In-Home Mom and Baby Care
After the birth of my first child, it was Amy that kept us sane during that first month! She was so accomodating, compassionate, and understanding not only in comforting my newborn but navigating my emotions as well. Her kind and sweet disposition makes her a natural as a Doula. Also, she was very knowledgable, but if there was something she was not as well versed in, she would research the topic during the evening and come back to me the next day with the information. I feel as if we hit the "Doula jackpot" in finding Amy!

Having a baby? Do yourself a favor and call Amy!!! I would highly encourage anyone who is having a baby to use a postpartum doula. Amy was fantastic in easing the transition to motherhood by offering support and advice in a gentle way. She helped build my confidence and was very encouraging. You can tell she absolutely loves babies and this is her calling. She is very trustworthy and I even left my few-week-old baby alone with her to run to the drugstore and she watched him for a few hours while my husband and I went to an infant CPR class. It was also helpful that she would run errands that I couldn't do since it's so hard to get out of the house with a little one. I would definitely use Amy again if I have another child.

Amy is a wonderful postpartum doula. She has helped me in numerous ways after my baby was born. She has come to my home to help take care of my newborn, as well as my 4-year-old, and can tell she loves infants and children of all ages. She is nurturing, supportive, helpful, and informative. In addition to caring for my children, she has helped make my life a little easier after coming home with a new baby by doing light housework and has always asked politely how she can help around the house. I've been fortunate to find someone like Amy who is trustworthy and reliable to come take care of my children for me when I need the help and don't have any family close by to come help me.

Welcome! I am a certified postpartum doula providing in-home care for mom and baby for the first weeks following birth. My goal is to help ease the transition into parenthood by providing practical and emotional support to the entire family.
When you top that with the additional demands of your own physical recovery, it may seem like things will never get back to normal. That's why having a doula is so helpful during the day. She'll encourage you, teach you little tips to make things easier, take care of your home and, or course, your new arrival. She'll help you establish the "new normal," while making sure you're fed, well-rested, and have plenty of time to snuggle and get to know your baby without any of the daily household concerns. All your needs are met while she's there, and if she's really good, you're set for quite a while after she's gone too!

Dear Amy,
It has been such a pleasure having you in our lives this past month. You have helped us adapt to our lives with James, our newest addition. You have taught us so many things, from swaddling to creating a feeding schedule. But most of all, you have given me the confidence to take care of him. I don't know how I would have gotten through his first month without you. Please feel free to post this to your website. I hope others will read it and be as lucky as we were in finding you!

Amy was so nurturing and took such good care of both me and my baby. I loved the way she interacted with my child and played with her, talked to her, and her. I always felt so comfortable then taking care of myself since I knew my baby was so being nurtured as well. I felt better equipped to deal with my day after a shower and a nap and a bit of "me" time. Her suggestions and support regarding feeding helped to set me up for success. No matter how hard the hours were before her arrival, I knew I had a reprieve coming with someone who understood the importance and hard work required to achieve my goals. I could survive the long nights of no sleep and a demanding baby when I knew my time would come to rest when Amy arrived the next morning. I can't put on a price on that knowledge and comfort!

As first-time parents of a wonderfully high-spirited baby we were running on empty when we contacted Amy to help us during the day as my husband and I transitioned back to work. We feel so lucky to have found her! From her first day with us we've known that our whole family is in loving and capable hands. She cares for our son as we would, helping him to learn and develop and grow, and teaching us all new things along the way. Not only is she wonderful for the baby, but also for me as a new mom - picking up the slack in household chores and making sure I'm taking proper care of myself - physically and emotionally. I really don't know how we would have made it through these past few months without her and would happily recommend her to anyone with a new baby (or a new mom and dad) in need of loving care.
