Marlene was such a blessing for our new family. She provided overnight support for our newborn from birth until ~6 weeks. Since this was our first baby, she immediately made us feel at ease and supported with her warmth and friendliness.

Marlene is very professional: was always on time, followed our lead/routines, and offered a wealth of knowledge and advice when asked. She provided us tips for soothing, feeding, and sleep shaping to encourage longer stretches of overnight sleep (which was so valuable for us as new parents!) based on what she observed with our daughter.

It is so clear that she is extremely experienced and absolutely adores what she does. We cannot thank her enough for supporting us in the early weeks - it made a world of difference in adjusting to our new lives as parents. I would recommend her to anybody who needs postpartum or family support, day or night!

Marlene is simply the best! We spoke to a number of post-partum doulas and Marlene was a breath of fresh air. From the moment we talked, we knew that we, and our little one, would be in great hands. Marlene is as kind as can be, steps in to support in every way that she can, balances  professionalism with wamrth in a way that made us excited every time she came over. If you are looking for someone to help with day-time or night-time support, we can’t reccomend Marlene enough. We guarantee that you’ll be singing her praises, like we are, and be sad to say goodbye!
