We had a great experience with Bridget. Bridget cared for our second child from one week of age to six weeks. She had a special touch for getting our son to have "full feedings" and drink complete bottles. We never worried about leaving our baby in her care, and it was great to wake up rested and to a clean kitchen with sterilized bottles and pump parts. We appreciated that Bridget always wore a mask, was reliable and showed up consistently five minutes early, and was also flexible with choosing which nights she would come. Thank you Bridget!

Bridget allowed me to recover after birth better than anything or anyone else. It is an absolutely amazing feeling to leave your newborn with someone you fully trust and get a full night's sleep, especially after many nights up in the hospital. Bridget is so communicative and open, she made it so easy to ask her questions and tell her practices that made us the most comfortable with her watching our new baby. She is also incredibly flexible: we met with her and walked her through our hopes before I gave birth, but she did not require a strict schedule or set nights. She wore a mask anytime she was around the baby, and offered to elsewhere in the house, so we and she never got sick. She followed safe sleep practices, calmed our baby easily, and even folded our laundry! She had amazing guidance and reassurance, even for me as a second time mom. In my opinion her rate is also a steal, and I would recommend Bridget to any newborn parent!

We had the pleasure of hiring Bridget as our postpartum doula, and she was an absolute joy to work with. Our journey began with a video call where we got to know her, and her calm and caring demeanor instantly put us at ease. She also visited us a week before delivery, which gave us the opportunity to further discuss our preferences and get to know each other better.
Bridget was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, answering all our questions and teaching us the essential skills needed to care for our newborn. Her calm guidance made the transition into parenthood much smoother, and she was always willing to take the time to ensure we felt confident and supported.
She was very easy to work with, and her presence brought such peace of mind during an overwhelming time. We highly recommend Bridget to other families looking for a postpartum doula. She truly made a difference for us!

I highly recommend Bridget as a postpartum doula! She's been amazing, offering unwavering support since day 1 home from the hospital. From overnight feedings so we could get some much needed rest, to cooking nutritious meals for lactation, her care has been invaluable. She is empathetic, energetic, thoughtful, thorough, and understanding. Her wealth of advice and resources made the postpartum journey smoother. As first time parents, I had to convince my husband that we should consider a postpartum doula. Since working with her, he's agreed the this was one of the best decisions we made in our transition to parenthood and back to work. We're so grateful for such a supportive doula and plan to absolutely reach out if we grow our family.

We were so lucky to find Bridget as our post partum doula especially for nights right after delivering up until two weeks. Not only nights but she was available for daytime visits too when it was difficult to handle anxiety and chores! Looking back I feel so grateful for her care for our baby. She would check in with me everyday, making sure I was doing well and didn't miss out on emotional and physical support. Her presence was always soothing and relaxing. She understands the nerve of a new mom and her needs. I would highly recommend her to everyone. She will always have a special place in our hearts and family♥?
