Amanda was a very calming, assuring presence in a difficult time for us when we brought her on amid the covid pandemic in April 2020. Initially her service was zero-contact as both of our families distanced ourselves to stay safe, and it included regular video check-ins, nursing support, and meal preparation + delivery. As we got to know each other better we mutually agreed to transition to in-person visits, with strict protocols in place. Amanda was meticulous and professional.
We found her service to be invaluable in many ways. She listened and advised, she mediated between the two of us when we were too sleep-deprived to communicate with each other, she changed diapers and put the baby to sleep. She gave us the ability to nap when we had gotten no sleep the night before. She cooked, she cleaned, she folded laundry, she played with our older child. In moments of high anxiety related to postpartum healing and baby's developmental milestones, she was particularly understanding and able to guide us back to a calm space. We weren't sure what to expect when seeking doula support but she exceeded our hopes in every way.
