Ann Arbor Doulas

Hi, I'm Brynne! I have my masters in Health Education. I am also a trained and experienced birth Douala, giving me experience not only with children ages 3-12, but also with newborns and infants. A birth Douala is well versed in the arts of pain relief, relaxation, and patience. I have my own car, am very skilled in housekeeping, comfortable with pets (I have 2 dogs and a cat), and am an amateur baker and chef and so can make enjoyable and creative meals for your children, as well as baking activities they can participate in. I am also a newborn, maternity, and birth photographer charging less than others!

Hi! My name is Zerah. I am 22 years old, a big sister to 8 siblings. I have been babysitting and nannying in the Ann Arbor area since I was 16 years old. I have cared for children from 3 months and up. I have also worked as an au pair in Guatemala and Belize. I have recently completed a doula training with DONA international and am offering my birth doula services at a discounted rate. I am patient, gentle and creative. I love to be outside and I love to cook. I love to get children involved in creative projects, make music, sing and dance, explore the outdoors and engage them in household chores like cleaning up and preparing simple meals.

I am a certified birth doula currently looking for one full day a week nanny position. (Monday) infants only. I have over 25 years of child care experience and 15 years of infant care. I'm have a 5-year-old myself and I'm ideally looking to be hired by a part time working new mother who is happy to bring her child to my home. This could be a day clear for you to run errands and perhaps even pamper yourself! When you come to pick up your child (south side of Ann Arbor) I will have a delicious meal of your choice prepared for you with ingredients you have provided. I have excellent references I would love to share with you! Being around little ones is very grounding to me, and keeps my sense of wonderment alive!

My name is Heather and I am a postpartum doula and experienced nanny. I have been working with children on and off for most of my life, from babysitting to camp counseling to working in a nursery and daycare and being a doula. I am passionate about working with kids, and my area of specialty is children under three. My friends would describe me as warm, compassionate, and 'that mom friend' who always has a bandaid or sunscreen in her purse and a shoulder to lean on. I pride myself on my work ethic and ability to connect to people, so for me finding the right fit is paramount. I am CPR and first aid certified, with training in infancy and newborn topics through my work as a postpartum doula. I have my own car with a clean driving record, I do not smoke, and I live in an apartment with my husband and our two cats. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have to make sure we are a great fit, and look forward to chatting more.

Hello! I am currently a graduate student in Conservation Ecology at U of M as well as a birth doula and crisis-line advocate for victims of domestic violence. I am incredibly passionate about working with kids and believe spending quality time with them is the best way to make the world a better place. I moved to Ann Arbor from Utah where I studied Biology and Chemistry at Westminster College. While getting my undergrad, I was a nanny for a small family and watched their baby from 3 months to 1. 5 years old. I have also been a nanny for several other families, peer mentor, lab technician, crisis advocate at a domestic violence shelters, and a camp counselor. My babysitting philosophy is to to emphasize education, empathy, patience, and awareness in every interaction.

I have been watching children for over 10 years - during the last five years I have worked in the capacity as an after school care provider, full time summer nanny, full time toddler-nanny, and full-time infant nanny. I have a BA from the University of Michigan in Anthropology and I am excited to begin a second degree BSN at EMU in the fall. I am a trained birth and postpartum doula and enjoy taking on those clients when my schedule allows. I have been based in Ann Arbor for nearly 10 years now and try to take advantage of all our city has to offer! When not at work, I enjoy gardening, walking to the farmer's market, spending time with my cat, and having friends over.

Hi there! I have been serving families in many capacities for 10+ years. I am trained as a postpartum doula and have extensive experience with newborns and infants, but I enjoy working with children of all ages. I am currently seeking a part-time position.

I have been in the child care field for over 20 years! For the past 20 months I have worked with the same family raising their twins. A few years ago I became a postpartum doula and worked for a family with premature twins. In addition to all of my paid experience, I am a mother of 7 1/2-year-old twin daughters.

I am a mother of five children ages 0-10. I have two little ones at home during the day and would love for them to enjoy the company of other little kids in a safe and trust-worthy environment. I am also a certified Childbirth educator and Doula with plenty of experiece with babies, children, and families. ~ enjoy baking, reading, and healthy lifestyles for healthy families!

As a graduate of the UM social work program I am very familiar with child development. I work as a doula so am very comfortable working with infants. I also have experience working as a camp counselor for ages 8-15 playing outside, making crafts, and other activities. Past clients have found me to be sensitive, creative, and energetic when working with their children.
