Working with Chessa was amazing. As a first-time mom, the newborn stage is incredibly challenging—the lack of sleep, constant feedings, and figuring everything out for the first time, etc. I knew early on that we would need help, especially once I started experiencing complications with breastfeeding, and a postpartum doula seemed like the best option.
Chessa was very responsive to my online inquiry, and we quickly established a start date with hours that were flexible and fit our needs. She always listened carefully and provided excellent support. Chessa did so much for our family, including bottle-feeding, laundry, diaper changes, baths, cooking and meal prep, grocery pickup, dishes, bottle and pump part washing, showing me how to use baby gear, assembling baby items like a high chair and stand up activity center, providing guidance on newborn care, explaining developmental stages, helping with home organization, and sharing helpful resources along the way. I never had any concerns leaving our daughter in her care while I went to doctor appointments or ran errands.
She even bonded with our cats and truly became an extension of our family—and a wonderful friend. She is very calm and patient, and was never rattled or overwhelmed. I would highly recommend Chessa to anyone looking for compassionate, reliable postpartum support.
