Testimonial for Julie Palmisano
Having Julie help, our family was the best decision we ever made! We were first-time parents with little to no knowledge of handling a newborn. Because it was Covid times, we had no family around to help us out, but we were so thankful we had Julie.
Julie is knowledgeable and highly professional. Julie was easy to talk to, kind, and welcoming. It didn't take any time before we felt like she was family. It was clear that this was someone who loved doing what she did. Not only is Julie a workhorse, working tirelessly through the entire time with us, but Julie was also proactive and took care of things around the house, our meals (and boy, were they delicious!!), and our mental well-being.
Julie was phenomenal with our baby, and she could quickly calm our little one and get her to sleep. Julie would judiciously keep logs of the feeding and diaper changes which allowed us to relax through the night. Knowing that our baby is in good hands gave us immense relief. Our baby did not have enough wet diapers in the first week postpartum. The doctors were sure we would have to take our little one to the ER if things didn't change within the next day. Julie stepped in, gave us timely advice, and helped us get on an aggressive feeding schedule. Julie made sure that I was well-rested had snacks and water during every feed. Small things like these made all the difference in the world. Julie enabled us to get on a schedule that allowed us to be independent in a very short period. We wished we could have Julie around for longer, but she rightfully emphasized that the point of having a doula was so to equip us to handle this by ourselves. She was indeed our rock!
Julie went above and beyond what was expected of her, and for that, we are so grateful. We have no doubts that she would be a fantastic fit for any family! Thank you, Julie, for everything!
