We first met Tessa the night we came home from the hospital with our daughter, and she immediately provided tons of support and reassurance to us as we began this new parenting journey. Throughout her care as a nighttime doula for us, she was communicative and helpful, not only in caring for our newborn, but also with lactating support and generally sharing lots of knowledge for both parents relating to sleeping, breathing, breastfeeding, and beyond.
I still remember one night where our daughter was being quite fussy, but the moment Tessa walked in and picked her up, she began to calm down and smile. Tessa's nighttime visits allowed my wife and I to catch up on sleep, gain confidence in the early stages of parenting, and learn more about what to expect from our newborn at each and every stage.

It was very comforting and helpful to have Tessa for several weeks of postpartum overnight care. Even though it was my second child, it was so helpful to know she would be there at night to provide additional support to help me get some extra sleep and be a sounding board for any questions I had about my newborn and his behavior. Getting extra rest really aided my recovery - I felt much better much quicker after giving birth than I did after my first, where I did not have as much consistent overnight help. In addition to being very kind, one of the best things about Tessa is how punctual and reliable she is. Any changes to our agreed-upon schedule were communicated well in advance, and she was always on time every night and very communicative. This took a huge load of stress off my shoulders during a pretty stressful time. Additionally, I felt very confident leaving my newborn in her care, as her experience and gentle demeanor came through very quickly.

Tessa was an amazing support for our newborn. We had no idea what we were doing, and Tessa was super patient with us, offering us helpful guidance, and listening to our preferences. She is also the utmost professional - always showing up early, communicating effectively, following up for confirmation, and more. All of this together - Tessa is caring and responsible and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Tessa has cared for our son as a night nurse since he was 1.5 month old. She's been professional, punctual, communicative and nurturing. She feeds the baby, changes diapers, and comforts the baby when he becomes fussy. She helped our baby set up a good night feed schedule. It was a great experience working with Tessa!
