Testimonial for Melanie Costa
It is my pleasure to submit a letter of recommendation on behalf of Melanie Costa for work as a postpartum doula. I have had the pleasure of knowing Melanie for 4 years and am very fortunate to have had her involved in the care of both of my children as newborns.
Melanie is a compassionate, empathetic, intelligent, and natural caregiver with an innate love for babies and children. She offered emotional, physical mental and practical support through conversation and nightly care and feedings, so that I was able to get some rest. She is very knowledgeable with all aspects of newborns from breastfeeding, soothing, swaddling, sleep and was able to help guide me when I was not sure how to handle different situations that arose.
Melanie has the ability to perceive needs of others and to fulfill them in a gentle, non-invasive way. At times she alleviate any worry, guilt, concern through her reassuring and calm nature. She advocates for both mother and child and truly encourages bonding and nurturing the mother/child relationship. She provided a sense of calm during a stressful time for my family.
Melanie is a great communicator and is will always ask if she isn’t clear on instructions, and acts promptly without guidance on what needs to be done. She is always on time and always shows up with a smile on her face and a positive attitude.
After several years of helping with my children, I can confidently say that anyone who has the privilege of working with Melanie will be lucky to have her.
