Testimonial for Juanita Harris CD(DONA)
Juanita is the greatest blessing a growing family could hope for. She does it all – prepartum support, birth/labor, postpartum support, night nannying, infant sleep coaching, and lactation counseling – and she does it flawlessly. I've posted more details below, but the bottom line is that, thanks to Juanita's support and coaching, our high-risk twin daughters (1) were born naturally, without a c-section, (2) have been exclusively breastfed, (3) have slept all the way through the night since they were two months old, and (4) have grown into happy, smiley, healthy little girls.
From the moment we interviewed her, my husband and I were blown away by Juanita's expertise, confidence, and sense of humor. Throughout my pregnancy, she provided incredible prepartum support, helped me avoid a C-section, and to have the birth experience I'd always wanted.
After the twins were born, Juanita also provided nighttime postpartum support (including lactation consulting) for the first 3 months of their lives. She used gentle/no-cry sleep training techniques to teach the twins to connect their sleep cycles, and she had them sleeping 6 hour stretches at night within the first 6 weeks. By 3 months, they were sleeping 10+ hours straight and they've kept it up ever since.
On top of all this, Juanita found time every night to fold laundry, wash the dishes, organize our toddler's playroom, and complete a bunch of other miscellaneous household tasks. My husband and I loved waking up every morning to clean, organized house almost as much as we loved waking up to happy, well-rested babies.
The only downside of hiring Juanita is that you will never want to let her go. To this day, she is the only person my husband and I trust to stay with our kids when we out of town overnight for business conferences or for long weekends. Our family adores her, and I know that yours will too.
