Testimonial for Karen McMahon Postpartum Doula / Newborn Care Specialist
Karen is absolutly amazing. I can't tell you how lucky you are if you are able to get availability. I'll never forget one time I slept in, and I came down the stairs to see that she stayed late so I could get that extra hour. She was sitting on the floor with my son playing patty-cake and listening to children's songs. She even taught me a few ways to play with him! (He's my first, and I was clueless.) While we were sleeping, she even fixed some things around the house AND folded laundry! She then showed me how to fix the things she fixed, so I also learned house maintenance from her.
As a new parent, I honestly don't know how we would have survived the first few months without her. She made everything better. She is so knowledgeable and so patient and caring that I still quote her to my husband. I am a little late in writing this review, as it's been five months since she's worked with us, but I still think of her often and use a lot of the tricks she taught me. (Did you know looking your baby in the eye makes his heart rate go up? Babies actually get excited when you look at them, so if you want them to sleep, don't look them in the eye if they happen to wake up in the night!)
In my mind, Karen is a complete saint and a standard that nobody else can live up to. Believe me, if she did daytime nannying for older kids, she would still be working with us. I can't thank her enough for all that she did for my family.
