Larah has been absolutely amazing with our baby son Rory! We were fortunate to have her as a part time nanny with our daughter Basil two years ago, and I'm so grateful that she was available to be here for Rory. Larah is nicknamed the baby whisperer in our household because she is so good! She's great with all kids, her demeanor is always warm and kind, she is so comforting to Rory whenever he is fussy or needs cuddling. My husband and I trust her implicitly with both our kids and consider her part of our family. She's always on time, if not, a little early, always considerate of our house and space and she does little extra things around the house however she can. Larah is a great person, super personable and thoughtful. She communicates really well with us, and is always checking in to make sure we're on the same page about sleeping and feeding techniques for Rory. If anything changes with him, she makes sure I know as soon as possible and is always partnering with me to figure out how to help him sleep better and be comfortable. I cannot imagine my life without her, and I'm so glad she is doing this work for my family and others!

I cannot recommend Larah Pearson's night doula services highly enough. Larah was an absolute lifesaver for our family during a crucial time postpartum. From the moment she stepped into our home, her warmth, knowledge, and reliability was evident. Over the span of four months, Larah provided exceptional care to our newborn daughter, allowing us to get the rest we so desperately needed. As a mother recovering from childbirth and juggling the needs of a toddler, having Larah's support was invaluable. She not only ensured our newborn was well taken care of but also provided reassurance and guidance for us as parents. Larah's expertise and dedication were evident in every interaction. Her friendly demeanor put us at ease, and her extensive knowledge of infant care gave us confidence in her abilities. Knowing that Larah was there to handle nighttime feedings and comforting our baby allowed us to rest peacefully, knowing our daughter was in the best hands. Thanks to Larah, we were able to prioritize our own health and well-being, which ultimately made us better parents to both our newborn and our toddler. Her assistance was not just a luxury but a necessity for our family's well-being. If you're seeking a compassionate, reliable, and knowledgeable night doula, look no further than Larah Pearson. We are immensely grateful for her support and would wholeheartedly recommend her services to any family in need. Thank you, Larah, for everything you've done for us! Sincerely, Ashley McKinney
