Melanie cared for our son from age 1 month to 3 months. She brought the expertise of a professional postpartum doula to her role, which provided great peace of mind during the newborn stage. She is consistently attentive, patient, empathetic, and nurturing with infants. During her time with us, Melanie successfully implemented a sleep training routine that established a wonderful schedule for our baby. She actively supported his development by reading to him daily for cognitive growth and managing regular tummy time to build his physical strength. Professionally, Melanie is highly dependable, punctual, and maintains clear, consistent communication. I highly recommend her to any family seeking structured, professional infant care.
