Testimonial for Aimee Strader
We thankfully met Aimee this winter just before our second little one arrived. The same week our baby was born, the COVID crisis went into full swing along with the choas of lockdown etc. Not sure what we would have done without her.
We LOVED Aimee!
We didn’t know about post partum doulas with our first but being new to Green Lake and to Seattle with our second, our midwives suggested the idea. We found Aimee and were so lucky we did! It was so great to have an extra pair of hands in those first 6 weeks postpartum and honestly less complicated than relying on family - which we couldn't have anyways due to travel bans etc.
If you are looking for a solid, super helpful, caring and professional support person who takes social distancing seriously, then Aimee is awesome. She helped us manage the transition to two in the challenging first months of Covid Lockdown. We had no other support people and she really did help us muddle through in those early days. Preserved my sanity - especially when my husband had to go back to work!
Aimee was quick to jump into action when she came over in the mornings, helped with any task we needed, gave lots of baby cuddles so I could have a break, provided mom with lots of snacks and sometimes just tired mommy conversation.
Welcoming a new baby literally in the first weeks of COVID was unchartered territory for everyone but Aimee maintained her composure, shared our concerns, and maintained open communication so that everyone felt comfortable with expectations and managing feelings around covid etc. She was very easy to talk to.
We highly recommend Aimee for any family who is searching for a friendly doula who can blend into their family life and chaos seamlessly. We wish we could have had her stay forever.
