We chose Veronica as our post-partum doula for our second daughter and are so happy that we did. She brought a peace into our home with her presence and she had a calming effect on our daughter where she always felt completely comfortable in her arms. We knew that our baby was always in good hands. Veronica is a kind-hearted Doula and is very knowledgeable about all aspects of care not only as a newborn care doula, but for mother's as well. She provided tender Breastfeeding coaching to me while I was going through milk supply issues and was sympathetic to my struggles. I experienced a death in my family within 2 weeks after giving birth and I don't know how I would have gotten through it without Veronica's sweet encouragement and assistance. She also showed such patience and kindness to our toddler and two dogs who all were also glad to have her attention. We are pleased to have had her support in the beginning of our daughter's life and are grateful to call her our friend.

I am writing this review with an overwhelming sense of gratitude and admiration for the exceptional care and support provided by our beloved baby night nurse. Her expertise as a new parent educator, postpartum doula, newborn care specialist, and breastfeeding educator has been nothing short of extraordinary, making our transition into parenthood an incredibly smooth and joyous journey. From the moment she stepped into our home, her caring demeanor and genuine passion for her work were evident. As new and older parents, we were initially overwhelmed with the challenges that come with caring for a newborn, but she quickly put us at ease with her extensive knowledge and comforting presence. Her role as a new parent educator became evident as she patiently guided us through every aspect of caring for our precious little one, imparting invaluable knowledge that empowered us with confidence. In her capacity as a postpartum doula, our night nurse went above and beyond to create a nurturing environment for both our baby and us. Her unwavering support extended beyond the basic duties, as she became a trusted companion during those late-night feeds and diaper changes. Her genuine care and concern for our well-being were truly heartwarming. The expertise she brought as a newborn care specialist was evident in her meticulous attention to detail. Our baby thrived under her watchful eye, and we felt reassured knowing that our little one was in the hands of someone so dedicated and skilled (over 24 years). Her ability to anticipate the needs of our baby, coupled with her gentle touch, made all the difference in ensuring our baby felt secure and loved. As a breastfeeding educator, our night nurse provided invaluable guidance that transformed what could have been a challenging experience into a beautiful bonding opportunity. Her patience and encouragement were instrumental in helping us navigate the intricacies of breastfeeding. Moreover, her provision of relaxing massage therapy not only helped new mothers like myself establish milk supply but also offered much-needed relaxation and unwinding during a challenging time. In addition, I want to address the notion I came across in other reviews labeling her approach as "bossy." From our perspective, her direct approach and guidance stemmed from a place of experience and expertise, which we deeply appreciated. Your ability to be clear and to the point was exactly what we needed as first-time parents navigating uncharted territory. Simply put, our night nurse has been a true blessing, embodying the qualities of a caring, knowledgeable, and dedicated professional. We wholeheartedly recommend her services to any new parents seeking not only an expert in newborn care but also a compassionate and understanding companion during this precious time. Thank you, Veronica, for being an integral part of our journey into parenthood. With deepest gratitude, Nicole & Ted D.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the outstanding postpartum support from Baby Nurse and Doula Services after the birth of my first child. I wanted to find a Carrot Doula provider fully certified to whom I could trust completely my transition into motherhood while also teaching me and taking great care of my newborn. Veronica, our postpartum Doula, stood out not only for her vast trainings and expertise but also as a New parent educator, teaching and helping us gain confidence in caring for our baby. In the first week, our Doula Veronica seamlessly transitioned into the role of a daytime lactation consultant, providing crucial guidance on how to properly breastfeed a baby and helping our baby gain weight and begin our process to build a milk supply. Her expertise and reassuring presence were a lifeline during those early days. As weeks passed, Veronica continued her support as a night newborn care doula, giving my husband and I the rest we needed while patiently taking loving care of our baby overnight allowing us to get the peaceful rest we much needed. Veronica has been a major help in establishing a solid routine for my baby. Her presence created a supportive and caring environment that gave us a positive start to our journey into parenthood. Thanks to her guidance, my baby reliably wakes up every 3 hours, making our days more predictable. Veronica strikes a good balance between contact napping (kangaroo care) for emotional bonding and teaching my baby to sleep independently in his crib right from the start. Even though my time with Veronica is ending, I feel well equipped to take care of my baby on my own after learning from her. For anyone seeking postpartum support that goes beyond the basics, offering education, guidance, and genuine care, I recommend Baby Nurse and Doula Services. Veronica is an advocate, ally, and expert, playing a crucial role in our journey into parenthood. She is a Carrot Doula provider and is one of the best hat we will not hesitate in bringing her back for baby #2. Thank you Veronica, Micah & Mommy!

We just finished the Newborn Crash Course with Ms. Veronica and had a wonderful experience. We are going to be first time parents and she walked us through all aspects of newborn care very patiently and thoroughly. Highly recommend the course for soon to be parents! Ms. Veronica really made us feel more at ease.

Wanted to write this testimonial for my very, very, very positive experience working with Veronica and Baby Nurse and Doula Services.  We worked with Veronica and her team for our second child. As a second time mom, I had worked with a newborn care specialist also when I had my first child, so I knew firsthand how helpful one would be this time around. If you find yourself wondering if you need this care, don’t hesitate! You will find it invaluable to get precious sleep, peace of mind and have your baby in loving and expert care. Not only that but you can also get the warm care of a great Postpartum Doula with Ms. Veronica who is able to provide reassurance and empathy for parents during the challenging postpartum time.  Veronica is so knowledgeable when it comes to newborn and infant care - from feeding, to sleeping, to changing, swaddling and everything in between. She has decades of experience, education and is constantly learning, training and doing to be at the top of her specialty when it comes to newborn care.  In addition, she is very professional, trustworthy, conscientious and kind. It takes a very special person to be able to come into your household seamlessly, being supportive along the way.  Having Veronica and her team support me and my family during the newborn stage, including my newborn, older child, and husband was invaluable and I give her my highest recommendation when it comes to search for a Postpartum Doula and Newborn care services.

We made the right choice with Veronica as our post partum doula! After coming home from the hospital, her presence was truly a lifesaver for us. To have all the things we read in books reiterated in-person by a new parent educator was so helpful in getting us on the path to success. Veronica's hands-on approach is appreciated, especially after little sleep. As a newborn specialist, not only did Veronica take great care of our baby, she helped get down the swelling in my legs & feet with massages. She also taught me different breastfeeding positions to accommodate baby's changing preferences. On top of that, when baby was asleep, she made sure all the baby's bottles, clothes, blankets, etc. were cleaned & put away. She felt like a part of our family. Would love to have her back in the future.
