Our Sibling Doulas provide dedicated, compassionate care to children during the birthing process and postpartum period. Unlike a babysitter, a sibling doula not only ensures that your children are safe and well cared for, she is also trained in labor and postpartum support, they understand the joys, challenges, and complexities growing families face and they are prepared to help make the transition as smooth as possible for the whole family.  Our sibling doulas will be there for your children every step of the way, offering emotional support, and encouraging excitement and as she helps older children prepare for and bond with their new sibling. As you your family expands, your sibling doula will be there to support the whole family as she creates a nurturing environment tailored to your child's unique needs so that they feel included and deeply valued as their world changes and grows.

Welcoming a new baby is an exciting and special time, but we know it can also bring big emotions for parents and older siblings. That’s why our sibling doulas are here—to provide gentle, Christ-centered support that reassures and comforts your little ones while you focus on birth.

​

Whether at home, a birth center, or in a hospital setting, we keep siblings engaged with age-appropriate activities, play, and encouragement, helping them feel secure and included in this special transition.

​

With heartfelt prayers, patience, and nurturing care, we create a peaceful, joy-filled atmosphere where your children feel loved and supported every step of the way.

You can rest easy knowing that as you welcome new life into your family, your older children are being cared for with the same warmth and attention you would give them yourself.

Let us walk alongside your family in this sacred season, offering the peace of mind and extra hands you need.

As you focus on healing, bonding, and finding a new rhythm, it’s natural to wonder how your other little ones will handle the transition.

That’s where we come in.

​

With a warm heart and gentle hands, our sibling doulas offer personalized support, making sure your older children feel just as cherished and included as ever. We keep them engaged with play, stories, and special activities while also helping them find their own sweet ways to bond with the baby.

 

Beyond emotional support, we also help with the daily tasks that come with caring for young children like preparing simple meals, tidying up play areas, assisting with routines like nap time and bedtime, and ensuring their needs are met so that you can focus on rest and recovery.

​

Whether it’s holding space for big emotions, offering a reassuring presence, or simply giving them the extra attention they need, we’re here to make this transition feel smooth and joy-filled for everyone. You don’t have to do this alone. Let us be part of your village, bringing peace, encouragement, and an extra set of hands so your whole family feels supported in this special season.
