Testimonial for Winnie Cook, PCD(DONA),CLE
I had Whitney help out after the birth of our second child. She was with us for several sessions a week for six weeks. It was a great experience! Without family support in the postpartum period due to covid, I was looking for some help to ease recovery and hopefully relieve some of the pressure of this stressful time. Whitney was more than I could have hoped for. She quickly fit into our family's rhythms and was self-driven in her support, which was something that we had discussed in our intro meeting. She helped with newborn care (feeding/diaper/burping/napping) and was often able to multitask and get some chores done (load/unload dishwasher & laundry, folding, picking up toys,etc) She also bonded quickly with our 3 year old in the short periods where he was present. I would not hesitate to also leave him in her care. She cared for the newborn often while myself and partner rested/worked/daycare dropoff. She was reliable and punctual. Her communication was great both for status updates for feeding/diaper/sleep and also if any schedule changes were needed. She was responsive to any feedback/adjustments that were brought up. She was a great listener when we would chat and would often follow up on some of the topics that were discussed with more info or a check in. It is clear she enjoys working with families and is a great fit for this type of intimate work.
