Testimonial for Christine Yates
My wife and I were in need of short-notice help during a gap in our scheduled postpartum care in August, and we were fortunate to connect with Christine when she had availability. It turned out to be the best coincidence we could have asked for on our postpartum journey. Christine joined us when our daughter was about 1.5 months old, shortly after our previous live-in nanny transitioned to a new family. At the time, I had already returned to work, and we were feeling quite overwhelmed managing our daughter’s care during the day, handling night shifts, and navigating the uncertainties of new parenthood without guidance.
From the very first night, Christine made us feel completely at ease with her approach, which was marked by kindness, care, and attention to detail. Admittedly, we can be particular about how things are done, but Christine exceeded our expectations in almost every way when it came to overnight care. She was incredibly supportive of our preferences, quickly familiarized herself with our nursery setup (even taking the initiative to map out all our tools that we didn’t have the time to go over), and demonstrated a genuine commitment to our daughter's well-being.
Some key highlights of Christine’s care that we especially appreciated include:
- Christine consistently took our notes about our daughter into consideration and offered thoughtful observations, personal experiences, and non-medical suggestions.
- She was able to settle our daughter back into her crib for most of the night, which gave us great peace of mind knowing she was sleeping well.
Christine kept detailed notes of the night’s events, allowing us to take over in the morning with a clear understanding of how the night went.
I honestly cannot imagine a better doula. I highly recommend Christine to any parents seeking postpartum care, knowing that your baby will be cared for with the utmost love and dedication.
