We were blessed to have Patti join us for the first few months of our son's life. Her expertise in infant care and her genuine kindness allowed my husband and I to rest assured knowing that our baby was well taken care of. You will be grateful you hired Patti, too, trust us. She is a breath of fresh air and pure delight to be around.

When I found out I was pregnant with baby number 2, my husband and I knew we wanted help with nights so that we would be less "newborn" exhausted. A close friend of mine recommended Patti, and I knew within a minute of meeting her that she was the perfect fit and that I could trust her with my baby. Her warm presence and baby knowledge was so reassuring and to see her with my little one made me so happy knowing she would be in good hands for the night. Patti is very resourceful as well as she would give us suggestions along the way to help us make little transitions here and there or she would answer any questions regarding breastfeeding, sleep training, etc. My husband and I would get excited every night that it was a "Patti" night and I can say that she truly made our second newborn experience delightful and eased a lot of the stress that comes with a newborn.  She stayed with us for 7 month and if we could have kept her forever, we would have! We love Patti SO much and we know anyone who has the honor to work with her will love her too!

I can’t say enough good things about Patti. I am soooo glad we found her and hired her as our PP doula! As a first time mom, I didn’t quite know what to expect in bringing home a newborn. I also do not have any close family living nearby who could help me, my husband works long hours and I care for my elderly mother who has mid-stage Alzheimer’s so I knew that I was in desperate need of some help once baby arrived. Well, help she did! The first night Patti stayed over, I woke up to breakfast in bed! She walked my dog, made dinner, tidied up around the house and was so kind to my confused mother. I really felt she was like my mom or auntie (she’s too young to be my mom) helping me out. I felt so comfortable with her. Patti has so much experience with babies with having 4 children and 5 grandchildren as well as all of her doula experience, I really learned a lot from her. She just loves babies and babies love her too. Added bonus is that she’s a good cook and makes yummy Italian meals. I was so sad to say goodbye to her. Patti is worth every penny! She is that extra pair of hands that you so desperately need after bringing home baby. If I get pregnant again, she is going to be the first person I call.

I am a first time mom and having Patti help us with our now 5 month old baby girl is a true blessing. Patti gives our daughter a soothing and loving environment when she is with her. Playtime is active and she never keeps the baby in one spot. She fosters her development by stimulating her senses and encourages our daughter with tons of positive reinforcement. Our daughter loves Patti, and has even started reaching for her when she enters her room to start the day. My husband and I needed someone to give me a break so that I could get some stuff done around the house and also get back into the gym. Leaving our daughter with Patti is so easy because I know that she gets the same kind of attention from Patti that she would from me. Our daughter, since birth, has been very alert and active, and Patti caters to her needs as well as makes sure she goes down when she's fighting it. With Patti I have piece of mind and that is priceless. We have had other doulas that haven't work out but we want to keep Patti with us for as long as possible. We plan on having other children and would love for Patti to be a part of their lives as well, so hopefully she will be available. We know how hard it is being first time parents and we understand that another family will really need her too, but it's hard for us to let go of her because we also know how hard it is to find good help, and she is a gem! So, if you have a baby on the way or are feeling a bit overwhelmed (which is normal), Patti can surely help to ease your worries. She is amazing and you can tell that being a doula is Patti's calling. I can't bost enough about her...we absolutely love her.
