Being a nanny, especially one who works with infants, is a privilege that I do not take lightly and I appreciate the chance to support families during this big change. Across my almost 10-year career, I have worked full-time in a daycare center and six private homes, primarily with newborns and toddlers. I find joy in creating spaces that engage my little ones, planning activities that incorporate all areas of children's development, and seeing the outcomes of those efforts. Outside of the traditional nanny role, I received my birth and post-partum certifications from DONA International in 2021. Since then, I have attended two births and continue to volunteer assisting families in need of support. In 2023 I completed my Newborn Care Specialist training via Newborn Care Solutions to deepen my understanding of newborns, especially those born prematurely and with additional medical needs

Jade has been an incredible advocate and support for my family. She was my son’s teacher and went above and beyond to ensure he had what he needed to thrive. Even years later, she continues to stay connected with us, which speaks to her genuine care and dedication. Although I haven’t worked with her directly in her doula role, I have every confidence that the same compassion, advocacy, and commitment she showed my family will make her an outstanding support to any parent or family she serves.

I had the most incredible experience working with Brigid as my birth and postpartum doula. From the moment we met, I knew I was in good hands. She exuded warmth, compassion, and expertise, making me feel supported and empowered throughout my journey. She was a calming presence, helped ease the tension with jokes and stories, provided unwavering support and encouragement every step of the way. She was there to advocate for me and helped me pick out items that my baby would need. When we brought our baby home, Brigid helped us around the home and reminded us to breathe. I loved how she reminded us that babies do not come with a manual and to trust our instincts. She helped with some newborn care, breastfeeding support , and emotional support during those challenging early days of parenthood. Her gentle guidance and reassurance helped me navigate the ups and downs of postpartum life with grace and resilience.

I've been professionally practicing as a birth and postpartum doula for seven years, with nearly double that time supporting family and friends. My belief in the innate power of birthing individuals guides me, as I aim to uplift what's already within them. Through a blend of training, experience, and holistic support, I see myself as your birth companion, enhancing existing support without replacing it.

As a doula, I not only bear witness to the birth of babies, but to the birth of parents. I watch in the background as parents harness their strength to unspeakable levels, welcoming the newest, littlest members of the family with emotions that swell and carry the room. As you draw from your inner core strength, physically and spiritually, I am in awe. And I recognize that you deserve continuous support services throughout the first year of your child’s life to ensure optimal outcomes for your beautiful family. Learn more about the principles that dictate Aila Birth Village by clicking here. Aila, pronounced I-la, means “from the strong place”. As such, I am committed to providing you with the support and resources you need to effectively build up your family. My expanded services now include antepartum support, birth support, postpartum support, childbirth education, breastfeeding education, infant sleep consultations, and even a special Back to Work planning program. I believe that you have a fundamental right to experience a beautiful birth as you define it. I recognize that this is a sacred, transformative time for you and your family, and I will treat it with authentic reverence. This means your feelings should be heard, your preferences should be honored, your reproductive rights respected, your heart protected, and your body enveloped with the love and support of your birth team. To this end, I provide you with evidence-based tools and resources that places you and your baby’s needs at the center. No matter the setting of birth - hospital, birthing center, or home birth – and no matter the type of birth – vaginal, c-section, or via surrogate - your birth can be empowering. My hope is that my support is virtuous and exemplary and this is reflected in how you feel during our time together.

Hi my name is Jess. I have always known that my gift is to help others heal. Being a doula is a manifestation of that. Birth work is a direct response to the injustice and disparities experienced by BIPOC in the US. And we all have the power to change that narrative. ​​ I look forward to healing with you.

Hello! My name is Shelby and I am a certified postpartum doula. I currently reside in a small town in Massachusetts, about 20 minutes from Providence, RI with my husband and two children. I have always loved babies and immediately jumped at the opportunity to become a doula when I found out I could help mothers with their newborns for a living! My goal is to not only assist with newborn care, but to support and empower women to be the best mothers they can be. I strive to provide a non- judgmental, compassionate, and evidence based approach in order to help you adjust to life with a newborn, navigate potential challenges, and support you through your postpartum recovery. Welcoming a newborn into your family is an incredibly special experience and I will do everything in my power to make your transition into motherhood/parenthood as seamless as possible. It takes a village to raise children and I am excited to have the opportunity to be a part of yours!
