Testimonial for Bobbie McCormack, PCD
Bobbie was a wonderful match for our family as a PP doula. She was with us for 6 weeks and in that time, my husband and I learned a lot from her and as a result, gained more confidence in how we were understanding and interacting with our baby.
On paper, Bobbie has fantastic qualifications and experiences that are well-suited to being a PP doula. Her degree in early childhood education and her many years of experience running a pre-school mean she knows a lot and has seen a lot. In person, she has a very calming demeanor and way of interacting, which is wonderful for both the baby and the parents! It is clear that she has a passion for children and loves interacting with babies. She took a keen interest in our baby's growth and development, often bringing her own books, toys, and tools to use.
Bobbie is a great listener and quickly became attuned to what our family needed. She did light housekeeping and tidying without any prompting. It was so calming to enter a room where Bobbie had been - the bed had been made, items picked up and folded, dishes put away, bottles washed. We did meal prep and baked together a couple of times too, which was fun! She brought order to our home, which allowed us to feel more relaxed and at ease.
Having a PP doula is an experience I would highly recommend to any new parent. Being able to observe someone who's had experience with babies is so helpful. As a new parent, you figure out how to do things like feed your baby, change a diaper, etc. - it's good enough and works. But seeing how someone else does it can be so eye opening and help you discover even more effective or easier ways to care for your baby. Having someone who can hold and soothe your baby to give you a break is so crucial in the fourth trimester - and having someone there to bounce things off of is really comforting because there can be so many questions!
Any family would be lucky to have Bobbie as a PP doula.
