Testimonials

Denise was absolutely essential as a postpartum Douala! As first time parents, we didn’t realize how demanding a newborn would be, especially without having a third set of hands available. Denise provided game changing insights on nursing and soothing our baby that made the days much more manageable. She also helped with laundry and baby bottles so that I could have time to rest and shower. We started working with Denise when our baby was 5 weeks old and my only regret was not having her start sooner. We highly recommend Denise for families with a new baby! Jill 2022

Denise is absolutely incredible. She was a gift for our family! She helped us with childcare for our son when he was a few months old, and occasionally helped with our 2.5yr old daughter as well. Due to her tremendous experience as a post partum doula as well as decades of childcare work, she brought a huge amount of confidence, understanding, and compassion into her work. She instilled fabulous habits in our baby that have made him an easier and happier baby (like the ability to go down awake/self soothe). She felt like an immediate friend and member of our greater family. She even sent our kids Christmas gifts 🙂 If you’re looking for childcare and you’ve found Denise’s profile – look no further, you’ve found the right person! Samantha 2021

I’m so grateful to have met such an incredible person and a professional who loves what she does. The first day she started I was so exhausted, didn’t know what was sleep anymore. Denise not only took care of my daughter, she also took care of me, I felt confident with her, she taught me so much, I wish she could stay longer, but she has other families that needs her, that is actually her words, otherwise I would keep her! She became a friend and we already miss her! If you get a chance to have Denise working with you, you are so fortunate, we are already booking her for our second child. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an incredible postpartum Douala, she will make your life easier! Rayra 2021

Denise was spectacular. She comforted, fed, and slept our colicky newborn boy with ease. Not only that but she taught us about cues and different methods for handling fussy babies. We were only visiting town for a short while but we will definitely rehire her when we are back. 11/10. Alicon 2021

Denise is a gem! She is so kind. She has been an amazing resource as a new mom. I consulted with her about sleep, feeding, postpartum issues, and so much more. I trust her completely with my infant. My baby was so happy to see Denise and thrived in her care. I only have an intermittent need for childcare, otherwise I would hire Denise full time! She is amazing and any family would be lucky to hire her. Gloria 2021

Denise is a gift pure and simple. I don’t know how our young family could have survived without her warm, creative and expert guidance. I would say she brought a new dimension to our family; a warmth and sense of joy that is reflected in our adult children to this day. She is a rare and wonderful person. I and our family unreservedly recommend Denise. Susan 2021

I’ve known Denise for 11 years. She took care of my older 2 children when she had a home daycare. She assisted me in my home with lactation consults when my 3rd was born. She is kind, caring, compassionate and loved them like her own. I never had a worry in the world when my kids were in her care. She has the patience of a saint and is a wonderful mother. She has become a wonderful friend and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. You are missing out if you pass her by. Sarah 2021

I could not imagine a more responsible or loving person to care for my daughter. She was and is amazing. My daughter is now 15 and keeps in touch with her to this day. I know for me it was very difficult to think of someone else caring for my daughter, but after the first day I felt so relieved I had made the right choice. Laura 2021

Denise is kind, caring, and wonderful with children. She has a wealth of personal and professional experience in caring for children. She made returning to work after maternity leave much easier because I knew my newborn(s) were in such capable, caring hands. My children always looked forward to their days with Denise! Lisa 2021

Denise is absolutely fabulous. She helped at the hospital and we were well prepared at home. I work from home so Denise was invaluable in assisting my wife with our new baby, and generally providing the wisdom of someone who knows just how to treat a precious new born. Thank you Denise! Andy 2020

My husband and I hired Denise for postpartum support and I can’t imagine my journey without her. I had a planned cesarean and prior to delivery Denise did a home assessment with me to best prepare our home for the baby. Her knowledge and guidance was so helpful as a new mom. I call her magic because she truly is magical. She supports your decisions and does everything she can to help you. For me it was breastfeeding. She handles everything we would normally do such as household maintenance and provides excellent infant care and more. I wish I could keep her on the payroll forever. If you’re looking for someone who will look after you physically, mentally, and emotionally while you figure out the newness of a baby & help with infant care, she is a top notch choice. Candace A. 2020

I can’t really remember a time when Denise wasn’t a part of our lives! She started with our family when my middle son was about 8 months old and was a part of our lives until we moved out of state last summer so for a total of 3 years. She is the most calm, caring, nurturing woman and even though she was only with us once a week she felt like family. She’s the only person either of my boys took bottles for, she got them to nap with ease, she helped me with laundry and dishes, she braided my daughter’s hair, read them all books, snuggled them, soothed them, did crafts, colored, and played endless games. She was incredibly knowledgable about breastfeeding, swaddling, sleeping, etc. She always had an open ear and was a wonderful sounding board. If I could move her to NC with us I would! I cannot recommend Denise enough, we miss her dearly! Jillian 2019

My experience with Denise as a post-partum doula was incredibly valuable. As a first-time mom who lost my own mother at an early age, I was surprised by how difficult the transition was. I just hadn’t known what to expect – I thought that being a mom would “come naturally”. I was exhausted and overwhelmed. I found Denise through a fortuitous search on facebook, and she was a god-send. I did not know what a post-partum doula was, just that I needed help. What Denise provides is gentle (non-judgemental) guidance, a listening ear and counsel when needed. And when you just need a little time to shower and mentally refresh, she is also absolutely amazing with infants. My son took to her instantly and I think it was a great transition to him having someone – other than mom – nurturing him. He would nap for her easily, whereas I had to spend sometimes 2 hours trying to soothe him to sleep. She showed me all the tips and tricks of swaddling, breast-feeding positions, staying sane… all the essentials! I can’t recommend Denise highly enough. Kathy 2019
