Testimonial for Mabel K.
Our family enjoyed a great relationship with Mabel. She provided support in a mother's helper roll to me starting at two weeks of life for my daughter until eight weeks of life. we reconnected briefly after we had both relocated to another city and she did provide childcare on a limited basis when my daughter was about 14 months old.
Mabel brought incredible insight into postpartum issues, compassion, and enthusiasm for getting tasks done. she brought a lot of joy during what was a very difficult time. For example she helped take some photos when all of the photography services had been suspended due to Covid. She helped scrub my bathtub which was not a pleasant task so that I could try warm baths to promote breast-feeding. even a simple tasks such as doing laundry, Mabel would fold the clothing in "Marie Kondo" style.
she is a gifted child care provider and has excellent sense of what a babt needs to feel safe and to thrive. furthermore she is very good at sharing her insights in a non-judgemental way so that I could learn from her practical tips to make caring for my child easier for me without making me feel like I was in adequate as a parent.
we had the opportunity to work with a skilled Doula. I think Mabel has many traits that could make her an excellent doula as well.
