Queen City Doulas and Kaitlyn Foster came highly recommended! When I was in the early stages of pregnancy and planning for this next stage of life, I knew that having support, especially at nighttime, would be so critical. Kaitlyn was incredibly responsive, kind, and helped me understand the ways in which a postpartum nighttime doula could support on the journey. She then provided several options for potential doula matches. We were lucky enough to match with Jodi Kinney Davis! Jodi has been an absolutely critical part of my postpartum journey and my newborn’s first few months of life. She has supported us for 2-3 nights a week from 3 weeks to 12 weeks. Jodi brings immediate joy to our house every night she arrives and we always know our little one is in great hands, while Jodi allows us to catch up on sleep. She provides detailed reports on the evening and we work together to troubleshoot things like sleep regression or feeding challenges - her insight is always incredibly valuable. Throughout Jodi’s support, we have done both breastfeeding and bottle feeding. Jodi is always flexible to what we feel is best for our daughter and supports us every step of the way. We are already sad thinking of our time with Jodi as our doula coming to an end, but are grateful that we have made a lifetime friend. I can’t thank Queen City Doulas enough for making it possible! If I could give Jodi and Queen City Doulas 6 stars, I would!

We booked a postpartum night doula very last minute, and the process was easy. The doula we were paired with, Kelsey, was wonderful - calm, knowledgeable, flexible and competent. We got some rest knowing the newborn was in good hands. Based on our experience I recommend the company and Kelsey to anyone who is considering a postpartum night doula!

Sandra Mazlagic March 17, 2025

I cannot express how grateful I am for Queen City Doulas. It starts with Kaitlyn who heard the desperation in my voice and set us up with night support a day later! She is always very responsive and does everything in her power to help!.. and Valerie is incredible and was so good with our son over the past several months. She allowed my husband and I to catch up on much-needed sleep and has a special way with newborns. As soon as she came into our home, Leo was sleeping better. She has been a true blessing and made this chaotic journey of motherhood a little bit easier and a lot more joyful. Thank you so much, Valerie!.. we will be in touch for future needs 🙂

Danielle Levine March 10, 2025

Queen City Doulas saved our lives for a couple of months! Meg not only allowed us to finally get some sleep, but she became part of our family as well. We will forever be grateful for QCD!

Liz Howell March 3, 2025

Cannot recommend Queen City Doulas enough. From our very first interaction with Kaitlyn, I felt taken care of and supported with my last minute decision to explore a postpartum doula! We were so lucky to have Jenny match with us as our family grew by one more. Jenny helped with my biggest goal - to get more sleep! However she did so much more than that. Always asking if there was anything else we needed help with (laundry was completed and kitchen was always cleaned) all while ensuring our sweet baby was cared for while I caught up on my sleep or had 1x1 time with my toddler. Jenny also helped support me with my sleep and my feeding goals for baby. My postpartum experience was completely different due to the support of Jenny this time around and I cannot recommend her and a postpartum Doula enough!

We were lucky enough to have postpartum support and care from Suzanne and she was absolutely incredible. I'm a first-time mom and we don't have any family in the area so Suzanne was a vital part of our lives during the early weeks. Her presence was so calming, soothing and comforting - she felt like part of the family immediately. She took care of me, and my husband, and also taught me so much about how to care for our newborn son. She also helped us with things like cooking, laundry, etc., and made herself available for calls and questions on days off. She's such a gem and special person and I'd highly recommend her to anyone. We are ever grateful to Suzanne!! We love you 🙂

Chelsea Harris February 25, 2025

Megan was an awesome caregiver for my 7 month old son. I was very nervous as I had never left him with anyone outside of family, but her friendly demeanor put me at ease. I could tell that she had a lot of experience with babies and my son seemed comfortable with her right away. I also appreciated receiving text updates throughout the day. I would absolutely have Megan back to care for my son again!

Ariana Martinez February 17, 2025

I could not be more thankful to Queen City Doulas! As a first time mom, breast feeding was something I was very nervous about. Google has so much information about it, which is very overwhelming but Kaitlyn made it easy to understand. The next couple of days after being discharged from the hospital, my breasts were engorged and I was in excruciating pain, but Kaitlyn came to the rescue and told me exactly what I needed to do. She is so knowledgeable and able to put an anxious-first- time mom at ease. A very special thank you to Suzanne, who came to my house during my first week of postpartum and taught me how to properly give baby a bath, latch my baby on and so much more. If you have any question about the baby or even yourself after delivery, she’ll know it all and more. I don’t know what I would do without their guidance during the crucial and challenging first few weeks. Thank you!!!!

Gayana Bagdasarova January 4, 2025

Thank you so much, and a special thanks to Suzanne for coming to my rescue during the challenging first week of my postpartum and breastfeeding journey. She is incredibly professional and knowledgeable. As a second-time mom, I assumed breastfeeding would be easier this time, but I found myself in a lot of pain and struggling. Suzanne showed me how to help my baby achieve a better latch and taught me techniques, like massaging the breast, to make milk transfer easier for my baby. Her guidance made an immediate difference, and her support was exactly what I needed. Suzanne is truly wonderful, and I can’t recommend her enough to any mom navigating breastfeeding. If you’re struggling, don’t hesitate to reach out to her—she’s amazing!

