Words from mamas who Jaime has assisted with postpartum care:

"I hired Jaime while I was pregnant with my fifth child. She is the first postpartum doula I have ever hired, and she was such a help! I hired her mostly to help with some organizational tasks around the house and food prep before and after the baby was born. When she came, I would have a list of goals and we always got through more than I expected. She did all of those things while also making sure to check in with me thoroughly at each visit. Since I was expecting my fifth baby I felt like I knew how to do pregnancy and newborns, but her questions and suggestions helped me prepare my home, my brain and my heart for the new baby. After he was born, her time at my house helped me focus on my baby, my own recovery and care for my older children in a more deliberate and organized way. I would hire her again in a heartbeat." - Sara, mama of five

"I highly recommend Jaime, who cared for me after the birth of my second baby. She is kind, professional, generous, thoughtful, flexible and thorough. I treasured the days she came to be with me. She has a peaceful presence that slowed down my racing mind and reminded me what was important in this time. She made me feel valuable and cared for. I think she was instrumental in perhaps preventing the postpartum anxiety and depression that I had with my first son from happening again. She always left me with a clean home and a happy baby, as well as a refreshed mind and spirit. She was often the only reason that I got a shower or was able to spend time reconnecting with my toddler in those early weeks. She gave me great resources whenever I had struggles with this or that. She was always on time and really went above and beyond whenever she saw an opportunity to do so. I will miss her visits dearly." - Alix, mama to the sweet little guy in the photo

"I appreciated Jaime coming and each time asking how I was doing on many levels and how it was going caring for baby. She was very respectful of my lifestyle." - Heather, mama of Liska
|
"Excelled at managing two infants every single time. I often referred to her as a baby whisperer for how many times she successfully calmed down both babies simultaneously." - Kate, mama of twins
|
"Thank you so very much for all of your help as we transitioned from a family of 4 to a family of 5. Your help with making dinner, cleaning up the house, washing bottles and making lunches was invaluable." - Season, mama of three
