Our Mission Statement - KangaMamas is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to educate about and promote babywearing as a beneficial practice for caregiver and child. We carry out this mission by educating and supporting caregivers in Rhode Island and surrounding communities about the benefits of babywearing to both child and themselves.

Our Director - Kristen was introduced to babywearing through individual research while pregnant with her first child. She found babywearing to intuitively make sense and ordered her first sling. Shortly after giving birth to her first son in 2008, Kristen found wearing her son gave her an essential boost to her confidence while providing a soothing environment for both her and her child. Recognizing the benefits to both mother and child, Kristen quickly became passionate about babywearing. She began educating those closest to her and anyone who would listen about babywearing and its benefits. Kristen says that the best reward for teaching about babywearing is the look on a new mother’s face when her baby settles in and the confidence in it brings to her.
