Testimonial for Sasha Lazare, CD (DONA)
I hired Sasha as my postpartum doula, to help me three days a week for a month while my husband was at work. She was a lifesaver and I honestly don't know how I could have gotten through postpartum without her. Sasha ran errands, helped with laundry and dishes, cleaned, cared for my baby, and answered all my first-time mom questions. As a certified doula, she had a wealth of professional knowledge. But as a mom herself, she also had incredible warmth and compassion for my experiences. She went above and beyond in supporting me in breastfeeding and accompanying me to a pediatrician appointment with my baby. She also anticipated my needs, including organizing my baby’s toys in a way that she knew would make me happy.
I was worried about what it would be like to have someone I didn’t know in my house for hours at a time, but I felt so comfortable. Sasha sensed when to be unobtrusive and let me nap or spend quality time with my husband, and also knew when I needed social interaction and advice. I took the BEST naps while Sasha expertly cared for my baby and kept herself constantly busy helping around the house.
My baby adored Sasha, and she was amazing at caring for him. She kept him happy, clean, and fed, but also worked on milestones with him like tummy time and play time.
Overall, I could not recommend Sasha more highly. I have recommended her to people that I know personally, in addition to writing this review. If I have another baby, I would absolutely hire Sasha again and I know I would have the same wonderful, comfortable experience that I had this time.
