A few months before the due date of our twin girls, my husband and i decided to research a post partum doula. We got a glowing recommendation about Simone from a friend in Brooklyn who worked with her, and decided we should contact her. We met Simone at a coffee shop and knew immediately that she was somebody we could trust and that she had the knowledge we were looking for and needed as first time parents. After the first day of Simone being in our home, we realized our initial impressions were spot on. She seamlessly became a part of the family, helped me navigate through breastfeeding and pumping, mentored through all aspects of first time parenting(including bottles,newborn twin schedules and a perfect swaddle), all while remaining calm and reassuring. She even helped with cleaning and organizing, cooking breakfast and would even pick up items from the pharmacy or a coffee if we needed. Simone was a huge part of my post partum recovery as well. being a first time mother is truly unlike any other experience I can describe and she supported me and gave me the confidence I needed on some very hard days. She was always a person i looked to for advice and guidance during the first weeks, and to this day i would reach out if I had any questions. She still reaches out to us to check in which truly shows her dedication and love to the families she has worked with. She was reliable, trustworthy, respectful and always maintained a positive attitude. as difficult as it was being a first time mother of twins and recovery from surgery, I always looked forward to seeing her at our home each day. Simone was incredible with our girls. Watching her seamlessly navigate twins was incredible as first time parents, she always seemed to know exactly what to do. We will never forget all she did for our family during the early months and cannot thank her enough for her guidance and support.
