🌟 Volunteer Highlight: First-Time Parenting Class Facilitators 🌟
We're so grateful for Blaine and Cheryl and the heart they bring to support our first-time parents!
💛 Meet Blaine
As a trained labor doula who loves supporting mothers and their birth partners during birth, Blaine teaches the labor and delivery portion of our First-Time Parenting Class. She and her husband, Andrew, have three precious children. Blaine works from home for a nonprofit management agency while homeschooling their older kids.
“I love partnering with Parkgate to love families who are walking through pregnancy and all of the excitement surrounding labor and delivery! I want mothers to feel informed and supported and for birth partners to feel equipped for the entire labor and delivery experience.”
