Hi there, I am a home birth midwife who has been practicing since 2011. I have recently relocated from South Florida and have opened my availability to serve families in need of a birth doula, postpartum doula, lactation assistance and more while my home birth practice builds up in a new state. In my home birth practice I offer water birth, 70% of my clients choose to give birth in the water). You have freedom to labor and birth in any position you want, you are encouraged to eat and drink in labor, any decisions during your prenatal, birth and postpartum care are up to you. I can hep guide you but you are welcome to refuse almost anything in my care. This is your birth! I have extensive experience with breastfeeding, twins, newborns, etc. I love nurturing and educating families during pregnancy and the postpartum period. This time can be confusing for new parents but having someone to answer questions and provide support is crucial to making this an empowering experience. I’d love to be able to work with your family if we are a good fit. Feel free to reach out, I love to give information over the phone and offer complimentary, in person consultations.

Christa was my daughter’s midwife in Clarksville, TN. I was present at the birth and was very impressed by Christa’s knowledge and experience. She was very professional and thorough with all her checks and was always super thorough even taking notes throughout the labor process. She had a very calm demeanor throughout the entire process and offered so many different helpful techniques and positions that really made everyone feel like everything was under control. Even at the end when things weren’t progressing as they should she immediately moved into action knew just what to do so my precious grandson was born safely and healthy at home. I personally have had 6 children at home and have watched other midwife’s work during my friend’s labor and I will put Christa at the top of that list for someone you can definitely trust to give you a safe home birth that’s tailored to you and your family. I cannot say enough good things about her! She was simply amazing and I’m so thankful that she was the one that my daughter found to attend her birth! Thank you Christa!

Hey there! My name is Emily Vanderoef and I’m a Certified Birth Doula. Whether you got here by accident or on purpose, I’m so glad you have taken time to read this! Hiring a doula is no small thing and I am honored by your consideration! My passion for women's health and birth stems from my personal experiences and observations. Over the years, I have witnessed the beauty and natural process of childbirth. Having first been present for the births of several friends and family members. It was this, that inspired me to deepen my knowledge and skills. This led me to pursue my certification as a doula, so that I could support and guide expecting mothers all over, through this transformative, magical journey. I believe that every woman deserves to have an empowering birth experience, and I am dedicated to providing the compassionate care and assistance to make that a reality. My passion is for helping others on their own unique path to motherhood.

Emily has been an absolute blessing as our newborn’s night nurse and doula. Her tender, caring and reassuring nature gave us complete peace of mind during this special but exhausting time. Emily is incredibly accommodating, tailoring her care to meet both our baby’s and family’s needs, and her calming presence brought comfort to our entire household. We’ve already recommended her to other families, who’ve shared equally glowing feedback about their experiences with her. Emily truly goes above and beyond, and we’re so grateful for her support!

If you need any help with your family - I'm your girl! I have over a decade of experience ranging from babysitting, full time nannying, household management, personal assisting, and pet care (dogs, cats, fish, chickens, horses, bunnies - you name it!) to errands, chores, transportation to/from activities, organization, cleaning, meal prep and more. I nannied and assisted HNW families in the Savannah GA area for 5 years during college. During this time I had a lot of early mornings and late nights caring for kiddos and pets, completing random jobs around the house and running lots of errands for my clients. After moving to Nashville 4 years ago, I continued caring for and assisting HNW families in Middle TN alongside my full time job. I was determined to grow my network of families like I did in Savannah and it worked! I've found myself doing kitchen and closet organization, caring for special needs animals and children, helping with potty training, sleep training, introduction to solids, breastfeeding and everything in between. In high school I also worked as a teacher at a Montessori-type day care and preschool in the Greater NYC area. While there I worked primarily with ages 1-2yrs and completed multiple trainings including: CPR, First Aid, Child Development, Baby Sign Language, and Behavior Management. Over the years I've worked events, birthday parties, summer camps, served in kid's ministry, led a middle school small group and served as a Young Life leader. And on top of it ALL I have the privilege of loving on my newborn nephew and helping my special needs father when I visit home & taking care of my dog, Theo, for almost a year now! I'm 27yrs old with 12 years of experience in family care & 4 years of experience in production management. I have a Bachelor's degree, safe transportation, and NEVER partake in smoking or recreational drugs of any kind. I've been described as organized, clean (maybe a little Type A), energetic, personable, and detail oriented. I can't wait to learn more about you and build a special bond with another amazing family!

Emily cared for our two children, ages 1 and 4, for four years while attending our local university, and during that time she became so much more than a babysitter — she became an important part of our family. From the very beginning, Emily demonstrated an incredible level of responsibility, patience, and attentiveness. We always felt completely confident leaving our children in her care, knowing they were safe, loved, and well cared for. Emily is capable, dependable, and incredibly thoughtful in every aspect of caregiving. She safely provided transportation for our children when needed, prepared meals, and even helped care for our pets. She handled every responsibility with maturity and attention to detail, making our busy family life run more smoothly. What truly sets Emily apart is the energy and warmth she brings into a home. She creates a fun, supportive, and safe environment while still maintaining structure and reliability. She brought so much joy to our children’s lives and gave us tremendous peace of mind as parents. Our children absolutely adore her, and the bond they formed with her is something we will always cherish. Emily’s kindness, reliability, and natural ability with children are truly exceptional. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her caring for their children. She will forever hold a special place in our hearts and remain a part of our family.

