Testimonial for Junko Watanabe Ziemba
My family and I hired Junko for the postpartum period it was the best decision we made.
After the birth of our first child, my wife and I realized how intense and overwhelming having a baby is. As a result, we decided that we definitely needed a postpartum doula once we found out we were having a second child.
Junko is truly absolutely incredible. She is truly a fairy! She reminds me of Mary Poppins. She is incredibly professional and knowledgeable about all things postpartum nutrition, breastfeeding, baby cues, parents, etc. She always showed up early or on time, in the 3 months we worked with her she was never late or cancelled on us. She has a gift of being extremely professional but immediately feeling as if she is a part of your family with her warmth, kindness and non-judgemental demeanor.
Some highlights from our work with her:
1. Her food! She makes the most delicious meals while visiting you, and she also gifted us with meals. It was so incredible to have her work an overnight shift with the baby, only for our family to wake up to her warm and comforting breakfasts and kind notes. Amazing!
2. The kindness she extends to your whole family. While her focus is obviously to mother and baby, my toddler absolutely fell in love with her and Junko was always attentive to how a new baby was impacting our older child.
3. Our family got Covid while Junko worked with us. Even when she couldn’t visit because of quarantine, she checked up with us daily and delivered homemade meals to our home for two weeks. It helped us so much.
We are so sad that we “graduated” and we will miss her in our home so much, but we made such an incredible friend and support in Junko. Our family highly recommends her- in my opinion it is the best investment you can make in your family for the postpartum period.
