About Khirsty

Experience: 7 yrs

Hi! My name is Khirsty, and I'm a trained postpartum doula, former early childhood educator, and mother with 7+ years of experience caring for children from infancy through early childhood. I specialize in supporting families with newborns and infants through overnight care, postpartum support, feeding assistance, soothing techniques, diapering, sleep and daily routines, bottle/pump washing and sterilization, and helping parents adjust during the fourth trimester. Before transitioning into postpartum support, I worked extensively with children ages 3 months to 5 years old. My caregiving style is calm, patient, responsive, and is influenced by RIE and Reggio Emilia philosophies both of which promote emotional safety, developmentally appropriate care, and strong communication with families. Families describe me as warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. I would love the opportunity to be part of your family's support village!

Khirsty was wonderful with my daughter! Her background in early childhood education was especially helpful because my toddler is nonverbal and has specific developmental needs. Khirsty immediately understood how to engage with her and arrived with age-appropriate toys and activities, including puzzles, blocks, and arts and crafts that supported her motor, sensory, and developmental skills. Khirsty made my daughter feel comfortable despite being in an unfamiliar environment. My daughter will usually become upset when I leave, but she was completely at ease with Khirsty, which gave me so much peace of mind. Khirsty was prompt, trustworthy, flexible, and attentive, and she also followed the meal instructions I left for my daughter. I also loved how well she communicated. She kept me updated, checked in whenever needed, and let me know about anything involving my daughter throughout their time together. I truly appreciated the care and expertise Khirsty provided. I felt completely comfortable leaving my daughter with her and would absolutely hire her again whenever I’m in LA. I highly recommend her, especially to families looking for someone knowledgeable, patient, and experienced with young children and their individual needs.
