Tabu worked with us for the first 8 weeks after our second baby was born. She was fantastic. She is so warm, friendly, and nuturing. She understands babies really well and intuitively knows what they need. She really helped our son learn how to sleep and I was thankful for the progress he made while she was here. She was also an important source of comfort and support for me. There was one night when our son went on a 24 hour breastfeeding strike--which was very stressful at the time--and she helped support me and had ideas of what we could do that night to bring him back to breastfeeding. I really enjoyed her company and loved talking to her. We consider Tabu part of our family and we will be forever grateful for her.

We had an amazing experience working with Tabu, and she will be the first person I reach out to when I'm pregnant with my second. She was referred to me by my sister who had the same wonderful experience.

We hired Tabu as a night doula for 8 weeks. I credit her with our son's great sleep. She also helped us as we learned how to take care of an infant and as I learned to breastfeed.

Tabu was right on time every evening, communicated very well, and was truly a part of our little family.

Tabu was amazing. She was our night doula for our newborn twins. She had amazing energy and was just always a joy to have in our home. She made the transition into being twin parents a lot easier on us and I dont know how we wouldve done it without her!!

Tabu is just amazing. We originally booked her for 3 nights per week and quickly asked for her to come for more! She has a wonderful, vibrant energy. Despite being totally exhausted all the time (you know, being a new Mom and all), I would stay up when she arrived so I could talk to her about life, taking care of babies, and watching them grow up (she has three kids of her own). She loves the kids she doulas for as if they were her own. But the thing that really sticks out to me about my experience with Tabu is how she helped me gain confidence as a new Mother. I still keep in touch with Tabu and can't wait to have her doula for my second kiddo!

Tabu was a postpartum night doula for both of my sons during the first 2 months of their lives. She is warm, calm, compassionate, and knowledgeable. We felt that we could trust her immediately, and she quickly became like family. I am so grateful for the gift of rest she provided to me and my husband during those trying weeks as a new mom.

Tabu is incredible and has a true passion for infant care and for helping families navigate welcoming a new baby into their lives! We have worked with Tabu twice and had an incredible experience both times. She is very supportive and knowledgeable, and was an essential partner to me as I figured out breastfeeding and juggled work demands (I own a small business and my maternity leave was limited) and motherhood. We've referred her to several friends who have all had great experiences as well. Tabu is collaborative and always has a positive attitude, which I loved! Both of our children responded so well to her and it was amazing to be able to sleep soundly knowing that they were in good hands. Would recommend her to anyone!

A friend of ours recommended Tabu and she is AMAZING. She worked with us for 3 months, 5 nights/week and was a huge help in ensuring that my husband and I could get some much-needed rest after our baby was born. She was my partner in the new-mom journey and even helped our son get into a good sleep routine toward the end of her time with us.

In the beginning, I slept between the baby's feedings and because we had Tabu my husband got a full night's rest every night, and as a result was very energetic and able to help me during the day. Tabu helps with light housework as well - it was a huge relief in the morning to wake up and have a sink clear of dishes. Our baby is now almost a year old and we've recommended Tabu to 2 families, both of whom have had positive experiences. She even comes back to watch our son sometimes so that we can have a date night and is filling in this week while our regular nanny is on vacation. I would recommend Tabu to anyone!

We found Tabu through a friend's referral, and are so thankful that Tabu helped us the first few months of our daughter's life.  Our daughter was a little colic-y and had a difficult time sleeping more than a few minutes in a row.  Tabu gave us a much-needed break from the crying and bouncing during the night, helped stretch the time between feedings so that we could get longer stretches of sleep (when appropriate), and did it all while maintaining a positive outlook.  Tabu drew from her years of experience with babies to help us identify potential issues that we would never have known to look out for (e.g. very hungry baby that required formula supplementation, silent reflux), while putting our minds at ease when we worried over the little things (like hiccups!).  We would, and have, whole-heartedly recommend Tabu!

We were so fortunate to have Tabu Boone join our family for the first 6 weeks of our newborn son’s life. She not only took great care of our son overnight so that we could get some rest, but was a wealth of information and hands-on guidance about postpartum health, breastfeeding, infant sleep, and general infant care. We felt immediately at ease when she was around. Even since she worked for us (oh, I wish we could have kept her longer!) we have remained in touch. She is, simply put, lovely. I would not hesitate to employ her again in the future.
