Michelle was an excellent caregiver to our newborn daughter. Our baby smiled every night when Michelle walked through the door. While we are sad that our time with Michelle is over, she left us in the best place possible - with a baby sleeping 11-12 hrs by 8 weeks.

We hired Michelle as a NCS to help us with overnight care for our newborn son during the first five weeks of his life. Michelle was with us five days per week and did an amazing job with our son - feeding, bathing, sleep training, etc. We are sad that her time with us has come to an end and would highly recommend hiring her to care for your newborn!

Michelle Edwards has been an absolute blessing to our family. She is calm, kind, and extremely knowledgeable, and she instantly made us feel confident and supported during those exhausting newborn nights. Michelle was attentive, reliable, and always respectful of our preferences while offering helpful guidance when needed. She went above and beyond by thoughtfully organizing our baby’s clothes, which was such a huge help during an already busy time, and she also took the time to offer gentle sleep-training advice for our three-year-old, which we truly appreciated. Because of her care, we were able to truly rest knowing our baby was safe and well cared for. We are so grateful for her support and would highly recommend Michelle to any family looking for exceptional night nanny care.

Michelle has been taking care of our newborn for the past 6 weeks. She has been the perfect overnight doula for my baby girl. Everything michelle does, from bathing to feeding to swaddling is both gentle and educational. She has a very calming presence and has made me feel comfortable from day 1. My newborn is thriving with her and I am well rested. We are going to miss her so much when our time is up. Thank you for everything!

To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to enthusiastically recommend Michelle Edwards for certification as doula. Michelle supported my family as a night nanny for three months following daughter in March 2024, and | am deeply grateful for the care, compassion, and
brought into our home.
From her very first night with us, Michelle was a calming, gentle presence. She with my newborn, always handling her with care and attentiveness. Michelle also as an exhausted mothershe taught me how to swaddle better, helped me deve strategies, and thoughtfully came up with ways to maximize my rest and recover early weeks of postpartum life.
What impressed me most about Michelle was her openness to feedback and he understanding of both baby and mother. She approached every night with a sen patience, and respect for our preferences as a family. Her emotional intelligenc ethic, and genuine kindness make her an ideal candidate for postpartum doula
Any family would be fortunate to have Michelle by their side during such a tende transformative time. I recommend her wholeheartedly and without reservation.
Sincerely,

Hi, I am writing on behalf of Michelle who took wonderful care of our newborn recently. Michelle was not only reliable and a great communicator, but she was caring and sweet to all of us during our exciting and exhausting time!
Michelle traveled quite a distance each day and delivered on her promises even with the long and tiring drive. Michelle brought a smile to our new home and we will always appreciate her help with our family.
I recommend Michelle

My husband and I had the support of an overnight baby nurse who made the transition of bringing our newborn home much smoother and less overwhelming. She was hands-on in guiding us through different aspects of newborn care—from swaddling, changing, and bathing to feeding and sleep. Her knowledge helped us to feel more confident as new parents. She helped facilitate routines that helped our baby as we were trying to establish sleep and feeding routines, while also teaching us how to maintain those routines ourselves. She provided recommendations on helpful products and shared insight into breastfeeding. Her coaching helped us to feel prepared and capable in caring for our baby.