Queen City Doulas is amazing!! I had a wonderful experience with two Doulas- Jodi and Alyssa. Both were caring, courteous and knowledgeable. I appreciated their support so much during my early nights with my newborn and always felt like they went the extra mile.QCD is also compatible with Carrot benefits, so I was able to use my company funding to offset the cost. Kaitlin made it easy to do too!

Krista M. Spreitzer January 2, 2025

I would highly recommend Queen City Doulas! Kaitlyn was so nice and listened to what I was looking for in a doula. She suggested Kimmi as a good fit for me and she was right! Kimmi was very helpful and made my experience in the hospital much more comfortable and smooth. She was great with my 2 year old who came to visit and she took great care of my newborn! My 2 year old is still talking about her! I would definitely recommend Kimmi and Queen City Doulas if you are looking for a positive hospital experience!

Christine Mukhanov December 22, 2024

Working with Kaitlyn and Carrye at Queen City Doulas was such a fantastic experience! Kaitlyn met with me to discuss my specific needs and requests to ensure she paired me with the best doula to help me meet my goals. Carrye was a dream to work with - so caring and knowledgeable as I navigated breastfeeding and quick to make sure she helped me keep things at the house clean and organized. In the early, sleep-deprived days and weeks of motherhood Carrye was such a gift to me and my family. I can’t imagine that time without her!

Danielle Phillips December 15, 2024

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Kaitlyn & Jodi and the postpartum doula services provided to me during the first 7 weeks of my baby’s life. I truly felt like they took time to understand my needs and concerns to be able to tailored support accordingly. Not only was my baby cared for with tenderness and expertise but also cared for me, encouraging self-care and helping me regain confidence in my new role as a mother. Thank you Queen City Doulas!

Kaleigh D December 9, 2024

If you are considering hiring a post partum doula, DO IT. The support I received from Erin after having my son while recovering from a second c-section was amazing. She would arrive and jump right in to help with whatever needed to be done. Dishes, laundry, helping with our other child, you name it she did it. I struggled in the beginning with getting my son to latch correctly and she was right there to help and offer some tips/support. Erin is an absolute gem and huge asset to the Queen City Doulas staff!

Stephanie Johnson December 5, 2024

We can't express enough how much Queen City Doulas changed our first few months with our baby. As new parents we had an incredible amount to learn and lots of change to adapt to. Kimmi, Jodi, and Zelle are truly lifechanging! We were able to feel a sense of ease knowing our baby was in such capable and loving hands and we had consummate professionals to coach us, teach us, and answer the millions of questions we had. We will be able to look back on the first months of our son's life so fondly thanks to their help. Furthermore, Kaitlyn has built a wonderful company and she is a remarkable leader. The standards to which she holds her employees and the constant feedback loop she creates made us feel even more assured that we really had a team supporting us through this process. We are continuing our relationship with Queen City Doulas even though our baby is sleeping through the night with daytime help and Megan is EXCELLENT. Her energy and constant effort have really helped his development and given mom some much needed time. We recommend Queen City Doulas to everyone we know who are expecting. We really can't thank them enough!

Chris Palmaro November 24, 2024

Our experience was wonderful. Kate is out night doula,she is so professional and did great job for taking care of our little one. Nina is also awesome, she is so detailed. Thanks also to Zelle, she is so warm-hearted and helped me a lot for being a first time mom. Also thanks to Kaitlyn, who is very nice and arranged all the schedules for us . Definitely recommend if you need a doula services.

Queen City Doulas are hands down the best. They offer personalized support during a mother’s most difficult time and treat you like family. From labor support to lactation, they have everything covered.

Celin Wittman October 25, 2024

1000/10 Recommend Queen City Doulas and Aiesha!! My only regret was not hiring them SOONER! Aiesha was our postpartum night doula and made our lives so much easier as first time parents! Not only did she help with the baby's laundry, bottle washing, bringing me my pump parts so I didn't have to wake up fully, but she recognized cues that we, as first time parents, weren't aware of and helped us!! My son LOVES her!! He is already sleeping through the night and we owe that to Aiesha!

Rachel Gilmore October 21, 2024

Suzanne was so helpful and encouraging at our lactation appointment! She made me feel empowered and shared lots of tips and information to help my latch and feeding experience. Even though I have breastfed a child before, she helped me remember what the newborn stage is like and was gentle and reaffirming to me as a mom! Incredibly positive and educational experience!

Miranda Arthur October 20, 2024

I could not recommend Queen City Doulas enough!! Our newborn care specialist, Noel, gave my husband and I the best peace of mind at night. We knew our son would be well taken care of each night! Being able to sleep through the night knowing our son was well taken care of let me be a rested mom for the next day! Noel was always on time, respectful and extremely helpful. I also really appreciated her wealth of newborn knowledge to help answer any questions from sleep transitions to feedings.
