Katie helped me out after I gave birth. She was extremely helpful and made me feel super comfortable leaving her with my baby and getting stuff done around the house. She had him asleep and relaxed in her arms which helped this stressed out momma. I highly recommend her!

Katie cared for our son from the time he was 3 months to over a year old. She has an amazing natural way with children. She was the first person we ever left him with and it was incredible how confident we always felt from day one. She’s so knowledgeable, capable, sweet, loving and kind. Having had a postpartum doula with both of my babies, I know first hand the incredible value they provide, and I have no doubt Katie will be one of the best there is.
