Christina and Maria have been invaluable in helping us as first-time parents. We sought help during the sixth week after our daughter was born, when we were struggling to adapt to the demands of new parent life, and they responded immediately and began working with us within two days. They are both warm, caring women who love babies and have tons of experience with them, and we feel comfortable entrusting our daughter to their care. 


We have benefited in so many ways from their services. Apart from the obvious benefits of overnight care so that we can get more sleep as parents, they have helped us establish a sleeping, feeding, and pumping program; our daughter was sleeping 6-7 hours at night by Week 10 and at Week 12 is now sleeping 9 hours a night!


We are so happy we were connected with Christina and Maria and that they were able to work with us through these pressure-filled early weeks as first-time newborn parents.

We were absolutely thrilled with the care that our family received from Maria! She brought such a calming presence into our home during those hectic first few newborn weeks. Not only was she incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but she also showed genuine care and affection for our baby, which really put our minds at ease. Maria's support allowed us to get some much-needed rest, knowing that our little one was in great hands. After my C-section, I couldn't have done the full nights and days without her help! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend her to any new parents!

Maria is so warm, knowledgeable, capable, experienced and just an all around comfort and pleasure to have around. I felt so relieved when she came over and our son was immediately soothed and at ease in her arms and under her care. I cannot recommend her enough! 10/10, would highly recommend.

Maria is just wonderful. She's very knowledgeable, kind, sweet, understanding and supportive. She assisted my family with over night support for our second child. we all felt very comfortable around her and my baby boy just adored her presence and always seemed to calm down around her. Her knowledge is priceless. Our first doula just came for the night and left in the am. Maria was different, she took the time to check in, was available at all times to discuss any concerns. She also guided us step by step through certain situation. It was such a pleasure to have her. I highly recommend her.

We loved Maria! She was warm, always on time (always early actually!), and most importantly, we trusted her 100% with our newborn son. She was so sweet with him and flexible with our requests for how we wanted things done. We recommended her to friends who had a fantastic experience too.

Maria was an absolutely fantastic Doula that I highly recommend to anyone. You don't want just anyone staying overnight in your home and taking care of your baby but with Maria you can sleep soundly knowing your baby is getting the absolute best care possible. She is extremely professional as well as adaptable to your wants and needs. Maria is a loving, warm presence, and also not overwhelming, which is always appreciated during the sensitive postpartum time. I have nothing but great things to say about my experience with Maria, I wouldn't change a thing. She really is that good!

Working with Maria was such a pleasure and a wonderful experience. As a new mom I was extremely reluctant leaving my newborn with someone I just met yet Maria made the process so easy and helped me feel as if I've known her forever. She has truly become a life long friend that I can reach out to anytime with any questions or guidance I may need as a new mom. Maria and her partner were such a blessing to our growing family and I will definitely be using their post partum doula services with my second child.  They were both always on time, very efficient and knowledgeable, reachable at all times and such good soulful ladies. I recommend Maria and her partner Christina to every new mom. A restful mom is a happy mom.

The help I never knew existed

 


Christina and Maria have been the most caring attentive loving people I’ve ever come across.

They truly care for not just the new addition, but the entire family. They’re both knowledgeable and helpful even when they’re not on the clock. They both consistently have stayed beyond the hours they signed up for, bc it was best for the babies schedule.

This is my third child, and the first I’ve had help for.  When I say this is a game changer I really mean it. I had bad postpartum blues and anxiety in a huge way. This is an investment for your mental health. I am happier than ever and I enjoy my baby in a way I never experienced. Getting a good nights sleep knowing your baby is cared for is an amazing feeling. I wake up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day. I can’t imagine life without them. They are wonderful people and forever friends.

Maria was such a wealth of knowledge and an incredible comfort to my family during this new transition of becoming new parents. Maria took the time to meet with us in advance of the arrival of our baby to gauge our needs and ensure we were a good match. She provided useful tips and advice on arranging our home to prepare for our first baby and our daily routine. During the early postpartum weeks, she helped take care of our baby to allow us to rest as we adjusted to this new role of being parents. She helped me figure out how to juggle the needs of my husband and the baby all while also focusing on self-care. She paid close attention and respected my wishes and goals and helped me to achieve them. She’s a natural with babies and was so sweet, completely trustworthy, responsible, and empathetic.  We were so fortunate to have her help us and would recommend her. We will be calling her back for our second child.

The best decision my husband and I made to prepare as first time parents is to hire a postpartum doula.  We were very fortunate to find Maria who is knowledgeable, friendly, kind and caring. She was always prompt to responding to all our communication. She took care of our son Luciano through the night for three months so that we were well rested. Maria was truly our baby whisperer. Maria was always there to offer support and advice when I needed it and was also my source of comfort and inspiration when I felt like I couldn’t keep going. I feel so fortunate to have had such a caring person to support us and help us adjust to life with our new baby. We unequivocally recommend Maria.

Despite being experienced parents, trying to juggle the constant needs of a newborn, a todler and two teenagers with all of our daily household responsibilities was extremely challenging. Having Maria as out postpartum doula providing support during the nights helped tremendously. Maria is such a sweet soul with a big caring heart and great energy.  I can't stress enough how the overnight shifts were a tremendous lifesaver, giving everyone much needed continuous rest and energy. Maria also helped sleep train our newborn so the transition of all nightly duties to Mom was easier. Maria's breadth of knowledge and experience were helpful refreshers and great advice for us to ensure quality care for our children. Our family is so grateful for everything Maria has done for us. I would definitely recommend Maria for first-time parents and growing families.
