Christine Solum

With over 15 years of experience as a career nanny and household manager,

along with her own journey through motherhood with two daughters, Chris-
tine (she/her) has developed a unique understanding of the challenges and joys new

parents face. Known as a family support guru, she is recognized for her

calm, nurturing, and uplifting presence. Christine is dedicated to empower-
ing families, helping them feel confident, supported, and educated in their

new roles.

Christine’s intention with this work is to help families feel at ease in navigat-
ing the new seas of becoming parents. She loves the feeling of serving and

caring for a family knowing that she has not only made their lives easier, but
also gave them more space and time to be able to focus on themselves and
their relationships mentally, physically and emotionally.

When Christine isn’t practicing as a Postpartum Doula or indulging her pas-
sion as a childcare enthusiast, she enjoys spending time with her family and

dog. Cooking (and, let’s be honest, eating) is another favorite hobby, along
with planning and attending social activities and keeping everything neat and
organized.
In their own words:
“I doula because I am a woman for others, it is engrained in me to nurture

and care. I love watching new parents and families go through the metamor-
phosis that is the first year of life. Not only does the baby go through so

many changes and milestones, but so to do the human beings who brought
them into this world and are navigating these new seas. That is often looked
over and I am proud to be within an industry that caters to that care.”
What clients say:

“Christine is like sunshine. She was very professional, always super present.”