Aileana Pitts

Hello! My name is Ailena, and I am a dedicated and nurturing caregiver with over 2 years of professional nanny experience, including caring for infants with special medical needs. In addition, I have 5+ years of babysitting experience across different ages, which has given me a strong foundation in supporting children through each stage of development. I am certified in CPR and First Aid, and I take safety and attentiveness very seriously. In my previous roles, I have provided not only loving care but also help with daily routines such as feeding, diapering, sleep schedules, and gentle preschool activities. I am also comfortable with light cooking, cleaning, transportation, and ever overnight care when needed. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and supportive environment for newborns while also giving parents peace of mind. I truly enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with families and feel honored to be a part of a child's earliest milestones. I would love to connect and see how I can best support your family!

We are beyond grateful for Aileana and the incredible impact she has had on our family of four children (ages 11, 10, 4, and 2). From the very beginning, she has shown an extraordinary ability to balance the unique needs of each of our kids, meeting them exactly where they are in their stages of life. She has been so much more than just “help with the kids” — she has become a trusted partner in their growth. With our older two, she encourages independence, responsibility, and kindness, while keeping them engaged in their daily routines and schoolwork. With our little ones, she is endlessly patient and nurturing, always creating fun, educational activities that help them learn and grow. It is amazing to see how each of our children has thrived under her care. On top of her attentiveness with the kids, she consistently goes above and beyond with day-to-day household tasks. Whether it’s tidying up, helping keep schedules running smoothly, or just anticipating needs before we even mention them, she makes our lives so much easier. She is punctual, dependable, trustworthy, and has a natural ability to bring calm and structure to even the busiest of days. What stands out most is her heart. She genuinely loves our children and treats them as if they were her own. Knowing that our kids are safe, cared for, and happy in her presence gives us such peace of mind. We could not ask for anyone better, and we feel truly blessed to have her as part of our family. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. She is an absolute treasure!

As a postpartum doula, I, Jana, am dedicated to helping new parents get much-needed restful nights while caring for their newborns. With genuine passion, I form meaningful connections and find joy in witnessing parents experience rejuvenating sleep, empowering them for the day ahead. My journey as a doula began after realizing my calling extended beyond the classroom, where I worked as an infant teacher for years. I provide emotional and physical support, tailoring my approach to each family. Operating in Franklin and nearby areas, my philosophy centers around nonjudgmental assistance, leaving families with a deep sense of worth and the belief that they can overcome challenges. By reducing stress, I enable mothers to prioritize self-care and bonding with their baby. Think of sleep as a valuable resource that needs to be replenished to help you function at your best. I am here to provide the assistance you need

I can’t say enough positive things about Jana. Both of my children adore her. She is passionate about children and it shows in the way she cares for them. She was my postpartum doula after the birth of my son and I can’t imagine having gone through that experience without her!!!! It’s incredibly important to get rest during that time but for me it was even more important to have peace of mind that whomever was taking care of my son at night was the best of the best! So grateful for Jana!

Gloria Gonzalez

Hi, I’m Gloria, a certified birth and postpartum doula and the founder of Little Gems Doula Services. My journey began in 2019 after a traumatic birth experience that left me feeling broken and confused. When I found out I was expecting our second child in 2022, I was excited but also terrified of repeating my first experience. Seeking support, I researched my options and decided I needed a doula. My doula not only helped me process my first birth but also guided me in healing and preparing me and my partner for our second birth experience. Thanks to her support, I entered my second birth feeling empowered, educated, and safer than I ever anticipated. My second birth story was powerful, healing, and redemptive. Having personally experienced the transformative power of doula support, I realized that this was my true passion and calling. I pursued certification and attended my first birth later that same year. As a dedicated doula, my mission is to offer compassionate, non-judgmental, and personalized support to families throughout their childbirth journey. I strive to empower moms by providing physical, emotional, and informational assistance, creating a safe, nurturing environment where their voices are heard and respected. Through education, advocacy, and continuous encouragement, I aim to help families experience a positive, informed, and transformative birth experience that honors their unique needs and choices every step of the way.

I cannot recommend Gloria enough. From the very beginning, she was empowering, informative, and such a calming presence throughout my pregnancy and birth experience. She provided me with the knowledge and resources I needed to feel confident in my choices and always made sure I understood every option available. During labor, she advocated for me beautifully, ensuring my voice was heard and respected. Her support—both emotional and physical—made an incredible difference and helped me feel strong and capable throughout the entire process. I am so grateful to have had her by my side and truly believe my birth experience was more positive and empowering because of her. I feel as though our hearts are forever linked!
