When our beloved 2nd daughter was born, she absolutely refused to sleep in her bassinet! A common tale, and one we encountered with our first daughter as well... but it turns out that managing that challenge is a bit more difficult with a 3 year old at home too. 10 days after she was born, we were zombies, barely functioning after endless nights of taking shifts staying up, and days full of toddler-wrangling. Enter our fairy godmother: Allison! From the moment we chatted on the phone, Allison brought a calming presence to our whole experience. We were able to hire her for 3 nights a week for 6 weeks and OMG what a difference our "Allison nights" made!! She's a baby whisperer through and through, and just oh-so-encouraging -- you can't help but feel taken care of with Allison in your home. She was able to work with our daughter on getting longer stretches in her bassinet, and we were able to get some quality shut-eye in between :) Allison always left us dilligent notes about what was working/not working, what our daughter seemed to respond to, etc., so we were all able to troubleshoot and learn together. I am SO grateful for Allison's help in those early weeks and would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for some extra support in those newborn days. Thank you, Allison!!

Allison is a fantastic doula. She took care of our 2 month old son who was premature and has a unilateral club foot (was going thru casting at the time) - she has such a calming, sweet presence and we felt immediate trust and comfort when we met her. Our little man did great on overnights with her...she left very detailed notes on his routine and even tidied and cleaned living area while he slept. I don't know how she does it all! Highly recommend!

Allison was a huge support in our first few nights as first time parents. She helped greatly! Her gentle and calming nature helped ease our anxieties and we felt extremely comfortable leaving our son in her care while we were able get a few hours rest.

Allison is beyond amazing with newborns. She cared for our baby until she was 4 months old and truly couldn't imagine our postpartum journey without her compassionate heart and education. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for support.
