We had a great experience with Kelly as our postpartum night doula after the birth of our daughter. We worked with Kelly for ~6 weeks after we came home from the hospital. She made herself available during the busy holiday period to meet us at home the night we came home from the hospital, which was so helpful as I recovered from delivery. Kelly was helpful, communicative, and proactive in taking care of our daughter and was able to recommend products and tips as we faced various challenges over the first few weeks at postpartum. We would definitely work with Kelly again!

Kelly provided overnight support for our baby, and we truly cannot recommend her enough. From the very beginning, we trusted her completely. She stayed awake through countless nights, always attentive and responsive to our son's needs. Kelly is incredibly patient and genuinely cares about a baby’s well-being, not just following a checklist, but really tuning in to what the baby needs in the moment. She was excellent at respecting and following our family’s rules and preferences, which made us feel very comfortable. She showed up for us when we needed support the most, and her communication was always professional, clear, and reassuring. We are so grateful for her care and dedication, and any family would be lucky to have her.

Kelly was a lifesaver for us! We were looking for postpartum care for our 3-month old and she exceeded our expectations. We worked with her for nearly 3 months until our daughter started daycare, and Kelly proved to be knowledgeable, reliable, trustworthy and genuinely caring about our daughter's well-being and development. She is a calm and nurturing presence and truly loves working with little ones and helping them grow and develop. Besides giving me the chance to rest and take care of myself, Kelly also taught us many tips and tricks for our baby that helped us build confidence in the early postpartum days. We are so grateful we found her!

Kelly helped us out for two nights when our regular night doula was in vacation and she was AMAZING! Our regular doula recommended her, but it's still nerve-wracking to trust your newborn with someone new, but Kelly instantly put us at ease and was so wonderful with our son. We really appreciated how she asked such thoughtful questions to understand our care preferences, and how she jumped in to help with several tasks that our regular doula typically supports. Kelly not only took great care of our baby so we could get some sleep, but she also was great to talk to for us parents. We had to take our baby to the ER during the day before she came over, and while he was totally ok, it was very stressful. Kelly was able to make me feel so much better about the whole thing. We highly recommend her and will continue to work with her to fill in gaps with our regular doula.
