Alice was a fantastic doula to our baby boy. She helped him get over his day-night confusion, was a calming presence in our home, and helped me get him back up to birth weight. She helped ensure he healed well after surgery, and I trust her completely. I highly recommend Alice!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Alice as our night doula for three weeks, starting when our baby was just a few days old, and we cannot recommend her enough.

Alice was incredibly calm, reliable, and experienced, which made all the difference during those first weeks. She seamlessly merged her best practices with our family’s lifestyle, helping us establish a rhythm that allowed our baby to sleep longer each week. Her expertise truly shined when our baby was gassy—she always knew exactly what to do to soothe him.

Alice didn’t just care for our baby; she cared for me as well. She thoughtfully reminded me about my medications, ensured I stayed hydrated, and supported me in learning how to use my breast pump. Her holistic care was invaluable during my recovery and transition into life with a newborn.

As a second-time mom, I had struggled during the newborn stage with my first baby due to the lack of sleep. With Alice’s support, I not only got the rest I needed but also gained confidence in maintaining the routine she helped establish. Thanks to her, my husband and I were able to fully enjoy this precious time with our baby.

Alice’s professionalism, warmth, and dedication made her an indispensable part of our postpartum experience. I’m so grateful for her help and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family seeking expert care and support during the newborn stage.

Alice worked with us full time after my daughter was born through three and a half months. She is amazing, and we highly recommend her. She is very calm, gentle, punctual, and she knows what she's doing. She shared her tips with us and by 3 and a half months, our daughter is sleeping 8-9 hours straight at night. Alice also was amazing when I had to be admitted to the hospital overnight for preeclampsia. She arrived early to help and was very supportive. We would recommend her to anyone seeking night help with their child.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Alice as our night doula for a six-week period, and we couldn't be more satisfied with her exceptional service.

Alice's professionalism was evident from the outset, yet she also exuded a warmth and friendliness that put us immediately at ease. Trusting someone with the care of our newborn during the night was a big step for us, but Alice quickly became an integral part of our family dynamic.

Her responsibility was unwavering throughout our engagement. We never once doubted her ability to prioritize the well-being and safety of our daughter. Alice consistently demonstrated a keen understanding of infant care practices, particularly in addressing our daughter's gas issues. Her knowledge and expertise in this area were invaluable, providing us with practical solutions and much-needed reassurance.

In addition to her exceptional care, Alice's pricing structure was reasonable and transparent, offering us peace of mind during an already demanding time.

In summary, Alice exceeded our expectations in every aspect as a night doula. Her professionalism, warmth, expertise, and reasonable pricing make her an outstanding choice for any family seeking support during the challenging early weeks of parenthood.

We've worked with Alice since our first was 8 months old - he's now 3 yrs old. She started working with our second child at just over 1 month old - he's now 12 weeks old. We had Alice support us while we freed ourselves up around the house as well as we left the house. Anytime he got uncomfortable, she would be quick to do something different, such as pick him up/reswaddle/rock/burp/shush/walk around. She was very quick to change his diaper whenever needed as well. I believe her calm demeanor helps him settle easily with her, either happily entertained looking/cooing at her or sleeping. Alice has also done a fantastic job of managing both children at the same time, able to multitask getting both children fed, keeping both entertained, and putting both to sleep. We're very thankful for Alice's support, energy, and capabilities. We trust her and love how she helps care for our children.
