Testimonial for Alexis Rockey
Alexis is incredible. She’s everything you need in a postpartum doula: reliable, communicative, attentive, caring, and hardworking. I never had to explain something more than once, she knew how to operate all of our baby gear (Snoo, Baby Brezza, Doctor Browns bottles, complex swaddle technique, etc.), and she proactively asked great questions at each hand off to make sure she knew what was the same and what was different between each session (babies change fast!). She seamlessly integrated into our care routines and made it so easy for us to work with her and get what we needed: sleep.
Some context for this glowing review: Alexis stepped in last minute to care for our infant twins overnight when our contracted doula proved unreliable. The first time I met her, I opened the door with a crying baby in my arms and another crying baby upstairs. I immediately handed her the baby in my arms and showed her to the nursery, where she fed and soothed our fussy son as I walked her through the room and our babies’ routines. She took care of our babies several times per week for two months. We've worked with five postpartum doulas throughout our time as parents, many of whom were capable and caring, but Alexis is the only one I've hired again and again and the only one I recommend without reservation or qualifiers.
Our babies were not easy. They both had reflux. One was especially screamy, and the other was especially small and did a lot of cluster feeding. They wore different size diapers, needed different formulas, and drank different volumes via different bottle nipples. Alexis kept track of it all. She took care of our kids with the same degree of care that we would, and it was easy to relax when she was here. There simply aren’t enough words to say how highly we recommend her. If you’re looking for a postpartum doula, hire Alexis. We would still be working with her today if our babies hadn’t outgrown the need.
