Amanda was a huge help with the birth of our last child. She held my hand every step of the way and through many difficult procedures. She is also bilingual which was a huge help for my family as my husband is primarily Spanish-speaking. She arrived at the hospital Within 20 minutes and stayed for my long labor. We also decided to keep her as our postpartum Doula to help care for my baby after the birth and helped my baby latch as breastfeeding wasn’t going well. She helped us for the first six weeks, so my husband could get his rest for work and so I could heal from the birth. If you want someone who genuinely cares about you and your family, I suggest hiring her!

Having Amanda as my doula was such a blessing. She was our first baby and I was anxious at every moment. She was able to calm my worries and make both of us feel as comfortable as possible during this experience. It took so long to get here (many rounds of IVF) and I was so afraid something would go wrong. As a SM herself she understood the process we went through and that was very important to us. When we decide to have another child I will hire her before our IVF to calm my nerves. Highly recommend her!
