Larissa is great! Having Larissa as our night doula for our baby’s first eight weeks at home was an incredible help to our family. We felt very comfortable and confident leaving our newborn in her care– she’s experienced, caring, and very calm+ easy to get along with (very important for me at 3am!).

Larissa is super knowledgeable, and we learned a lot from watching her with our baby. She helped guide us on practical skills like keeping the baby at an appropriate temperature, soothing, which pacifiers to use for a breastfeeding infant, and identifying when it was time to call the pediatrician. She suggested products for the issues we hadn’t anticipated (stains! On everything!) and even generously lent us an infant carrier to try, which became a favorite of ours.

Larissa was very professional, and logistics and communication were always smooth and straightforward. We are so grateful for her support during such a critical transition and would highly recommend her to any family looking for night support!

Larissa is great! She helped me a lot during breastfeeding, as a first time mom I had so many questions and she happily answered those questions. She's so kind and thoughtful!

She was so helpful during those first newborn days, especially with breastfeeding. She was kind, patient, and made me feel supported without ever making things feel complicated. I’m really grateful for her help and would definitely recommend her to other new moms.

Larissa was such a lifesaver in my postpartum journey as a first-time mom. Her dedication and knowledge were amazing, and she made me feel supported and confident during such an overwhelming and vulnerable time. She was incredibly patient, caring, and attentive to both me and my baby. Her guidance with breastfeeding and pumping was especially helpful, and she always took the time to answer my questions and explain things.

She is amazing. She helped me so much with breastfeeding, always giving me tips and advice. Honestly, if it weren’t for her, I don’t think I would have been able to do it.

Larissa was amazing with our daughter! We were first time parents and she was very helpful with breastfeeding journey too, measuring for flange size etc. something they didn't do at the hospital. She took great care of our daughter and let us get some rest after her birth which was much needed. She was extremeley professional, observant, punctual and I always felt comfortable with her in our home. Most importantly she was very warm and caring with our baby. I would hire her again and recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their family.

Working with Larissa was amazing! She provided so many helpful tips and made suggestions which help with our newborn babygirl. I was recovering from a c-section and she consistently made sure I was okay and healing properly as well. I trusted Larissa which allowed me to get the best sleep possible after giving birth. I looked forward to the nights we had her because it allowed me to recharge and focus on healing and I knew my babygirl was in great hands. I was sad when our contract ended. Whoever gets to work with Larissa is lucky

Larissa is a phenomenal doula that I highly recommend. She is very knowledgeable, caring, and fosters a safe and supportive environment. In the short 6 weeks we had together, Larissa successfully started sleep training our baby. By the end of our time together, our baby was sleeping 4-6 hours through the night. We really appreciate how hard she worked for us. She brought us so many baby carriers to try, taught us how to baby wear, gave advice on breast pumps, and even taught us how to give baths and file nails. She is a hard and diligent worker and we appreciate her efforts! She is a wealth of knowledge and I'm always amazed at how much she knows. Larissa was so instrumental in our baby journey that I'm already hoping that she'll be available for my future pregnancies. I only wish that my baby could remember the love, care, and attention she was given by Larissa!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Larissa. She was our postpartum doula, helping us when we welcomed our second child. Larissa is very experienced with babies and was extremely helpful during the first few months of the life of our daughter, which allowed us to rest. Her knowledge and guidance helped us establish a structured routine for our daughter, which helped her to sleep longer stretches at night.

Anything we had questions about, she was quick to answer, and even if she didn’t know the answer, she had a fantastic network and was able to connect us with the right resources and/or people. She is also very reliable and proactive.

 Our family was very fortunate to have had the opportunity of working with Larissa, and highly recommend her if you need any help with your baby.
