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.
McKenzie has been an amazing support to us, she cares for my twins and is always helping out in any way she can. We are thankful we found her and Queen City Doulas!
I cannot express how grateful I am for Kaitlin and Queen City Doulas. When I reached out, I was in a state of panic, anxiety, and worry over some feeding difficulties with my then 2-month-old son. From the moment I contacted Kaitlin, she provided immense reassurance and support during our phone consultation (which was the same day I had reached out!). After talking through our issues, she referred us to Kelsey, a speech therapist who came to our home. Kelsey was incredible in helping us understand our baby's cues and introduced us to new feeding positions that significantly alleviated his eating difficulties. She also taught us exercises to help with his tension after the in-home evaluation. Within just a few days, we noticed substantial improvements in our son's feeding tolerance and intake. The relief and joy we felt as parents were immeasurable. Queen City Doulas' network of professionals and their commitment to supporting families is truly outstanding. They didn't just offer temporary solutions; they provided us with knowledge and techniques that have made a lasting difference in our daily lives. I'm so thankful that a friend recommended Queen City Doulas to us. Their compassionate approach, combined with their extensive knowledge and resources, makes them an invaluable support system for new parents. If you're facing any challenges with your little one, don't hesitate to reach out to Kaitlin and her team. They truly go above and beyond to ensure the well-being of both baby and parents.
Highly recommend! We had a great experience with Queen City Doulas - not only were the Doulas (Jodi, Kimmi, and Val) incredibly caring for our children but were skilled and experienced (prior nusing backgrounds, birth doula/midwife training etc.). We felt very comfortable with each of our caretakers - who were all professional and easy to communicate with. The schedules were set well in advance, and Kaitlyn did a great job being highly responsive to us. She has extensive experience with company insurance programs (in our case Carrot Fertility) and was very helpful to us in completing those forms.
We hired Queen City Doulas for lactation support and couldn’t have had a better experience. From the very first communication, they were incredibly responsive and professional, which immediately put me at ease during a stressful time. When Suzanne, the lactation consultant, arrived, she instantly made us feel comfortable and supported. Her knowledge and kindness created such a calm, reassuring environment, and she gave us the confidence and tools we needed moving forward. Honestly, if I could have her come every day just for her comforting presence, I would! I cannot recommend Queen City Doulas enough!
Noel was wonderful as a night nanny! She helped us get some much needed sleep after our second was born. Additionally, she gave us some good tips and pointers for newborn sleep, folded our laundry, and cleaned dirty bottles. It was refreshing to get a good night's sleep a few days a week and have less chores to do in the morning! Would highly recommend Queen City Doulas and Noel!
Kristina helped us transition from one to two kiddos seamlessly. She relieved me overnight so I could be on my A-game during the day for both of my children. But she also helped me get my newborn sleeping longer stretches by testing out different swaddles, feed times etc. Queen City Doulas was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Highly recommend for any mamas or parents out there!!
