Meet Tayler Kellim
I am a postpartum doula with full spectrum doula training through Doula Training International. I feel that it is my life purpose to support families through this amazing chapter of life, whether that means caring for a healing mom, nurturing a newborn, navigating feeding, preparing nourishing meals, or helping an older sibling feel special, I want to help you feel seen, supported, and less alone.
The norm for expecting families is to put so much planning and preparing for the birth, which is so important, but we forget to plan and prepare for what happens when we come home! It can be overwhelming, exhausting. It can be also be calm, beautiful, and supported. Families are not meant to do this alone! I believe that this transformational time deserves just as much care and intention, and it is where my heart is.
For over a decade, I supported families as an infant and toddler nanny, gaining experience with newborns, multiples, preemies, and mother-centered care. Through these years, I discovered my purpose. I am a helper to my core. I want to cook for you, fold your laundry, snuggle your littles, paint with your older ones, help you with feeding, sleep, and anything under the sun that will help you feel supported.
Every family looks different, and every postpartum journey does too. I'm deeply committed to creating an open, affirming space for all families, including LGBTQ+ parents, BIPOC parents, single parents, multigenerational families, and families of every structure and background. It's my joy and privilege to be part of your village as you step into this new chapter of life!!!!
As first-time parents, we were navigating so much, not only with our newborn daughter, but also with our special-needs dog who still needed lots of attention. Tayler stepped in with such ease and grace, helping us with baby care, feeding support, and even guiding us on sleep schedules. Her calm, easygoing nature instantly put us at ease, and she gave us the confidence we needed in those early weeks. We are so grateful for the way she supported our whole family.
