Also known as Tesha (pronounced Tee-sha), Latesha is a dedicated Postpartum Doula who feels called to walk alongside families during one of life’s most transformative seasons — welcoming a new baby.

Originally from Chicago, Tesha relocated to Hermitage, Tennessee in 2022, following a spiritual calling to embrace a new community and purpose. A proud mother to her young son, born in early 2024, she brings deep empathy and firsthand experience to the families she serves.

Before becoming a doula, Tesha worked in the corporate world but felt led to return to work that aligned more closely with her passion for helping others. Her background includes years as a nanny, babysitter, and youth competitive cheer coach — experience that makes her both nurturing and energetic.

Families often describe Tesha as warm, emotionally intelligent, and deeply attentive. She takes a holistic approach to postpartum care, believing in the power of natural healing, emotional support, and practical help for the whole family. Her work is grounded in her Christian faith and her commitment to compassionate, holistic care. She is especially passionate about supporting single mothers and families with limited resources.

When she’s not serving families, Tesha enjoys spending time with her son, traveling, studying child development, exploring herbalism, and reading about faith and holistic living. Tesha is honored to help parents feel confident, cared for, and supported — whether they’re welcoming their first baby or their fourth.

While being a postpartum doula is a newer role to Tesha, she has a lot of experience with babies and young children and is a natural in this role.

What previous nanny clients have said….

“I cannot speak highly enough of Tesha and the care she provided for my son who has ASD, a developmental delay, and a seizure disorder. From day one, she demonstrated incredible patience, empathy, and understanding—qualities that are essential when working with children who experience the world in unique ways. Her ability to remain calm and supportive during challenging moments was especially meaningful to our family. Her presence gave me peace of mind, knowing that my child was in capable and loving hands. Any family would be lucky to have Tesha as part of their caregiving team.”

“Having Tesha as our toddler’s nanny has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our family. Tesha has brought so much warmth, patience, and joy into our home. What really sets Tesha apart is her consistency and attentiveness. She’s always fully present, keeping our toddler safe, stimulated, and happy. We’ve seen so much growth in our child’s confidence, language skills, and curiosity, and we know it’s largely due to the nurturing environment Tesha creates every day. We feel incredibly lucky to have her in our lives and couldn’t recommend her more highly to any family looking for a trustworthy, loving, and skilled caregiver.”
