Testimonial for Jennifer Anderson
Jennifer was a night doula for our family in October 2021. I found her through a mutual acquatance, and I was impressed with her at our first meeting. She is very friendly and personable. She took the time to understand my needs and worked with me to find a schedule that fit my budget, as I had not originally planned to hire a night doula - I didn’t even know they existed! When my husband had to work a night shift for a few weeks, I knew I needed help with our then 4 month old son, and Jennifer was amazing.
Another consideration for us is that as part of the adoption process for our son, before the adoption is finalized, there are so many extra legal requirements for caregivers in the home. It was extra time on her part to comply with all these requirements, which she did right away. She was incredibly proactive about making sure all the paperwork was submitted and filed, even calling the adoption agency to follow up when they were slow to respond. If she had not been so proactive, the paperwork would likely not have been filed by the time I needed help.
She was always early and didn’t rush out when the night was over. She was good with Matteo, she has a calming presence. She helped me with tips for how to help my son sleep longer stretches, for those nights when I didn’t have her over. He was sleeping though the night by the end of her time with us. She even had advice non-sleep baby things that I worried about. I am thankful for her advice and encouragement. Even after she was no longer our doula, she would text to check in and see how I was doing.
I am so thankful for Jennifer and I would highly recommend her to anyone!
