We are incredibly grateful for Kyla and the support she provided during our postpartum journey. Kyla was calm, compassionate, and knowledgeable, which immediately put us at ease as new parents. Kyla provided overnight postpartum support, helping us rest while ensuring our baby was cared for with patience and attentiveness. Kyla supported feeding, soothing, routines, and early milestones while also checking in emotionally and making postpartum recovery feel less overwhelming. As our needs changed, Kyla transitioned seamlessly into a nanny role, continuing to provide consistent, nurturing care. Kyla’s doula background truly sets her apart, and we would highly recommend Kyla to any family looking for a dependable and supportive doula or nanny.

As an infant to early childhood nanny, it has been my complete joy to witness parents blossom fully into their roles as loving, foundational caregivers for their children. In my time as a doula, that joy has increased tenfold as I have been able to witness the exact moment that this unconditional love and care is born. The birth of a new human is remarkable, but the birth of parents should be held and cherished just as thoughtfully and deeply. My philosophy as a doula is whole-family care; we got us, we take care of us by taking care of each other. I'd love to be a part of your journey whether you're adding your first or your tenth to your family. Sliding scale rates available: Birth $800-$1200 Postpartum $30-$35/hr

Hi! I am Rebecca Stiglitz from Bolingbook, IL. I started my postpartum doula journey when I lost my teaching job due to my school closing. As a postpartum doula, I am blessed to mother the mother. My job is to take care of you first, the baby second, and then the rest of the family. Think of me as your best friend that comes in and gets right to work. I believe that mom needs rest and if mom is well rested, the family will be at peace.

We are so grateful Rebecca and the care she provided for our newborn and toddler. She brought a calm, supportive presence that made our transition so much smoother. She was incredibly knowledgeable with our newborn and so thoughtful and engaging with our toddler, helping everyone feel secure and cared for. Her support made a huge difference during our postpartum period, and we truly couldn’t have done it without her. Highly recommend.

Yvette was an absolute lifesaver for our family during a challenging time. She provided overnight support for several weeks while I recovered from major surgery, caring for both our newborn and toddler with exceptional professionalism and warmth. Yvette’s knowledge, experience, and nurturing presence gave us peace of mind, allowing us to rest and focus on healing. In addition to her outstanding care for our children, Yvette went above and beyond by helping with light housework and chores, ensuring that our home stayed organized and comfortable. Her attention to detail and willingness to step in wherever needed made a tremendous difference during such a stressful period. We are incredibly grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to any family in need of compassionate, reliable, and thorough care.

Hi! I'm Cheyanna Warren, a birth doula who's been loving on moms for 3 years! I'm 25 and Wisconsin-born and raised. I have a wonderful Husband, Kyle, and together we have two boys, Wyatt and Mason. I always knew I belonged somewhere in the birth world, but I wasn't sure where, until I was introduced to the idea of being a doula, and that's when I knew this is where I was meant to be! Helping Moms achieve a positive birth experience is such a passion of mine. I pride myself on the relationships I build with my families. I believe the first step in creating a safe birth space is to have full trust and comfort with those in your birthing journey. To achieve this, I take away that typical doula client "standard" and create a true lasting friendship so you know you can feel supported in a judgment-free zone! When I'm not attending Happy birthday parties, you'll find me playing with my kiddos, cooking, or watching reality TV!

At Stateline Birth Keepers, our goal is to support and empower families through life's most transformative experiences. Founded in 2024, we combine our unique experiences and expertise to provide compassionate, personalized care. We recognize that pregnancy, birth, and postpartum are deeply personal and emotional journeys, not just medical events. By pooling our skills, we offer holistic care that addresses the physical, emotional, and informational needs of the families we serve in Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin. My journey into birth work began in 2015 when I was supported during my son's birth by a doula. Inspired, I pursued certification and have since worked with diverse families in various settings across four states. As a mom of two earth side kids, one angel baby, I have personal experience with breastfeeding, cloth diapering, babywearing, and baby-led weaning. My son was born in a hospital with a failed epidural, and my daughter had a dramatic, unassisted yet absolutely beautiful home birth. Passionate about self care, my specialty and focus space is overnight newborn care support. I work with non-traditional families, and assist with trauma healing, I support single parents, LGBTQIA+, many different families with a variety of spiritual beliefs, supporting families through pregnancy losses, terminal diagnoses, stillbirths, and chosen losses. An adoptee myself, I also support adoption processes. Outside of Stateline Birth Keepers, I advocate for local foster youth, coach youth sports, and engage in the public educational system. I enjoy outdoor activities like camping, hiking, and paddle boarding, and I also enjoy crafting and thrifting during colder weather. Life’s an adventure, and I embrace every moment with a big smile and an open heart. I look forward to being a part of your unique and beautiful journey.
