Employer Reviews

We hired Lauren as a postpartum doula and couldn’t have been happier. I had a lot of anxiety during my pregnancy that carried over to postpartum. I was extremely anxious to leave my 2 year old with anyone (including family) and Lauren’s experience caring for babies and toddlers set me at ease.  My 2 year old absolutely adores her and she is still the only person I trust with my two babies. She has a wealth of knowledge, abundance of energy and is such a natural with babies. She always gave each of my children special attention, while also being mindful of what developmental skills they should be practicing. Her presence is calming and supportive, never judgmental. It is clear that she is highly educated and confident in her abilities to educate, care for, advocate for and support mothers, babies and families.

we LOVE Lauren. She has been so helpful this post-partum period. Her kind and gentle demeanor have felt so good in the house. She has been great with baby and has provided invaluable support around the house; taking care of laundry and plants, cooking meals, and taking care of older siblings.
