To be completely honest, I was very hesitant in hiring any postpartum doula due to the fact that they are expensive and realistically, a stranger taking care of my newborn baby while I’m asleep! However, I had a very difficult postpartum period with my first baby and therefore, wanted to be more prepared my second time around. I interviewed soooo many doulas before finding Autumn. A lot of them didn’t have the experience or professionalism I was looking for. When I met Autumn, we instantly clicked! She sent me copies of all of her licenses, certifications, and clearances right off the bat. She then shared a Google drive folder with me that had so much information in it. Any time I had a question, I could easily search the drive and find the answer I was looking for. Autumn also provided a professional contract for both of us to sign and even a shared calendar so I could see her availability at any given time. If she wasn’t available, she provided two vetted back up doulas that I could utilize-in case if emergency. She even set up times for me to meet those doulas so that I didn’t feel uncomfortable having them in my home, should I end up needing their services! On her first day, Autumn showed up with formula coupons, a bottle wash bin, blanket organizer, and two swaddles that I could use! During our contract, she was always on time. She wore a mask and gloves, which made me feel really secure about keeping my baby safe from any germs that may be lurking around. She took amazing care of my entire family which ultimately helped me recover at a faster rate. It was so nice to wake up rested and to a clean house (she would do light laundry, dishes and bottles) every morning. She would also leave very detailed notes regarding how the night went. It has been one day since our contract ended and I can truly say that I already miss her so much! For anyone looking to hire some postpartum help, I highly recommend Autumn’s services!
