Meet Your ProDoula
Background/Experience that you think is beneficial to Doula work: I am a mom of five; when I brought baby number five home I had five children under that age of seven. Life was crazy, but it's the only life I know. I have been a stay at home mom since we brought our first child home, but have also worked from home for over three years. I am good at juggling - it seems the crazier life is the calmer I am. I like to find solutions that promote ease; whether it's meal planning or scheduling family outings where all ages are enjoying themselves, I like to plan the whole picture. Having five children I have seen a lot and been through a lot; now I'm ready to share what I know with others and hopefully make the transition home with baby a little easier.
What led you to become a Doula?: I love children; they bring me joy. A crying baby never upsets or irritates me, I just want to help calm him/her and ease whatever is upsetting them. I grew up in my grandmother's daycare - over 25 children at one time! Then God blessed me with five of my own; I just want to use the knowledge and skills I have to help others.
