*Currently only taking postpartum work Hello my name is Katherine, I'm a Postpartum Doula/Nanny/Herbalist/Artist. I've been working with Mothers, infants, and children nearly my entire life. This is not a job I have until I find what I really want to do, this is my life’s calling. I began babysitting at 9 years old, and went on to get a BA in Early Childhood Education followed by Postpartum Doula DONA certification. My life has been all about nurturing and caring for mothers, families, infants, and children. I have 2 children of my own ages 15 and 17. I'm currently looking for a part to full time doula/family support position. My job is to support the mother and family system so that they can bond with their infant. This looks like cooking nurturing foods, helping with lactation issues, nurturing mother, grocery shopping, light housecleaning, herbal support, and sibling care. I'm a Read more gentle and intuitive caregiver who gives full respect and attention to the families I'm working with. With my degree in Early Childhood Ed I bring the additional knowledge of infant/child development and age appropriate activity. Being a postpartum doula is exactly what I choose to do in this life and that will be evident through my work with your family. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have. Experience- *Postpartum Doula 13 years *Household manager 4+ years *Nanny 20+ years *After school program director YMCA New Mexico *Infant room Head Teacher 2 years

Katherine is amazing! She was our nanny for summer 2021, until we moved away from the area. She is nurturing, organized, responsive, and had a blast with our young toddler. She helped us with sleep, feeding, teething, and so much more. You would be incredibly lucky if she is a match for your household.
