Travel Doula

I have traveled with families both domestically and internationally. My assistance begins before the trip, if desired, by helping pack for baby. Also prior to our trip, I work with the parents to set up a schedule of when parents desire my caregiving and in what capacity I would be most helpful. However, that schedule remains semi-flexible since vacations are unpredictable at times. I’m happy to take primary responsibility for the baby or being in more of a support role during the trip. I frequently stay with baby so the parents can go sightseeing, spend time with older siblings or on a date. I also typically care for baby in my room overnight so parents can enjoy some vacation sleep. I can assist anywhere from 14 – 24 hours per day. Traveling has always been a passion of mine. I’ve been intrigued by world cultures, landscapes, and way of life for as long as I can remember. My parents took me to live in Japan for 2 years when I was a toddler. I grew up with a father who traveled the world extensively for business. I was envious of him. My passion for travel exploded when I took a trip to 5 European countries in high school and studied abroad for a year of college. I set out to pass along my love of world cultures to my 3 kids and was successful.
