am also trained through Survivor Moms and I also volunteer with the Michigan Prison Doula Initiative, in addition to my private practice. I have no time cut-off, so if your labor is moving slowly, I will stay with you all the way. I have been told that my kindness, compassion and ability to listen and advocate has been a godsend to many of my clients.

I am a passionate birth doula who is dedicated to helping mothers feel heard and in control of their pregnancy and birth by finding trust, strength, and empowerment through listening to the intuition we all have as mothers. My personal experiences of having a C-section, a miscarriage, and a VBAC have all encouraged me to help educate and support other women throughout their own journeys. My goal is for mother and partner to feel supported through prenatal education and confident in trusting their combined intuition to make the best decisions for their family in this life changing moment.

Hello! I'm Sydney Hough Solomon of Water Lily Sleep Consulting and I'm a certified child sleep consultant. I believe parents can have it all; a warm and nurturing relationship with their child and a full night's sleep. At Water Lily Sleep Consulting we follow a child's natural bodily rhythms, create strong routines, and work at your pace. Quality rest plays a major role in a child's mood, health, and development. I think it's important to remember that parents are human, and in order to be present and engaged with their children they need sleep too!

I am a birth and postpartum doula who loves working with new families as they grow and develop! When it comes to birth, I believe each person labors and births in their own unique way, and I want to discover what the birth process looks like for you. I believe the postpartum period is a time of rest, healing, and bonding for new parents, and I lovingly support that process in your home. When I'm not doula-ing, I enjoy reading, yoga, and spending time outside.

When it comes to the birth space, my goal is to support you in any of your choices, even if they change. I focus on inclusivity (I work towards anti-racism, anti-transphobia, anti-fatphobia, and disability visibility). I am an advocate and guardian in the birth space. I have a lot of passions and interests and have books on everything from rain, moss, clouds, pregnancy, birth, parenting, and death. when I am your Doula, I’m your friend. Not only do I provide comfort and knowledge, but I’m also here for you to confide in, talk things through, and laugh with! Sometimes I’m witchy, sometimes I’m crunchy, sometimes I’m basic, sometimes I’m punky. That’s me!

I can’t recommend Jill and Happy Kiddos OT enough! I attended one of her baby play classes and was blown away... She created such a fun, engaging environment that made me feel confident as a parent while supporting my baby’s development. Jill also went above and beyond to help me with baby-led weaning, offering practical tips and personalized advice that took all the guesswork out of the process. Her passion for empowering parents and nurturing kids shines through everything she does.
