Testimonial for Marina D'Amore
I had interviewed 3 doulas before meeting Marina. I wanted someone who would not only take care of my baby like it was her own, but someone that could guide me as a new mom. When I met Marina, we clicked instantly, she was a seasoned Mom and I knew I could trust her and look to her for advise. In February, we had planned that she would come the day I came home from the hospital, April 26th, until COVID 19 hit. Marina and I decided it was safest to postpone her coming to help my family, until my PPD got so bad, my pediatrician advised me to have Marina come as it was affecting how I was mothering. And so we worked it out that she would wear a mask, she was already extremely diligent about hand washing. Well, Marina is still with us today, after the best 7 weeks I could have ever asked for. She has been an angel to me and my family, and I'll always be grateful for her. I am able to get a good night's rest knowing my son is in the best hands possible. Marina, is quiet, comforting, knowledgeable and genuinely loves being a doula. She has been able to guide me with breastfeeding, provided me tips on caring for my new baby and has been a friend to me, when I felt very alone. My son was hospitalized for a UTI when he was 3 weeks old, and when we returned home from the hospital after 4 days, Marina made me and my husband a delicious meal, tidied my house, bathed my son and allowed us to catch up on sleep. We trust Marina implicitly and are so fond of her, I cannot speak highly enough about her. Marina willingly folds clothes, and has since organized my son's clothing perfectly! We love her dearly and feel that any family that hires her, is blessed to have her. I will be sad when we no longer need her, however I do plan to use her to watch my son during the day when needed. If you are looking for someone special to watch your newborn, Marina is your top choice!
