We worked with Queen City Doulas for about six months, and they were absolutely wonderful. We had the chance to work with several different doulas and nurses, and every single one of them was professional, kind, and deeply caring. They didn’t just care for our baby — they cared for me as a new mom and for our entire family, even engaging our 3-year-old in such thoughtful ways. Kaitlyn has a true talent for finding loving, caring, and experienced professionals — and for matching them perfectly with families. She understood our evolving needs and made transitions seamless as we figured out how to get back to work while still spending quality time with our new baby. They offered incredible emotional support, practical help, and a calm, reassuring presence during those early months when everything feels overwhelming. I can’t recommend Queen City Doulas highly enough — their team truly goes above and beyond
Arianna was the biggest help postpartum. She started when my son was one month old and my husband returned to work. We planned on having her support our family for 4 weeks, we opted to extend for 4 more due to her amazing work. She helped with food prep, washing cloth diapers, laundry, cleaning, provided bodywork for both me and my son, played with my son, took him anytime I wanted to shower/eat/go to the bathroom, offered recommendations for chiropractors, acupuncturists, lactation consultants, nutritionists and more. She was a true angel, I don’t know how I would have got through this time without her.
Total game changer of a post partum experience! This was our fourth baby and by far the smoothest transition. Kristina came into our home and jumped right in with all the experience, confidence and love we could have asked for. She specifically helped each morning by making breakfast, packing school lunches for my three older kids, unloading dishwasher, keeping up with the laundry while I was able to nurse and tend to our newborn. She also kept the baby while I made my carpool rounds each morning. Not having to load the baby up into the car seat two times every morning was a life saver. She also helped by washing and prepping fruit, baking miscellaneous items for the week and prepping dinner on many occasions. We absolutely loved having Kristina in our home and her presence will be missed.
Queen City Doulas was wonderful to work with! Our doula McKenzie was sure helpful with navigating my postpartum journey. My first baby I didn't have as much support so I knew for my second baby that I was going to need additional resources especially with a toddler. McKenzie was able to take several things off my plate around the house so I could spend time with my newborn, including watching my older child. Kaitlyn was also wonderful to work with in communicating what we needed. I 1000% recommend Queen City Doulas!
We had the pleasure of working with Queen City Doulas, and both Haddy and Kelsey were truly exceptional in supporting our family. They helped us with overnight care and daytime support, bringing not only skill and professionalism but also warmth and kindness into our home. Their care for our little ones and attention to detail gave us peace of mind, while their strong work ethic showed in everything they did. They also went above and beyond by helping around the house, making our days feel smoother and less overwhelming. We’re so grateful for their support and highly recommend Queen City Doulas to any family looking for dependable, compassionate care.
We were looking for an overnight doula for our newborn and many people recommended Queen City Doulas. Our consultation call with Kaitlyn made me feel comfortable and confident we’d find someone who would be a good fit for our family. After our experience, that is an understatement. Stephanie Clark, our overnight nurse, was amazing. She was so knowledgeable, incredibly caring towards our baby, and it was easy to build trust. From swaddling to bath time and so much more, Stephanie helped shorten the learning curve that comes with being new parents (and helped us get some sleep). Any family would be lucky to have Stephanie as part of their postpartum journey!
Kristina was amazing! I felt secure knowing that she was taking care of my precious little one while I rested and recharged.
Kaitlyn and her team of doulas were a godsend during a critical time in our young family’s life. My wife developed postpartum complications and we needed significant support for our premature twins. We were so lucky to find Queen City Doulas. Kaitlyn immediately set us up with an amazing team of doulas. Our core doula team, Haddy, Kelsey, and Molly, were wonderful. Their skillset and knowledge were elite. I can’t fathom what would have happened to us without their help. I’m forever grateful to our doulas and we think of them as a very important part in our family’s story. This was money well spent. I can’t recommend Queen City Doulas enough.
