Ratings and reviews
Karen was there from the night we brought our baby home. Excellent at her job and was so caring for both our daughter and myself.
- Maria C.
Karen is a talented Doula and newborn caregiver. I felt fully cared for and trusted her with my and my baby’s health. She helped me through my postpartum feelings so graciously and I am so thankful for her!
- Aashima O.
We had an amazing experience hiring her as a doula on our very first day when we returned from hospital with our new born. It was during Covid and was 31st night. Karen herself had a 8 months old that time. But, she kept her promises and made sure to be there for us. She is very caring, kind and loving to the child. She also took care of me as I was a first time mom without any help due to lockdown and COVID. We are forever thankful to Karen. Anyone will be lucky to have her as a doula or nanny. Highly recommended.
