Hi! I'm Marcy, I'm a postpartum doula in Redwood City! After raising and homeschooling my own kids, I'm now turning my attention to supporting other families as they transition into parenthood. I'm here to help you figure out the ins and outs of newborn care (feeding, diapers, swaddling, baby-wearing, etc), and also provide emotional support-- listening to your fears and questions, providing reassurance, and helping you feel empowered in caring for your baby. Reach out to chat about how I can best support you!
Need care close to the edge of this window?
I'm available during the days, including mornings (catch up on some extra sleep!) and evening (to help get you through that witching hour!). Ask me about sliding scale options
I am here to support you! That can mean taking care of your newborn for a few hours so you can get some rest, or entertaining a sibling so you can baby can born. I can give assistance and guidance on diapering, feeding, breast/chestfeeding support, baby-wearing, etc, and help answer those "is this normal??" type questions. I can help with light household chores to lighten your load. I'm also here to provide nonjudgemental emotional support. Parenting is hard! Let me help ease the transition.
Marcy was kind, reliable, and gentle with our baby. She was always respectful of our preferences and followed our instructions, which we appreciated as first-time parents. She was punctual, easy to communicate with, and professional throughout. We especially appreciated that she proactively let us know when someone in her household was sick so we could make an informed decision about scheduling. We're thankful for her support during those early newborn weeks!

Marcy was super helpful with my infant and supported us both while he was dealing with a lot of pain from reflux. She was kind & took on any task I needed help with. It was a very challenging time & having her to help made such a difference.
