My mission is to serve families with gentle, compassionate care, creating a calm and supportive environment where parents can rest, recover, and embrace the beauty of their baby’s first weeks.
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:
- Emotional support and encouragement for new parents
- Guidance on breastfeeding, bottle feeding, and infant soothing
- Light household tasks
- Helping siblings adjust to the new baby
- Offering information about newborn care and recovery
Goal: Help parents feel confident, rested, and supported so they can bond with their newborn
Newborn Care Specialist

Typical responsibilities include:
- Diapering, bathing, and soothing the baby
- Establishing healthy sleep routines
- Monitoring the baby’s growth and development
- Supporting parents with feeding, including bottle-feeding and breastfeeding
- Overnight care

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!
“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!!”

“Adeline is incredible. She came into my home with an air of quiet comfort and made my life so much easier while I was dealing with the postpartum haze of being a mom of a 3 day old and the sleep loss and confusion involved with that. She was confident and knowledgeable with my newborn, allowed me to rest and be productive, and did the little things like calming and comforting Isaac as well as taking out the trash and starting a load of dishes etc. I felt comfortable enough to leave her with him while I showered and knew he was in good hands. She allowed me to focus on myself, my other kids, and my baby without the stress. Do yourself a favor and hire the best, with Adeline you won’t be disappointed”.
