Find a Night Nanny Near Me in Mankato, MN

Helping a family welcome their little ones into the world is the most rewarding work! I was a former L&D nurse, in one of the Twin Cities most acute care settings, when I had to make decision to leave the bedside and prioritize my family's needs. Now I'm back and chose to return to birth work as a birth doula and lactation consultant. I started DoulaCare Minnesota so that I can use my years of clinical, training and business experiences to create a community that is respectful, supportive and empowering to families of types. Our motto is YOUR BIRTH EXPERIENCE. YOUR WAY. I would love to support you in creating your joyful birth story.

I have always been drawn to newborns, infants, children of all ages, and their families. There is a richness in family life that always brings about such a great sense of wonder and awe. There is a way a baby or toddler looks back at you and you know they don’t care what color your hair is, how many wrinkles you have, if you are overweight, underweight, or have zero sense of style. They just know how to LOVE. It is that unconditional love and trust in a baby’s eyes that instilled a strong desire in my heart to protect this innocence and trust by providing families with care providers they could trust. Care that is always gentle, loving, slowly paced, curious, and joyful. We want to bring this into your home.

Hello, my name is Karen McMahon, and I have been a Postpartum Doula for over 28 years in the Minneapolis / St. Paul metro area. I am passionate about moms, babies, and everything postpartum - striving to make coming home with your new baby a smooth transition, filled with joy, peace, and restfulness. My goal is to provide compassionate and thoughtful care tailored to your specific needs. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my adult children, playing outdoors with my Shih Tzu, and exploring the Northern Minnesota outdoors with my husband.

My passion is helping families thrive in the fourth trimester and I believe it is sacred work. I love teaching and modeling evidence-based care for newborns and the birthing person to all members of the family. I enjoy completing practical tasks around your home so you can focus on your recovery, your baby, and one another.

Hi! I’m Annika and I am excited to support you through your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. For as long as I can remember I have been fascinated by pregnancy and birth and I took many opportunities to explore this interest further during my time as a student at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University. I currently serve as a Public Health Project Coordinator for Scott County, working to promote healthy families. I truly believe that the start to every healthy family is birth, and every family deserves a beautiful and empowering experience, whatever that looks like to them. My goal is to best prepare you through your pregnancy so you have the best chance of having your ideal birth. I will help ensure that you are well informed so you can be your best advocate, and I will advocate for you when I’m asked. My care is comprehensive, evidence based, and rooted in the multitude of education I have received, which is ever ongoing. I hope to build a connection with you and your family that will last long after your birth. I cannot wait to meet you! I serve the West Metro area of the Twin Cities.
