We were privileged to have Maristela support us during the postpartum nights, and her care made a significant difference for us first-time parents. She cared for our baby with great care, dedication and expertise, ensuring that we felt confident and at ease.

Maristela was excellent in all aspects of nighttime care, from feeding our baby to monitoring his sleep and maintaining a safe environment. She was great at teaching us about the importance of keeping the crib where he slept safe, she taught my husband how to swaddle and much more about babies. Her professional and calm approach allowed us to get the rest we needed to manage our days in a balanced way. Maristela worked with our son for 6 weeks and was never a minute late to our home. She is super professional and caring.

We highly recommend Maristela - her dedication and skills make her an excellent choice for any family.

Having Maristela as our doula during our daughter’s transition to motherhood was a true gift. As first-time grandparents, we wanted to support our daughter and our new grandson, but we also felt a bit overwhelmed. From the moment Maristela arrived, she created a peaceful and comforting atmosphere that put us all at ease.
Not only did she provide invaluable support to our daughter, but she also took the time to involve us in the process. Her guidance on newborn care and breastfeeding was incredibly helpful, and we appreciated how she encouraged our daughter while ensuring we felt included and informed. Maristela truly became a part of our family during those early days, and we’re so grateful for her warmth and expertise.
With Maristela’s help, we were able to fully enjoy this precious time without the usual stress. Knowing our grandson was in such caring hands gave us great confidence. We can't recommend her highly enough! Thank you, Maristela, for making this journey so special for all of us.

I am so grateful to have stumbled upon Teka through the NCS Postpartum Doulas overnight group. Her professionalism is interspersed with funny jokes, encouragement, and humanity. She definitely brought lightness to such a difficult time. We have depended on Teka to provide us with a wealth of breastfeeding knowledge and random first-time parent questions, such as how to burp, how to set up the pump, measuring my nipple, etc. It has been so good to rely on her during this process. She has been wonderful in trying to match us with backup doulas to meet our needs, and again, she has helped us every step of the way, not only as a postpartum doula but also with breastfeeding!

Teka worked with our family as a doula for both of our children, and we couldn’t have asked for a more supportive and understanding presence. As a gay couple, she made us feel completely comfortable and respected. In 2019, she was the doula for our daughter, Eva, and in 2021, she supported us again for the birth of our son, James. Her professionalism, kindness, and genuine care made such a positive impact on our journey as parents. Tekas was always there when we needed her, offering guidance and reassurance with compassion. We highly recommend her to any family looking for a thoughtful and dedicated doula!

I’m thrilled to share my appreciation for Teka, who has been an incredible mentor and friend on my journey to becoming a doula. Her support and guidance have made a profound impact on my life.

With over 25 years of experience in child care, Teka’s success is a testament to the love and trust families place in her. Her professionalism and skill are remarkable, but it’s her genuine care and warmth that truly set her apart. She brings both expertise and a personal touch to everything she does.

Working alongside Teka over the years—sharing contracts and supporting each other in our work—has been a privilege. Her encouragement and advice, especially during challenging times, have been a great comfort. It’s clear why she’s so respected in her field; her dedication to helping others shines through in everything she does.

If you’re looking for a doula who combines deep experience with heartfelt care, Teka is an outstanding choice. Her kindness and commitment make her a truly exceptional professional.

My daughter Elena was born on September 9, 2020, and we were incredibly fortunate to have Maristela for postpartum support. Her availability and willingness to answer questions, offer advice, and recommend the best bottles, nipples, and pump machines were invaluable. Maristela's ability to listen and understand our needs provided immense relief during a challenging time. I recommend her without hesitation!

Teka worked for us for over a year as a full time nanny for our daughter (1-2 years old) and occasionally for our son (3-4 years old). She is an amazing nanny and person: warm, friendly, very competent and responsible, has a positive attitude, and works very hard. She has no difficulty handling children in any situation. Above all she is a professional who takes her work very seriously. In short, if you are in need of help with child care, you could not find a better person to help!

Maristela took care of Jamie my son and I for four months. Because of the complications of birthing the child we needed extra care and attentiveness. Maristela did an outstanding job adapting to all the changes and taking care of our family. We always felt safe resting at night when Maristela was in charge, she is the absolute best of the best and we are so grateful for her and the positive impact she's had on our family.
