We had such a wonderful experience with Melissa. From the very first night, she was professional, caring, and incredibly competent. She made our nights so much easier, giving us peace of mind knowing our newborn was in excellent hands. Not only did she take amazing care of our baby, but she also went above and beyond by cleaning bottles and helping with baby laundry, which made a huge difference for us during those exhausting early weeks. She was gentle, attentive, and always reassuring. We are so grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to any family in need of a night doula.
