ButtonMy Story
Hi, I’m Adeline, founder of Precious Care Babysitting in Rochester, Michigan. I have had a passion for caring for children since I was nine years old, and over the years I have gained hands-on experience with newborns, toddlers, twins, and growing families.
I recently completed my Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula training through the Newborn Care Training Academy, where I also completed car seat safety training for parents and caregivers.
My Current Journey
I am currently working toward full certification as a Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula by completing:
- 1,000 hours of hands-on newborn care experience (birth–4 months)
- Care for at least three newborn families, including multiples
- Professional references and written testimonials from families I support
This process allows me to continue building experience while providing families with attentive, personalized care.
My Approach
My goal is to create a space where families feel supported, confident, and cared for during the postpartum season. I approach every family with patience, attentiveness, and a strong commitment to quality care.
