KELLY CARTER
Postpartum Doula & Newborn Care Specialist
POSTPARTUM DOULA
The early weeks are a blur. I show up, help with your baby, support your recovery, and make sure you actually eat and sleep. Think of me as your postpartum teammate. What this includes: hands-on newborn care, feeding support (breastfeeding, bottle, pumping, or combination), postpartum recovery guidance, emotional support, light housework (dishes, laundry, tidying), simple meal prep, and unlimited phone and text support between visits.
WHAT A SHIFT LOOKS LIKE
It depends on what your family needs. For nighttime shifts, I arrive in the evening, take full responsibility for your baby through the night, and hand off in the morning with a summary and care log. For daytime or evening shifts, we focus on whatever's most helpful: hands-on baby care, feeding support, parent education, recovery time for you, or light housework. Shifts run 8-12 hours within my available window of 5 PM to 11 AM.
Sample Schedules
Full Night
10 PM – 7 AM (9 hrs)
I take over all baby care so you can sleep through the night.

Extra time for evening education, bedtime routines, or feeding guidance.
Night & Morning

Support that extends into the morning for feeding, sibling routines, or easing into the day.
