I
appreciated your help very much.
Most importantly, you gave me
confidence that I could care for
the twins alone. I must admit it
is trying at times, but do-able
nonetheless. You are a joy to work
with. Thank you for helping us
into the world of parenthood.

We could not have
asked for better help and
support, and it was a lifesaver
for us!!

Your help with teaching
me to breastfeed and take care
of Sophie was invaluable.

Thanks so much for
being such a calm presence in
the wake of all the craziness
(with triplets) around here and
also being such good emotional
support and a sounding board for
me...
-Michele, Brooklyn Park, MN
We really, really
appreciated all your help during
those early days. The extra
sleep and support made a huge
difference. I just wish you'd
been around during the first two
babies' early months!

We loved working
with you! You were so calm it
made us feel relaxed during
those first wonderful but crazy
weeks! (with twins)

Linda was a wonderful
presence in our home. She was
very supportive, calming,
nurturing and non-judgmental. It
was great to have company in the
middle of the night while
nursing and know that Georgia
was happy and content with Linda
while I slept.

Thank you for being a
part of this exciting, special
time in our lives. Your services
as a postpartum doula gave me
the confidence I needed as a new
mom. Your advice, support, and
words of encouragement made a
world of difference. In addition
we valued your professional
manner and expertise. Lastly,
but most importantly, we were
pleased with your gentleness,
patience, and tenderness toward
Benjamin. Your extra set of
hands and soothing voice were
always a welcome part to his
day.

Linda provided
incredible support to our new
family - by teaching us
practical ways to care for our
baby and helping me recover from
childbirth. We wish she could
stay with us forever!"

I cannot thank you
enough. You were truly an Angel
in my time of need.

I just wanted to thank
you again for all you have given
our family over the past five
weeks. Your gentle nature and
soothing reassurances helped
guide my husband and I as we
adjusted to the many changes
life threw our way all at once.
We have such fond memories of
our time with you

Linda is extremely
warm and highly professional: I
eagerly awaited her arrival each
day, and rued her departure. She
offered valuable help with
concrete challenges such as
breastfeeding troubles and how
to bathe a newborn. She also
gave tremendous reassurance and
moral support to counter the
fatigue and anxiety of the early
postpartum period. Linda is
equally attentive to and skilled
at nurturing newborns and their
mothers: she helped ensure I got
needed rest and nutrition and
was able to soothe and play with
my baby with warmth and
confidence. Linda took the
initiative to help with tasks
before I could think to ask, and
followed up on my questions with
needed information and contacts.

I want to thank you so
much for all the help you gave
us early this year. When you
first showed up, I was frayed at
the edges and completely
ignorant about babies. We
learned so many things from you
that made us comfortable with
baby-raising and lots of little
tricks that we still use. Our
daycare provider commented last
week that Annie is such a
relaxed baby, we owe this in no
small part to your efforts to
make us more relaxed parents!
- Paula, Annandale, VA
Linda came to my
assistance right after the birth
of my daughter, Allison. She
provided me with breastfeeding
assistance, prepared meals (even
brought them to my bedside) and
helped with caring for my
7-year-old daughter, Hana. Most
of all, Linda was always very
loving and patient. She could
calm my baby while engaging my
older daughter in creative
activities. She made my
postpartum experience a pleasure
and ensured a speedy recovery
for me.
- Winnie, Fairfax, VA
Thanks so
much for the many hours of
care, conversation, and
advice. Your special gift of
children's intuition is
truly remarkable. The twins
and we have thrived under
your care and tutelage.
