Meet Khaiyah

Khaiyah is a postpartum doula and newborn care specialist on our team. She specializes in giving care to preemies and multiples. Prior to supporting families as a doula, she was a certified nursing assistant and nanny. She is also pursuing a bachelor’s degree in marketing.

As a postpartum doula, Khaiyah prides herself on her attention to detail, candor communication, unbiased acceptance of constructive criticism, thoughtfulness, timeliness, and efficiency. She became a doula because she saw how much her care helped my sisters in their fourth trimester. As a former nanny who specialized in infants and toddlers, she believes care should extend to the parents needs as well. Supporting families as a postpartum doula is the perfect career that suits her passion.

She has experience sleep training, working with preemie infants, helping initiate and execute and maintain a routine and supporting larger families with multiples.

When Khaiyah is not supporting families, she likes to work out, read, paint, cook, expand her knowledge, and spend time with her nieces and nephews.

“I’m so fortunate to have worked with 2 incredible doulas: Amber supported us during the pregnancy and birth of our son, and Khaiyah is supporting us overnight in postpartum. Khaiyah is currently providing care for our son overnight, and she is fantastic! She’s so proactive at providing us reports on how he’s doing, tips for what’s ahead, and even noticing issues like a minor condition that we didn’t see. She’s also warm, kind, and accommodating, and I trust her to provide excellent care for him while we are getting some rest and recovering. The process of getting paired with them both was smooth (had chance to interview for best fit), and Chicago Family is great at communicating or supporting any other needs that come up in a prompt and efficient manner! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
