Testimonial for Madeline Whittaker
We worked with Maddie at the suggestion of another doula that we trusted, and it was a great recommendation. She helped us with overnights for our then 7-8 month old son. Maddie is a calm and reassuring presence for first time parents. We quickly trusted her and knew that Maxwell was in good hands and would be safe and well-cared for with her throughout the night. But Maddie went above and beyond that and helped us with thoughtful suggestions about sleep and taking care of Max in general. She directed us to the best book we have found on babies sleeping. Both her expereince as a doula and as a mom was invaluable. She was always punctual despite driving a long distance and somehow never seemed to tire despite caring for her own young ones as well.
After Maddie left us to have her third child, we looked her up months later and she helped us again with getting Max to finally sleep through the night. Her presence and advice throughout that process gave us the confidence to take initial difficult steps that we had avoided and that ultimately led to him sleeping through the night independently in short order. She was educated, flexible and easy to work with during a stressful time. The gift of our little guy sleeping through the night reliably is almost incalcuable.
We cannot recommend Maddie highly enough.
