Today we sit down with Maddie, a 26-year-old wife, mama of 2, and talented birth and postpartum doula.

From the time she was little, Maddie was baby crazy - playing “mommy,” dreaming of her future kids, and even starting her own babysitting company, The Happy Nanny, at just 18. Specializing in overnights, multiples, and sleep training, she built a reputation early on for being wise beyond her years when it came to babies.

By 20, Maddie became a doula and officially began supporting families through birth in 2021. That same year, she and her high school sweetheart, Mason, were already building a life together—first with golden retrievers, then with the family Maddie always dreamed of.

At just 22, Maddie was pregnant with her first baby, Taytum, on the very first try. The surprise was how quickly it happened, but the dream of becoming a mother was everything she ever wanted. By 25, Maddie was holding her second baby in her arms after experiencing two powerful, unmedicated hospital births that shaped the way she supports families today.
