We're first time parents with a preemie baby who spent a lot of time in the NICU and who came home with a nose tube and a feeding aversion. We couldn't be more worried and stressed, and Mia was an immediately calming and soothing presence. She connected with our son and us seemingly effortlessly - she's kind, thoughtful, proactive, and clearly very experienced taking care of babies and new parents! She spent quality time with our son, reading stories, doing tummy time, holding him and comforting him through feeds and naps. She also helped us with baby laundry, straightening up the nursery, washing an endless number of bottles and pump parts, and Mia also learned to use our son's feeding pump and prep feeds for his tube. Mia found useful tools and gear for us to have on hand and has great recommendations - we're very grateful for our time with her! It was lovely to spend time with her and to have her help. Mia is an excellent addition to any family's team!

I hired Mia after my 2nd birth. She is just amazing- such a ray of sunshine and aura of calm! She is studying therapy, hence she is very non-judgmental and very supportive on all topics. Some people can just get babies relaxed and Mia is one of them. I felt I was in the best hands with her and highly recommend her!

“I had Mia and two other doulas help out after my 2nd baby. They did various shifts throughout the day and evenings. Mia was fantastic. Like having someone who is a combination of a good friend and professional support. I was always very comfortable when she took care of our daughter. Given the nature of having 2 children, she was very flexible in whatever help they needed. Mia is very non-judgemental and helped us in every way. Due to her support, I was able to spend time with my newborn and my husband could take care of our older child. I am so grateful I was able to have so much help after birth this time!”

Mia was IMMENSELY helpful after the birth of my second daughter.  My second daughter was born just 22 months after my first, so I had 2 kids under 2 for the first few months.  I also had a second c-section so I had limited ability to lift and significant pain for the first few weeks.  And, my first daughter understandably still needed a lot of attention while my second daughter only liked to sleep while being held, which posed a significant challenge.  Mia is a calm, caring, and kind person who somehow knew just the right thing to do or say in that environment.  Mia would lovingly hold the newborn daughter so that she would sleep - for hours on end, it seemed - and would compassionately listen to me vent about the many challenges of having 2 young children, trying to work at the same time, and trying to physically get back to a comfortable space.  If there was ever any downtime, Mia would fold laundry, do dishes, play with my older daughter, and just generally make everyone's lives better!  To be honest, I wish Mia could have just moved in with us for the duration as she made every hour she was there SO much easier and more pleasant.  Our first few months with 2 kids under 2 were not easy, but they were manageable BECAUSE we had Mia helping us.
