Testimonial for Tonya Tyler CPD, NCS, LE, specializing in overnight care
If you’re considering hiring Tonya, don’t hesitate one more second! Having Tonya around during the newborn stage was worth every single penny and more.
From the first time we met over video chat, Tonya’s kind, positive energy helped me to feel grounded. I immediately felt comfortable around and trusted her, and my instincts were right: she brought so much warmth and love (and delicious food!) into our home when she came to spend the nights with our baby.
Being able to sleep a little more soundly—and in much longer spurts!—when you have someone around you can trust the way we wholeheartedly trusted Tonya with our baby is tremendous in those early days.
As a brand new mom, the self-doubt can be overwhelming: am I doing X wrong? Is it okay that my baby is doing Y? Tonya was there to reassure me and help me build (and maintain) my confidence as a mother. She pointed out and complimented things that were going well, and proactively sent helpful resources on a range of topics from how many ounces my baby should be eating to understanding quiet vs. active sleep in newborns.
Before this, I never really could wrap my head around what a postpartum doula would do to “take care of me”—I am fairly independent and don’t like to ask for help. But I didn’t even have to ask: Tonya figured out ways to lift my spirits, build my confidence, and nourish my soul. There is the old saying “If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.” While Tonya gave us the gift of peace of mind and rest on the nights she spent with us, I value even more how she guided me as my guardian angel through my transition into motherhood.
Tonya is truly a treasure! We are forever grateful to her for giving our new little family such a wonderful start together.
