Why I Built Michigan Family Nannies

When I started my journey with Michigan Family Doulas, my passion was simple: to bring genuine, loving support to families right here in our own Southeast Michigan community. Every day, I am so grateful for the trust you have placed in us. To care for you during the most vulnerable and beautiful moments of your lives is a job I don’t take lightly.

But as our team worked with more and more families, I began to notice a common theme. After our postpartum doulas helped you through the fourth trimester, after the sleepless nights became a little more manageable, and after you started to feel more confident as a parent, there was always the next question.

“Jodi, where do we go from here? Do you know anyone who can help us with childcare for our toddler? How do we find a nanny we can truly trust?”

I heard it countless times, and I could feel the worry behind the questions. There was a clear gap in care. Families who had come to rely on our carefully vetted, compassionate professionals were being left to navigate the unpredictable world of long-term childcare on their own. The peace of mind we had worked so hard to establish with them often seemed to fade as they began a new search.

It became abundantly clear that our mission to support families shouldn’t end after the postpartum period. It needed to continue.

That’s why I felt called to build Michigan Family Nannies.

This isn’t just a new service—it’s a natural and heartfelt extension of the core values that have defined Michigan Family Doulas from the very beginning. We built this new service to provide seamless continuum of care. Starting from the earliest days of your baby’s life to the years of their development.

We’ve applied the same rigorous standards you already trust us for. A deeply personal understanding of family needs and a commitment to a meticulous vetting process. Our passion for providing professionals who are not only qualified but also genuinely kind and compassionate.

My hope is that we will be more than just a resource.

My hope is that Michigan Family Nannies will be a source of confidence for you. As well as a part of your family’s support system for years to come. Because at the end of the day, all a parent wants is peace of mind.

Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your family’s story. We are so excited to continue supporting you as you grow. Reach out to me to learn more!

Warmly,

Jodi Graves
