Karen took care of my baby since she was a few weeks ago, and I highly recommend her for anyone!

She is extremely hard working, professional and loving doula. She held my baby for hours at night when she couldn't sleep. She would also track the baby at night, and would be there by the baby's side before I even had a chance to get up. It really helped me catch a few hours of sleep without worrying about the baby. She also understood what was troubling the baby so quicky and helped her feel better when she was gassy. She is great at handling little ones, she surprised us with print of the babies hands and feet after I told her I was having a hard time keeping the babies hands open and still! 

I could see that my baby looked forward to being with Karen, and it was a pleasure to have her as our doula.

Karen was my postpartum doula. We had an every other night schedule and Karen came during the day in between nights. The sleep I got was amazing and Karen made my house sparkle! She made sure I was cooked for and went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. She a answered all the questions I had and knew what I needed before I needed it. I didn't hear one cry from the baby and he always got handed back freshly changed and happy as could be. Loved my experience with Karen!

Karen was referred to me by a mutual friend while I was pregnant with my little boy. I was a first time mom and had no help from family or friends and my husband was back to work quickly. I hired Karen on for my birth and quickly realized I would need her for my postpartum as well! She was so calm and collected. Was able to let my husband leave and get snacks and take a break and I was never left alone. Karen showed my husband different ways he could help me and took pictures for us on our phones. She made my birth experience so amazing I thought immediately after I could do this again! 
Our little man did not want to sleep! Karen was so magical with him. She could get him to sleep in no time at all and successfully got him to take a bottle even though we couldn't. I kept Karen on for the full 12 weeks because I couldn't let her go! We brought her on for some day shifts as well and she blew us away with how much she did! She scrubbed my entire house!!! She came in, scooped up the baby, sent me to bed and went to work. I often woke up to the smell of coffee (yum!!!) and cookies or brownies. It was amazing! 
We went on to hire Karen for our second and third as well. She helped with older siblings while I napped and showered and felt like myself. Lunch was made for the kids (And me!) if you need an amazing doula definitely hire on Karen! She'll take care of you in ways that will make you want to cry. She's well worth the money!
