Testimonial for Noel Merkel
Noel is an incredible doula and newborn care specialist! She helped us immensely with our baby starting around day 2. She worked with us 2-3x/week until our little was about 5 weeks old. In the first week or so, it was great to have Noel at our house at night just to ensure that my husband and I got more rest. I had hesitations about having someone who I didn't know very well care for our baby at night when she was so little. I wanted to spend every moment with her. But Noel is amazing with babies and I immediately felt completely at ease and excited about her spending the nights with our baby. Noel is so kind, trustworthy, and confident. She speaks to babies with both enthusiasm and softness, and she clearly has the magic touch to soothe any fussy baby! Every morning, Noel would give us the rundown of how the night went, what she noticed and learned about our baby and any advise she had for the coming nights that she wouldn’t be with us. We were also having some trouble with our baby sleeping during the day and Noel helped us troubleshoot and suggested a wonderful schedule to follow that worked really well for us. Noel is a wealth of knowledge about babies and their rhythms/patterns. She pays very close attention to them and has so much experience with different babies, especially with twins! I would highly recommend Noel to any family who has a newborn or a young baby at home and wants some rest or needs some help with sleep or a generally fussy baby. We miss having Noel around our home and we know our baby does, too!
