Areas of Ongoing Training
Postpartum Doula
A postpartum doula is a trained professional who provides support to a family after the birth of a baby. The focus is on the emotional, practical, and educational needs of the parents, especially the birthing parent, during the first weeks to months after delivery.
Typical responsibilities include:

- Offering information about newborn care and recovery
Goal: Help parents feel confident, rested, and supported so they can bond with their newborn

My Story
Hi, I’m Adeline, I am 17 years old, 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.
Testimonials
See what other families have said about Adeline!
“I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Adeline and the role she has played in our family’s life! When Adeline first started helping us, we were navigating life with newborn identical twins and a toddler, and to say our hands were full would be an understatement! What started as some much-needed extra help with our infant girls has naturally grown into consistent part-time care for all three of our daughters. That alone speaks volumes about the trust and confidence we have developed in her. Adeline has such a calm, patient, and loving presence, even in the middle of the chaos that naturally comes with three little ones. She is attentive, dependable, and genuinely invested in the girls and their well-being. There is something incredibly comforting about having someone in your home who not only helps lighten the load but also truly cares about your children. We recently had Adeline accompany our family on a weeklong trip to Disney World, which gave us an even greater appreciation for her. Traveling with three children under three is no small undertaking, and she was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire experience. From navigating travel days and busy parks to helping maintain routines and simply being another set of capable, loving hands, she made what could have been an overwhelming trip so much more enjoyable for our entire family. Her flexibility, positive attitude, and willingness to jump in wherever needed did not go unnoticed. What I appreciate most about Adeline is that her help has given me more than just an extra set of hands. She has given me the ability to be more present with each of my daughters, knowing the others are being cared for by someone I genuinely trust. As a mom of three very young children, that is something I value more than I can put into words. We feel incredibly fortunate that what began as occasional help during such a demanding season of life has turned into an ongoing relationship with someone who has become such a valued part of our family’s routine. I would wholeheartedly recommend Adeline to any family looking for someone who is kind, trustworthy, capable, and genuinely wonderful with children. She has been such a gift to our family!”

“We had Adeline over a number of times while our daughter was under 6 months so that Adeline could get hours for her doula training. We greatly appreciated her support and loved the photos she was able to get of our daughter. Adeline is easy to work with, kind, and curious. She learned our routines and house quickly, and gave our daughter lots of careful attention and love. Thanks so much!!”
