Testimonial for Meredith Swierczynski
I was skeptical when my wife let me know she wanted a doula. We're surrounded by each others' parents constantly. My mom comes during the week, her parents are here on the weekends, and I work a late schedule where I'm up for most of the night and can attend to the baby over night. What I didn't foresee is that, at 35 years old, I don't have the energy I had even just 2 years ago when our first child was born...
This second child was also arriving during my busy season. As a business owner, I'm not able to take paternity leave if I also wish to provide sustenance for the family. While I have a "can do" attitude, in the weeks before the second child arrived, I realized I was overestimating myself. My work demanded a lot from me this year, and I regularly found myself exhausted and stretched thin in the weeks before the date of our scheduled c-section. Balancing our first born, home chores and work in the lead up to the second child's arrival was wearing on me. I didn't even have time to sustain my work outs and had it not been for Meredith I would've run myself (and my business) aground.
It was incredible watching Meredith work. She was not only there for my wife, but she was there for me too. Having Meredith was like pressing an easy button. Beyond the work she did to support my wife and the newborn, Meredith has so much child psychology knowledge that was so applicable and helpful for our toddler and us as parents. She took intiatve in so many ways and I remember sitting at my desk one day marveling about how stress free I felt. I hadn't been so stress free in years.
Meredith's level of service was like a private luxury hotel. The epitpme of her attentiveness and attention to detail was how our bed sheets were always folded to look like something out of a magazine. If you can imagine that level of service sewn into everything Meredith did, you'll accurely picture how phenomenal she is.
