I had the privilege of working with Arlene as our Newborn Care Specialist following the birth of our second daughter, and she supported our family for twelve weeks in 2026. From the very beginning, Arlene provided an exceptional level of care, professionalism, and reassurance during a critical postpartum period. Her overnight support allowed my husband and me to get much-needed rest, knowing our daughter was in the hands of an experienced and compassionate professional. In addition to providing outstanding newborn care, Arlene consistently went above and beyond by washing bottles and pump parts, assisting with infant bathing, and helping maintain a calm and organized environment during those early weeks. With more than 27 years of experience, Arlene brings an extraordinary depth of knowledge to her work. Although I was already a second-time mother, I learned a tremendous amount from her. She was always patient, thoughtful, and generous with her expertise, answering countless questions and helping us navigate challenges with confidence. Whether troubleshooting early breastfeeding and latch concerns, sharing evidence-based resources, suggesting schedules and routines, or recommending products that better met our needs, her guidance was invaluable. What sets Arlene apart is her ability to provide expert recommendations without ever imposing her personal philosophy. She respects each family's unique parenting style and empowers parents to make informed decisions that feel right for them. Her approach is gentle, supportive, and highly effective. Beyond her professional qualifications, Arlene is a genuinely warm and caring person. The tenderness, respect, and affection she showed our daughter were truly remarkable. She quickly became a trusted member of our household, and her presence brought comfort and confidence during a time of significant transition. Without reservation, I wholeheartedly recommend Arlene Maynard to any family seeking a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and exceptionally skilled Newborn Care Specialist. She has been one of the best investments we made during our postpartum journey, and I am deeply grateful for the care and support she provided to our family.
— Alexandra S., review of Arlene Maynard
We hired Arlene as our postpartum doula for four weeks after our son was born. As first-time parents, we valued Arlene's expertise and care. Not only did she show tremendous affection and care for our newborn she also shared really great insights and knowledge with us about everything from feeding (breast milk and formula) to bowel movements to growth spurts. We genuinely would've been lost without her, and we can't recommend her enough!
— Francesca V., review of Arlene Maynard
First off I want to begin to say she is the most sweetest person I’ve ever met. Very professional very calm great listener and is not afraid to stand on 10 toes behind your wishes. She makes sure of what YOU want and is not afraid to verify what you want over and over right up until you go give birth and even after. She makes sure that your comfortable and that your wishes are heard and one thing I can never get out of my head is her asking me “is this what YOU want” or “ Are you ok with this” “are we on the same birth plan?” even in the hospital in-front of any doctor or nurse she was not afraid to make sure about what IIIII WANTED. She wasn’t afraid to ask questions nor was she afraid to advocate for me. She literally makes it all about you and your birth and your baby. She is available to you at any time if you need her do not be afraid to reach out. She gives great advice she has great techniques that will prepare you for birth during birth and after. This girl deserves an award like I really loved her services she even had a backup plan (still accommodating to your wants and needs) just incase if by any reason she wasn’t available for me when I went into labor. She loves what she does and she’s just a doll. I want her to be my doula again for my next pregnancy 💜
