Testimonial for Shannon Cronin, CPD(CAPPA), CD(DONA)
Shannon was incredible! When we hired her as a night doula, we thought she would primarily be helping us get more sleep (which she absolutely did!), but she ended up being so much more than that. She was also incredibly reliable and always showed up right on time, which helped us build so much trust in her from the very beginning.
She helped guide us through the entire transition into parenthood. Before our son was born, she came over to help us think through our setup and establish a nighttime routine. She even came over our very first night home from the hospital, which immediately put our minds at ease. From the beginning, she was incredibly thoughtful and supportive—not only of Owen, but of me as a first-time mom as well.
She provided thoughtful advice, helped us understand Owen’s cues, and gave us the confidence to trust our instincts as new parents. She never made us feel judged or overwhelmed; instead, she was a calm, reassuring presence during a huge life transition.
I truly don’t think we would be the parents we are today without her support.
If you’re looking for someone who is thoughtful, trustworthy, and dependable—and who will do so much more than simply care for your baby at night and help with feedings—I cannot recommend Shannon enough. She will not only help you get some much-needed sleep, but will guide you through those early days of parenthood and provide the reassurance, knowledge, and moral support that every new parent needs. We are so grateful we found her!
