      5 /5

      Samantha helped my husband and I with our newborn 1-2 times a week during the first 2 months of her life. She showed us how to baby wear, practice tummy time, bathe baby, proper burping techniques, and helped us put together a sleep/feeding schedule. Her knowledge helped make the transition into parenthood less overwhelming and helped us feel confident taking care of our little one. Samantha also has a gift at soothing babies to sleep, which allowed us some time to actually cook dinner again! During times when the baby was down for a nap Samantha always took the initiative to ask “is there anything I can help with?” and was willing to wash bottles/help us catch up on dishes. As a bonus Samantha is an animal lover which was appreciated, because we have 2 cats, a dog, a gecko, and 4 chickens! We are so grateful for Samantha’s help and although we no longer need a doula we will be hiring her as a babysitter as needed in the future.
