Caroline was our post natal doula /maternity nurse for months 2-7 with our newborn girl. She is an outstanding caring doula, and extremely supportive in all respects! We relied on Caroline to help out with a variety of duties from baby care to household support, cooking dinner and cleaning. She also connected us with a wider network of mother supporters (e.g. Breast feeding counsellors, sling specialists) when needed.
I highly recommend Caroline for maternity nursing and family support.
