Ethel came in at such impeccable timing!! Throughout my labor, she was mindful of keeping me as calm as possible, she went above and beyond to make sure my baby was well taken care of, and she is a great woman to have around. It was a pleasure having her around during my labor and caring for both baby & mama.
