I am very enthusiastically recommending Maria Maloney as a doula. Maria has looked after our children for almost eight years and over this time has become a part of our family. She has watched our daughter since she was three and our son since he was born. Maria has also worked with me in my office where I work as a psychiatric nurse practitioner.
Maria has been highly motivated to help our children develop and grow. She has taken both children on countless adventures including overnights and week-long vacations. Additionally, she has helped out in all aspects of our home, from organizing the shelves in the kids’ rooms to grocery shopping and cooking. From helping prepare for the kids’ birthday parties to bringing the children to dance lessons and medical appointments. In a clinical setting, Maria has demonstrated skill in building rapport with my clients and in utilization with my electronic medical record software.
In summary, Maria possesses all of the qualities that make an employee doula. Maria is creative, capable, patient, reliable and understanding. She has been very flexible with the hours we have asked her to work and the extra tasks that we have asked her to complete. She has always been able to take constructive feedback well. Maria has a better sense of humor than anyone else I know and an empathy and compassion for others that is evident in all that she does.
Once again, I highly recommend Maria Maloney as a doula. If you have any questions that I might be able to answer, please feel free to contact me at any time.
