Marcela is the best! She was with us from our first night home from the hospital, and I can't imagine going through those first months without her! 

She is so loving and nurturing to our son -- you can tell she truly loves babies, especially newborns. She taught us a lot (about relieving gas, about helping him to sleep, etc etc), and she really helped our son extend his sleep (4 hours by week 5, 8 hours by week 8, 12 hours by week 12...). 

She was very flexible -- at first we thought we'd only do 2 months, and we'd decrease from 4 nights a week to 3 nights a week the second month... But we ended up extending to 4 nights a week for 3 months. 

She was punctual every night for all 3 months. We think of her as a friend. Can't recommend Marcela highly enough!

Marcela is an incredible night doula. She was with us for the first 12 weeks of our baby's life overnight, and has continued as our babysitter from time to time since then. We wish she could be our full-time nanny, too! Marcela was very sweet and caring with our son, and also took care to instill good sleep habits in him as he got older. We credit her with his ability to sleep through the night from a young age. She also taught us (new/stressed parents) SO much - about sleep practices, feeding, managing a gassy baby, etc. It was extremely comforting to have someone with her experience and knowledge around during the first weeks and months.

Marcela is such a warm human. She made me feel comfortable and safe instantly from our first phone call. She is so emotionally attuned to people and mirrors the energy so well - her ability to read the room is wonderful. If we were tired, she would be brief. If we were silly, she would joke with us. If we were chatty, she'd converse. It felt seamless to have her in our home - she brought peace and calm. We have already recommended her to all our friends! It is so easy to see how much she loves babies - and bonus, she loves dogs too! Our dog wagged his tail so hard every time she came over. I can't say enough wonderful things about Marcela supporting our family. We will be calling her for all our future kids!!

Marcela was an exceptional overnight doula for our family! From day one, she was dependable, knowledgeable, and attentive to both our baby’s needs and mine as a recovering mom. I felt completely confident leaving my little one in her hands at night, and she helped me get the rest I desperately needed. I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you so much, Marcela!

Marcela was our overnight caretaker for our son starting from his first week of life through about 5 months. She was amazing and so loving towards him and was also happy to help with baby laundry and bottle cleaning.  We highly recommend her and would definitely hire again if we decide to grow our family again or have a need for childcare. Marcela also watch our 3 year old for about two nights at our home and took care of preschool drop off and pickup while my wife and I were at the hospitalnfor the birth of our second son. Our 3 year old loved spending time with Marcela.
