Because support shouldn’t end with birth

Postpartum and Infant care doula services

Even for the most experienced parents, bringing home a new baby means changing routines, dividing time and just trying to figure out how it’s all gonna work. This is where a postpartum doula can really help. A doula loves to hear your birth story, support you with after birth recovery and tend to your newborn with love and attention.

Meet Jodi Kinney, LPN

A compassionate Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) for more than 20 years, Jodi has worked in a variety of health care environments where she cared for patients of all ages. Since 2013, she has worked with infants and their parents in the hospital’s labor, delivery, recovery, and postpartum departments. Driven by a belief that support shouldn’t end with birth, Jodi’s desire to help parents feel more confident once they leave the hospital led her to launch Baby Bear Doula Care in 2023.

Earning a Daisy Award for being an “extraordinary nurse,” Jodi’s superpower is listening to and advocating for patients and their families while delivering nurturing and responsive care. She brings that same bedside manner to her clients as a postpartum doula and to the doula students she trains, certifies, and mentors in the greater Charlotte, NC area.

Outside of work, Jodi enjoys spending time with family including her two grandchildren. She loves being outside in nature, hiking, and water sports.

Jodi became my lifeline during my postpartum journey. From the moment she stepped into our home, she became family. She took excellent care of our daughter, and of us (as brand new parents). Jodi brings with her immense wisdom and experience. Not only does she have an extensive background in the medical field, but is also a seasoned mother (and grandmother), and has possibly the most sincere and unwavering passion and love for babies I’ve ever seen. I cannot recommend Jodi enough and our family is so blessed to have found her.

Jodi took amazing care of our newborn during the first six weeks. Her compassion and knowledge gave us so much peace as first-time parents. We were able to sleep soundly knowing that our child was in great hands. I also know I can reach out to Jodi with any questions as our child grows and develops. Thank you, Jodi!

Jodi was fantastic with our little boy from newborn to almost 3 months. She gave my husband and I peace of mind to be able to sleep through the night knowing our son was well taken care of! Jodi was always early, happy and so loving towards our little guy. I also really appreciated her wealth of newborn knowledge and experience working in a hospital to help answer any questions we had as new parents.
