Post a testimonial for Eduarda Smid

My family had the pleasure of working with Duda while our regular night doula was on vacation and subsequently out sick, and she exceeded every expectation. She trained with our doula beforehand and was incredibly respectful in learning the flow of our home and the routines we’ve established. From the very first night, she stepped right in with such ease and confidence, supporting our household exactly the way we needed.
She cared for our twins flawlessly — it was immediately clear how highly capable and experienced she is. Taking care of twins is no easy job, from managing feedings for two, tracking who ate what, soothing two babies back to sleep, and juggling different needs, Duda managed all of this with grace, confidence, and empathy. On top of providing exceptional baby care throughout the night, she even made time for laundry and some light meal prep, which was such godsend during the newborn twin period.
One thing that truly stood out was how thoughtful she was toward me as a mother. She was reassuring, calm, and grounding — exactly what you hope for in overnight support. At one point she told me, “I’ve got it, you get some rest,” and it meant so much. Instead of feeling like I had to explain or oversee everything, I truly felt taken care of.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Duda. She is reliable, warm, attentive, and exceptionally skilled. Any family would be lucky to have her.

Duda was such a gift. She was so warm, calm, and just really knew what she was doing. She always seemed to know exactly what I needed before I even said anything. She made everything feel so much easier and less scary, and I honestly don’t know how we would’ve done it without her. She’s just so good at what she does — we felt so cared for the whole time.

We worked with Eduarda for six weeks in June, starting from the day we came home from the hospital with our baby. From the very beginning, she was warm, caring, and attentive, not just with our baby, but with us too.
She has great communication skills and made us feel comfortable and supported through every step. Even before the birth, Eduarda came to our home to check the nursery setup and helped us feel confident that everything was ready.
During her time with us, she was reliable, thoughtful, and always one step ahead of what we needed. Her presence brought a lot of calm and reassurance to those early weeks.
We’re so grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a postpartum doula.
