Our family is very fortunate to have Mayra as our night doula during the first 6 weeks postpartum.
Mayra is very professional yet friendly and puts us at ease with her calming presence. I really like that she brings a wide range of infant and postpartum care knowledge and skills (from hand expression for breast milk, massage to relieve gas, burping techniques, nursery lighting and temperature, sponge bath, etc.) At the end of each night, she would also send us a detailed summary of feeding, diaper, and sleeping activities so we can review, discuss, and set up a routine that would work best for us. She is very respectful of our family's preferences such as pacifier use, bottle, sanitizing methods, etc.
Lastly, what I really appreciate is that her service doesn't end after the 8-hour night shift, she would check in with us throughout the day and message us during her off hours to provide recommendations and links/tutorials for us to learn about various newborn care questions that we have as first time parents. Her check-ins during the day also provide great emotional support to our family, as it makes us feel like we always have someone to answer our questions and be there for us. She also checks in on our mental well-being and that's something I did not expect and really appreciate.
Overall, I am extremely thankful to have Mayra and the care that she provided our family.
