Stories of gratitude from families we’ve supported

Ease Into Newborn Care

“Mara‘s newborn knowledge and calm energy was extremely helpful during my new transition to motherhood. Mara is a lifesaver and has an answer to every single question that popped into my head. she was quick to respond and very generous with her time. She gave helpful advice regarding various sleep and soothing techniques as well as safe product recommendations for feeding, sleeping, and traveling. She constantly went above and beyond to help me and my family. Her knowledge of newborns is incredible and we were so lucky to find Mara! She truly made us better parents. Mara is the best!”

Confident Care for Triplets

“Mara is the sweetest- we call her our personal Miss Rachel! She is so kind and bubbly with the babies, and is so knowledgeable about their development. She has a seemingly unending amount of patience, and tackled triplet babies with confidence and kindness. From the beginning I have felt confident leaving all three babies in her care, which I know is a tough job!! We love Mara very much and have had an incredible experience with her services!”

A Seamless Transition to Life with Two Kids

“Mara supported our family in the first six weeks of our second baby’s life – because we already had one son, we weren’t sure what we could learn from Mara, but we were excited to have a third set of hands around the house. Mara’s warm presence, intuition, and passion for supporting us as an entire family far exceeded our expectations around daytime and postpartum doula support. She helped get out newborn into a routine so that we knew what we were doing when she moved on to other families, and our baby is sleeping better than our toddler at this point. Mara truly went above and beyond, finding ways to help our family outside of what I would consider the normal doula job description – bringing cake pops for our toddler to ease his transition into big brotherhood, setting up relaxing experiences for me as a new mom, bringing baby products for us to test out, organizing our nursery and pantry… the list goes on. I can’t recommend Mara’s support enough – we feel like we have settled into family life with four of us so much more smoothly because we had her help.”
