Testimonial for Leslie Olson
Leslie is not only an incredible doula, but she is also one of the most loving and nurturing humans on the planet. She was a tremendous help right after I had our baby, doing night shifts and helping around in any and every way she could. Beyond cleaning, cooking, and doing laundry, she'd organize packages, baby clothes, and find resources for any questions we had about breastfeeding, transitioning our baby to solids, allergies, you name it. We loved her so much, we ended up working w/ her long after our baby girl turned 1yo! At this point, she is more than "doula care," she is family to us. I cannot recommend Leslie enough, though I do fear that if others reach out, she'll get too busy and won't be able to see us anymore! ??
UPDATE: I needed to write a follow-up to my review for Leslie because I really cannot overstate how wonderful she is! We had another baby girl in 2023 and we would not have survived w/o Leslie's support. Our toddler got Hand, Foot, Mouth Disease right before our second was born, so we had to quarantine for the first ~9 days of her life. I was changing all of our newborn's diapers when I was supposed to be resting and staying horizontal (as my husband was w/ our sick toddler) and it was far from ideal. Leslie's overnights were truly life-saving and I think I would have fallen into some serious postpartum depression had she not been there.
She continued to keep our family afloat for the next many months, and at this point, has traveled internationally w/ us multiple times! When you bring Leslie into your home, she will find all the gaps that you weren't even aware of and fill them. She has incredible communication, endless energy, and can almost read minds. The only problem w/ hiring Leslie is that she will raise the bar too high making it near impossible to find the same quality of support and professionalism elsewhere.
