Testimonial for Mariola Klein
As first time parents, our family has been so fortunate to have Mariola's guidance for the first four postpartum and newborn months. At the initial meeting, Mariola met with us to see if we would be a good fit but didn't pressure us, suggesting we meet with other doulas before committing. Once we started working together, scheduling was very flexible - we started with multiple nights and days in the first two months, then switched to days only once the baby started sleeping through the night. Because Mariola helped us a few nights a week, we were able to get some much needed solid sleep without being on constant alert for the baby.
Perhaps the best part of working with Mariola is her calm presence and wealth of knowledge. In the early days, Mariola helped me with breastfeeding and milk storage advice. When I had no idea what to do with a newborn, she helpfully lent me a book on the topic. She was always a voice of reason whenever some new worry popped into our heads. Also, our baby loves Mariola! She plays with him on the playmat/around the house, takes him on walks to the nearby parks, and entertains him while he swims in the bathtub. Mariola really cares about our son, and it's great to have someone we trust watching over the baby!
Last but not least, Mariola's cooking is delicious. Stuffed peppers, grilled fish, homemade gnocchi, steaks...we've loved it all! Thank you, Mariola!
