Melissa and her company are absolutely amazing. She has been an invaluable resource in helping us navigate the newborn phase. She has helped us keep our sanity more than once. She has amazing technique, experience, kindness, and empathy. I feel more confident as a parent after working with her and I am definitely well rested. I will continue to work with her as our little one grows. I can not recommend her enough.

We cannot recommend Melissa enough. My husband and I were looking for overnight care for our newborn son, and from our very first video call, we had that immediate feeling: she was the one. What stood out was how much she wanted to understand us as parents. She asked what we needed, what we hoped to learn, and what would help us feel more comfortable and confident. As first-time parents, we had so many questions, and Melissa always welcomed them, no matter how silly we worried they might be. She made us feel comfortable asking anything and took the time to talk things through with us. Melissa was there for our very first night home with our son, and I cannot imagine a better person to have alongside us as we figured everything out. From the moment she walked through our door, I felt at ease. Being able to go to sleep knowing our son was safe, loved, and so thoughtfully cared for meant everything. Her guidance covered so many of the things we were trying to figure out: caring for our newborn, feeding, breastfeeding, pumping, safely storing breast milk, and building a freezer stash. Having someone help us work through those things in our own home was incredibly valuable. And, of course, getting some sleep so we could function during the day was a huge gift! I was also recovering from a C-section, and Melissa’s understanding of what my body was going through was such a comfort. There is so much information online, and trying to make sense of it all while recovering and caring for a newborn can feel overwhelming. Having someone knowledgeable and reassuring to turn to made such a difference. Melissa also set us up to feel confident after her time with us ended. She shared so much practical information and guidance that we felt prepared to put what we had learned into practice on our own. Her support stayed with us long after she left. Melissa will always be such a special part of our first weeks as parents. She gave us rest, reassurance, and confidence when we needed all three, and we are so grateful for the care she gave our whole family. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for newborn care.

Melissa Wiltsey was our night doula for both of our sons, and we cannot recommend her enough. The fact that we brought her back for our second baby probably says it best. She knows what she is doing. From the first night home, she had a calm that settled the whole house. She was a huge help with breastfeeding, full of practical advice that actually worked, and she had a real gift for soothing a fussy newborn at 2 a.m. while we finally got some sleep. What stuck with us most was how much she clearly cared about our boys, not just the job. Those early weeks are a blur for most new parents, and Melissa was the reason ours felt manageable. If you are looking for a night doula, you will be in very good hands with her.

Melissa was so lovely! We had the pleasure of having her work with our family after bringing home our newborn twin boys. She was calm, loving and knowledgeable. She knew exactly what we needed before we voiced it, just stepping in and helping to take care of our babies when we were a bit overwhelmed. Her guidance was always so supportive and so helpful. She followed along with our parenting style and she truly made caring for our twins extremely helpful. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her and have her help take care of our children. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for some extra help after bringing home a newborn(s).

We had an amazing experience with our night nurse, Melissa. Having overnight support made such a difference during those newborn weeks. Melissa was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and patient, and always made us feel comfortable asking questions. We were able to get much-needed sleep knowing our baby was in great hands. She followed our preferences, helped sleep train our baby gently and gave us helpful tips that we still use today. Melissa truly made those early months feel manageable, and we are so grateful for her care. Highly recommend her to any new parents

One Dream to the Next is exactly that -- an absolute dream! We had the pleasure of working with Melissa and her team at the recommendation of a friend. We didn't have any overnight help with our first child but knew we'd need extra help with our second, and there is no way we would have any semblance of sanity without Melissa and her team. Melissa, Tina and Darrah are consummate professionals and have extensive experience and training with newborns. Communication was always clear, and Melissa had frequent check-ins to make sure our ever changing goals were aligned. Melissa is a treasure trove of knowledge not only with newborns but also lactation consulting and postpartum care. She entertained all of my questions at any hour of the day with patience and specific, personal advice. The team fit into our house and nighttime routine seamlessly and were very flexible with the schedule. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and highly recommend One Dream to the Next to all of our expecting friends!

I have known Melissa for 20+ years. During the time I have known her she has been a kind and caring individual. She always goes above and beyond for others, is highly professional and knowledgeable in what she does. She always offers to lend a helping hand no matter what it may be. In addition to being an excellent caregiver she is also an amazing mother and has raised her children beautifully. I am a mother of two and she has helped me tremendously with both my children, offering support and guidance. Whether you are a first time mother or a mother of many, I highly recommend Melissa.

Melissa was the best decision we made when it came to our daughter. She made our transition into parenthood as smooth as it could possibly be. She was the voice of calm wisdom whenever I was concerned or struggling and boy does she really know her stuff! Melissa not only helped us establish a routine with our daughter; she also assisted me with breastfeeding. I may have given up without her support and encouragement. She’s a mom herself and loves babies and that became very apparent very quickly. She was so tender and sweet with our baby girl. Our daughter loved Melissa and that was incredibly reassuring. If we have more children, there’s no question that we’ll be returning clients! Melissa is incredibly professional and holds herself to a very high standard. She’s informed on all the latest information and provides the why behind her recommendations while still being respectful of any personal parenting decisions. In summary Melissa is highly skilled,competent, passionate, and a good person through and through! What more could you ask for! I can’t say enough good things and enthusiastically endorse Melissa to anyone considering hiring her
