"Being a first time parent is hard. It was scary for me and beyond stressful for my wife. So much new responsibility literally over night! That’s where Amy comes in. We interviewed Amy and immediately felt a connection: Not only was she sweet, thoughtful and sincere, she was incredibly qualified. To find someone that had solid credentials around early childhood development, then spent her entire life caring for children as a nanny, then in preschools, all the while successfully raising children of her own - it felt like a miracle combination. Even knowing all that, Amy far exceeded our expectations. Amy doesn’t just know what needs to be done. She knows how you’re feeling every moment along the way. She’s intuitive and an amazing listener. She’s a supporter and a coach. She knows when to do, and when to have your back while you do. The best advice I can give about Amy: If you’ve spent just a few minutes with her and it feels right, I can promise you it’s even more right than you can imagine."

"Amy played such a helpful role in my daughter’s first few months. We felt assured that she was with our baby each night. Our daughter benefited from us being able to have nights of high quality sleep. I am so glad I found her."

"When I reached out for doula support, our lives were upside down. We knew we were late looking for someone. Our twins had been in the NICU for a couple of months and we had just lost one of them. Were heartbroken and exhausted. Amy, who had a pretty tight schedule already, immediately got on board and worked out a plan for us with a colleague and gave us the respite we so badly needed. Her calming soothing presence put our anxious minds at ease, and we were able to get much needed rest once our baby boy came home. I will never forget those early weeks and the care and attention she gave to our family and the connections she made for us once her schedule no longer allowed her to continue with us. We were extremely well looked after and I miss her presence in my home dearly."

"Amy helped my husband and I with overnight and daytime care for our newborn son, from 1 month to 3 months old. We were lucky to catch her with some last-minute availability in her schedule, as we hadn’t planned ahead for finding a night doula, and we were really feeling the sleep deprivation and needing some extra help. Amy took excellent care of Aiden, and during our daytime sessions she also provided us with expert advice and guidance on caring for and feeding Aiden. While we weren’t breastfeeding, and thus didn’t have some of the more complex issues that some families face, we still really appreciated Amy’s help. Our son is doing great and continues to thrive, thanks in part to Amy’s help!"

"Amy took excellent care of Aiden."

"Amy worked with our first born starting May 2022. I was highly selective in the interview process, and Amy was an absolute stand-out given her child development background, willingness to teach/support, and positive attitude. I 100% give her credit for setting me up for success in the first week. Thanks to her persistence and guidance, we surpassed birth weight by my daughter's first prenatal visit, received numerous compliments from Kaiser's lactation check-up, and have optimized operations at home to make the division of labor not just bearable, but well-greased, between my husband and I. She's also very experienced working with families of various ethnic backgrounds (and challenging family dynamics). Beyond her practical advice, her background as an early child educator is FASCINATING and I can see her magic at work as she applies what she knows to personalizing the interactions she has w/ my newborn. Also did I mention that she really cares? The first night she came over, it felt like I was welcoming an old friend to sleep over."

"Amy is a wonderful resource.  She is always willing to help, and we truly appreciate her. She was very resourceful during a difficult time, and we can’t thank her enough. If you are looking for a wonderful postpartum doula, look no further because Amy is a sweetheart!"

Amy worked with us as a night doula for the first 6 weeks with our newborn. Amy is AMAZING!! As a new mother, I was anxious and nervous about just about everything. Amy is incredibly professional, knowledgeable in infant / postpartum care and caring / warm!! Our entire family, but especially our baby boy were in the absolute best hands under her care. Amy took excellent care of our son Max (allowing me to get much needed rest!) and was a huge support for me in my new mom / breast-feeding journey and just a pleasure to spend time with (at all hours of the night!). Amy brings a truly perfect blend of expertise / insight, warmth / care, adaptability / flexibility. I really feel she was instrumental in setting our entire family up for success in the early days of new parenthood.

We are very grateful to Amy for the postpartum support with our first baby. Amy became the 3rd most important person in our daughter’s life after mom and dad. She is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, our daughter immediately felt comforted and soothed in her hands. She went above and beyond offering tips and solutions that work and helping me become more calm and confident as a new mom. I have no hesitation to recommend Amy to any new family. She is awesome!

Having Amy join us as a postpartum night doula was one of the best decisions we made for our family during the early weeks with our newborn son. The transition into parenthood is filled with joy, challenges, and a steep learning curve. Amy's support during this time was incredibly valuable. Amy provides far more than an extra set of hands at night: she is a wealth of knowledge on child development and parenting an infant, which she always delivers with warmth, patience and kindness.

Each night in the months that Amy joined us, I was so relieved to be able to rest knowing that my son was in safe and very capable hands. Amy really felt like part of our family during her time with us and while we are capable of parenting now (thanks to her) - we miss her warm presence in our home!

Amy stood out because of her commitment to not just assisting us but educating us as well. She shared valuable insights on parenting and child development, helping us navigate the various stages of our son's growth. She even brought over books related to topics we discussed as extra resources for our learning and extra helpful baby gadgets (a better snot sucker! - ha)

Managing a newborn is demanding, but Amy's presence made the newborn phase much more manageable and enjoyable. She didn't just help us survive the nights; she equipped us with the tools and confidence to thrive as new parents.  

For those considering postpartum support, Amy is an incredible choice who exceeded our high expectations. Her professionalism, kindness, and depth of knowledge were instrumental in our early days of parenting. We are deeply grateful for her help and would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Amy for her invaluable support and care.

We had an incredible experience working with Amy for daytime post-partum support! As first-time parents, we were looking for a knowledgable expert to help educate us through the early days of our baby's life. Amy was that expert but she was also a friend and trusted partner. Prior to our baby being born, Amy made herself readily available to help us, dropping off books and sharing advice via text. During her visits, she made things so much easier, seamlessly blending into our family and helping with advice, tips and hands-on support. We loved working with Amy and wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for post-partum support.

Having a newborn baby is one of life's most precious and challenging experiences. During those early sleep-deprived weeks, Amy was absolutely wonderful. Her calm, nurturing presence and wealth of knowledge brought our family so much peace of mind.

Amy's expertise in caring for newborns is truly remarkable. She seemed to have an intuitive understanding of exactly what our baby needed, gently soothing and tending to him with the most loving touch.

Just as importantly, Amy provided invaluable guidance and support to us as new parents. She taught us tips and techniques with infinite patience, boosting our confidence. Amy celebrated our successes and reassured us through the challenges. Her encouragement meant the world.

Amy is more than just an outstanding night nurse - she became a friend to our family. Her warmth and positivity filled our home during those late night hours. We'll be forever grateful for the extraordinary care Amy provided our little one and for giving us the priceless gift of restorative sleep. Amy is truly one of the greats.

"Amy provided invaluable guidance and support to us as new parents."

Amy has been a fundamental part of my postpartum journey, and my baby loves her! Her presence felt like having a family member taking care of us, with the expertise and knowledge of a professional. I felt like no task was too big or too small for her, and that I could always rely on her support. I am very happy to have chosen her as our postpartum doula, and I would highly recommend her to other moms.
