Testimonial for Zoe Deenihan
Working with Zoe was a fantastic experience. Her professionalism and deep knowledge of child development was extremely beneficial to us as new parents (with limited experience looking after kids). She has an innate gift with children, her abilities to sooth and calm our baby was fantastic to see and learn from. We discovered how to comprehend nonverbal cues such as how to know when our child is tired (red eyebrows!), orchestrate our first baby bath, wear baby carriers, and other basic tasks that helped build our confidence as caregivers.
I knew that the 4th trimester would be difficult but didn't really understand how challenging it would be to get through basic everyday tasks until I was fully in it running on empty. Zoe's guidance and support was a wonderful gift to keep our new family afloat. For example, we learned after hiring her that she is a fantastic cook! The meals she prepared for us saved us so much time and it can't be overstated how important that nourishment became. Each week also included general check ins during which she helped us identify where help was needed and from there would offer the assistance to ensure tasks were complete, connections were made, and appointments were scheduled.
I feel very fortunate that our first months as parents, while challenging in the way any major life event is, were manageable and low stress. This let us focus our energy on what mattered most – connecting with our new baby. Zoe's dedication, warmth, and professionalism made her an indispensable part of our journey, and we couldn't have asked for a better doula.
