Ratings and reviews
We had a great experience with Anna with our newborn. Anna provided nighttime care starting from our baby's first night home from the hospital for the next ~9 weeks. As new parents, it was amazing to have Anna's experience and care. She was able to reassure us that what our baby was doing / experiencing was normal and offered her practical tips and suggestions as things came up and readily when we asked for advice. In addition to taking care of the baby, she was always eager to help out with bottle washing, laundry, etc. We were able to sleep so well on the nights she provided care, and we credit our baby's sleep habits to her! In hindsight, we wish we had scheduled more nights per week with Anna. Highly recommend to any family.

It was such a pleasure to work with Anna! As second time parents, she provided terrific support for us. She is compassionate, reliable, and a wonderful person to get to know. She displayed such warmth and care toward our newborn girl and we could rest easy knowing she was in terrific hands for the night. After she would leave in the morning, we would find all the bottles freshly washed, baby laundry folded. It was a great way to start the day. I always looked forward to the nights she was coming. One hundred percent would work with her again.

Anna was our doula during the first 10 weeks of our son's life. She took great care of our baby overnight while we slept. She was always on time, often early! And also helped us out by taking care of our laundry and baby bottles, or really anything that I asked her to do. Her schedule was flexible and she was always reliable. We felt very comfortable with Anna in our home taking care of our baby while we got some much needed rest!

Anna provided nighttime and some daytime support for our baby from newborn through six months. It was wonderful to have her help, so that we could rest while she cared for the baby. We also established helpful routines while I breastfed. Anna is a wonderful person to bring into your life as a postpartum doula - caring, energetic, honest, and fun. I highly recommend her.

We worked with Anna for both of our children when they were newborns. You can tell she adores caring for babies. She is reliable, communicates well, and always shows up right on time (and more often than not, early). My husband and I knew our babies were in good hand's while we got a good night's rest.

Anna was my postpartum overnight doula for 6 weeks immediately after my son Yusuf was born. She took loving care of him as soon as she arrived for her shift. She was keen on hearing how his day was, how he fed, and how his sleep was before beginning her overnight with him. During the night, she would bring Yusuf to me in my bedroom to feed him and then take him back to change him and put him down. She would also do our laundry and having everything folded by the time she left. I would wake up to a happy baby and a clean space. We wish we could have kept her forever! We heartily recommend Anna for any family looking for doula care. Thank you, Anna!

Our family benefited tremendously from having Anna with us. We were lucky to have her care for our newborn for three months. I went to bed peacefully knowing my baby was in such caring and trustworthy hands. Anna was always on time, usually early and extremely professional. My postpartum anxiety softened once Anna started with our family. Not only did she take great care of my baby, she was also so kind and reassuring to me as a first time mom. If you are fortunate enough to have Anna on your care team know that you can recover and restore yourself without worrying about your baby. I will always be grateful for her support during such an intense time.

We are so grateful for our time with Anna. Our baby, Liv, arrived a few weeks earlier than expected. We came home from the hospital with a tiny baby and a little rattled from the delivery. Anna instantly made us feel comfortable, sharing stories of her twins, who were about the same size as Liv when they were born. Anna always arrived early, asked all the important questions, and then told us to get some rest. We would fall asleep instantly knowing Liv was in great hands. When we came down in the morning, Anna would give us the full report, as we are trying to track diapers and feedings for the first few months. Thank you Anna for helping us get through the first two months as parents!
