MEET CAI’LIN
Cai’lin Kroon
POSTPARTUM DOULA (SHE/HER)
Cai’lin brings a warm, grounded presence into the postpartum space, helping families feel cared for, capable, and a little less overwhelmed as they settle into life with their new baby.
About Cai’lin
Cai’lin is the kind of person who brings a calm presence, a good sense of humour, and a genuine willingness to jump in wherever she’s needed.
Raised on a farm in a small community, she grew up with a strong appreciation for hard work, practical problem-solving, and taking care of the people around you. As a mom herself and part of an autism family, Cai’lin also understands that there’s no single “right” way for a family to function—and that good support starts with paying attention to the people in front of you.
As a DONA-certified postpartum doula, Cai’lin brings that same flexible, down-to-earth approach into her work with new families. She can help with feeding and newborn care, take over with baby while you rest, tackle the dishes or laundry, or help you sort through the seemingly endless questions that come with a new baby.
She’s knowledgeable without being intimidating, nurturing without hovering, and always ready to adapt to what your family needs that day.
When she isn’t supporting new parents or hanging out with her own kids, you’ll probably find Cai’lin playing Dungeons & Dragons, planning her next escape room, or working her way through a brain puzzle. Her love of figuring things out turns out to be pretty useful in postpartum work, too.
“New babies come with a surprising number of puzzles. Luckily, I really like puzzles.”
There’s rarely one right answer—just the one that works best for you, your baby, and your family.
NEWBORN CARE
An experienced extra set of hands for diapering, soothing, settling, bathing, and all the little things you’re still getting to know.

Testimonials for Cai’lin

So grateful for our postpartum doula Cai'lin who helped us with our first baby. We got the curated package which meant Cai'lin came roughly twice a week for a month. We especially loved that the goal of this package is to teach us skills to not need a doula by the end of the month, rather than to get us hooked on having perpetual help, and we definitely achieved that. Cai'lin always showed up on time and checked in with the priorities list for the day. I loved that she offered a mix of hands on baby help (e.g. diaper changes, bathing, calming), baby knowledge (e.g. how to pace feed, milk pumping and storage, strategies for calming) and filled in the rest of the time with helping us keep on top of household chores like the neverending dishes and laundry. Cai'lin had excellent communication, showed a lot of initative and super easily followed all instructions. It was a relief to not have to detailed explain instructions like I would need to for my husband haha. She's also just a great human and my husband and I enjoyed just chatting with her about random stuff as she was working. Cai'lin also seemed to be thinking about us regularly outside of her shifts with us as she would often send us little tidbits of info through whatsapp as things came up. I super highly recommend Cai'lin for anyone looking for a postpartum doula.

I am very glad that a family member recommended Welcome baby co to me for postpartum help after I had my twins. Cai'lin, our doula is so helpful and calm in all situations. She goes above and beyond to help me with anything I need, whether with the babies, or around the house. She is knowledgable in all baby matters, can smoothly take care of twins and is a great organizer. I would highly recommend to any new Mother who is able to get some help in the busy days postpartum.

We had Cai'lin as our post partum doula and I think she saved my sanity. She calmly educated us on how to do a proper latch, how to keep my sleepy baby awake when nursing, soothing techniques and all the in's and out's of pumping, paced feeding and bottle cleaning. I felt so much more confident as a new mom with Cai'lin's help. She understands how vulnerable and difficult the first few days are and helped me through my doubts and fears. One very special thing about Cai'lin is that spends time understanding the issue and helping you feel heard and then offers lots of great tips and advice. She coached my husband on how to support me and how to bond with baby. By our last visit with her, we were enjoying our baby and ready to care for him ourselves. I can't recommend her highly enough, she was amazing to work with.
