"The best part about being a Doula is to be present at the birth of not only a baby, but a family."
— Sydney Butler Beck
Sydney (she/her) was born and raised in Ellicott City, Maryland. Since childhood, Sydney has supported families during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. She has over 10 years of experience as a nanny and doula. Sydney also coaches cheerleading and gymnastics from ages ranging from preschool to high school.
As a certified labor and postpartum doula, Sydney understands the need for support during life changing events such as infertility, pregnancy and infant loss, birth, and postpartum. Her ultimate goal is to take this type of support to Africa, especially in Liberia where she has roots. She hopes to aid in the building of community centers, orphanages, and birthing centers.
When Sydney is not coaching or attending a birth, she enjoys spending time with her husband and two children. Sydney also enjoys baking and trying new recipes in the kitchen. Her favorite time of the year is the summer for backyard barbecues and beach activities.
