I definitely recommend Teresa as a postpartum Doula! We all slept the best during the nights that she came, including baby. I appreciated that she stays awake all night taking care of baby. My priority was sleep which she encouraged by picking up pump parts and refrigerating the milk so I. could quickly return to bed. Baby did not seem to cry as much with her. She is very comfortable with newborns and infants, and our baby loved her. Teresa enjoys reading and learning to expand her knowledge base. She models good sleep habits and tries to troubleshoot reasons why baby is not sleeping well so we can work as a team to make adjustments to baby’s day schedule such as adding walks outside, or be more aware of developmental milestones like teething. Although she is not a lactation consultant, she can provide some advice in this area as well. She is so supportive and empathetic. She is great with communication. She sent texts asking how I was doing before delivery with my high risk pregnancy, and also after delivery on days she was not working with us. She is prompt with replies. It was so nice that she came early each night so we could chat like old friends. We counted down the days and minutes before she arrived, and it was such a relief to see her each time. She became part of the family, and we miss her!

We hired Teresa for postpartum overnight care for 10 weeks, starting from the first night we brought our baby home from hospital. Working with Teresa was the best decision we made! Teresa’s support goes well beyond baby care - as first time parents, she helped us with anything we were struggling with, recommended products, lent us books, and was just a great sounding board! She stays up all night and practices good sleep habits (puts baby down awake, uses crib) which set a great foundation for us to follow. Our baby was well loved, safe, and happy on nights with Teresa. We were so sad to say goodbye and will definitely work with her again if we have another kid in the future!

We contracted with Teresa to help with our second child, as we needed our sanity to help keep the first one alive. Teresa was always prompt and did incredible, patient work with baby Irene. Who was MUCH more of a screamer than her big sister. At first, we were worried that it would be awkward having someone in the house but Teresa had amazing Earth mother goddess vibes and the rest she allowed us to get helped us be our best parents. We used her every other night--though in hindsight--we certainly could have used her more often (budget allowing)