Sarina and Kristina were both life changing during my postpartum journey. The second night home from the hospital Kristina was there and I was able to get some much needed rest between feeds. Kristina came for 8 weeks and we truly miss her at night! Sarina was our doula during the day and she is amazing with kids! My 3 year old son loved her! She was amazing at making sure I was fed and doing self care along with getting rest. I’m so glad I chose Queen City Doulas and I will forever be grateful for the difference it made for me and my family postpartum.
Tiffany provided the most wonderful support to my daughter and I during her first months of life. She helped both of us so much and I absolutely couldn't have done it without her. I looked forward to her visits so much, not only for my daughter but for my chance to connect and talk with such a kind and thoughtful person.
Queen City Doulas is absolutely incredible. We had Aiesha come for several visits to cook amazing meals - even my toddler LOVED them!! She is truly talented and so sweet, we loved having her here to support us with her delicious meals. We also had McKenzie for daytime support which was so good for me as a mom of now 2, so to have her with me to go to appointments and just having an extra set of hands in the house was a breath of fresh air. My toddler enjoyed spending time with both of them 🙂 Aiesha and McKenzie communicated well and arrived promptly. We felt very comfortable with them, and I know any family that invites them to their home will be 100% taken care of and supported.
Cannot recommend Queen City Doulas and Suzanne enough! She was a life saver for us. I experienced postpartum depression with my second baby and the lack of sleep was a major contributor - my only regret was not starting as soon as we got home from the hospital! Even one night a week of solid sleep is a game changer. Suzanne is so knowledgeable, a true baby whisperer, and so trustworthy.
Kaitlyn and her team were so kind and very responsive when I reached out them to twice. She scheduled a phone consultation the day I reached out and made me feel at such ease because I was so nervous with having my first child. I highly recommend using them.
We had a great experience with Queen City doulas and highly recommend Kaitlyn and her team of doulas. Val and Kimmi spent 8 weeks with our baby providing invaluable overnight care. It was so comforting to know our baby was in great hands and helped tremendously with postpartum recovery by allowing us to get adequate rest. Aiesha also helped with daytime support and was phenomenal. She was so great with our baby and provided a calm, nurturing presence in our home. Her presence and knowledge was truly invaluable!. We’re very grateful for Kaitlyn and Queen City doulas and can’t recommend them enough for nighttime or daytime support.
I cannot recommend Queen City Doulas enough and would give 10 starts if I could. I had a c section, hysterectomy and suffered 2 postpartum hemorrhages, and my husband and I desperately needed assistance at home to help care for my newborn. Kaitlyn was an incredible communicator and matched us perfectly with Stephanie and Carina, who are both nurses and combined have both trauma and NICU experience. I immediately felt comfortable with them in our home, knowing they could not only help my newborn, but watch out for my own health as well in these early days post hospitalization. Carina and Stephanie both taught us more in a few days than any book you could read on newborn care, from bottle feeding and burping, to car seat safety and pumping. I will never forget how Stephanie helped position my newborn on my chest in a way that was comfortable for me, finally giving me the bonding time I had been missing out on. They both were ready and willing to help us out with anything we needed-from changing a diaper/feeding to doing our laundry to caring for our newborn to settle him and setting him up with us on the couch where we all sat together relaxed and watched a movie for the first time. I am so incredibly grateful for their care and wish they could be with us all the time!
We loved working with Queen City Doula’s postpartum. Jodi, our night doula was professional, responsive to our needs/flexible (so important with a new baby) and you can tell how much she loves her little ones and clients! We felt like our son was always in great hands with her and so appreciated her attentiveness and nursing expertise that came in handy when we had questions as first time parents.
I had the pleasure of working with Sarina and Aiesha for postpartum support after having baby #2, and I would absolutely recommend them both! Thanks Kaitlyn for supporting us in this journey of parenthood 🙂
We have been so incredibly thankful for the support Queen City Doulas has offered as we welcomed our first child. Kaitlyn and team do a wonderful job matching doulas to your need and scheduling is quick and easy. The doulas themselves have each been fabulous! I'd recommend Queen City Doulas to anyone seeking postpartum or night doula support in Charlotte.
