Having overnight care can be extremely helpful in reaching overall success for setting nighttime goals for your baby. I support families anywhere from an 8 to 12 hour overnight shift. I work closely with families to ensure I meet your expectations and most importantly get you the most sleep.
Christina was our postpartum doula for several months and I highly recommend her. She made sure we slept and had moments of relaxation during our steep learning curve as new parents, ensured our son was well taken care of, and taught us so much about caring for a newborn. Christina was calm and supportive. She answered and anticipated so many of our questions with such a depth of knowledge and experience that we were able to skip many of the uncertainties and anxieties we were anticipating as first time parents. Christina is communicative, reliable, helpful, supportive, caring, and trustworthy, we’re so thankful for all she did for us!
