Testimonials

“Maryann anticipated and met every need for our newborn. She kept a detailed log of our son’s intake and output, which helped tremendously as we tried to balance breastfeeding, bottle feeding and introducing formula. Maryann initiated a basic schedule (at our request) for our newborn to help with the daily flow of our household. She helped keep our newborn healthy during a time when each one of our older children developed typical winter illnesses. While we focused on our sick toddlers, Maryann took complete care of our newborn.”

“It is my great pleasure and honor to recommend Maryann Kamitian as a newborn care specialist and postpartum Doula. As a new mother I would recommend every family whether it be their first baby or their 5th to have a postpartum doula after baby comes home. Maryann started the day I brought my twins home. She was very professional and made the entire process very seamless and comfortable for everyone. Maryann is knowable, reliable, and caring. She is also well versed in sleep training and has a natural affinity toward children. She was helpful from day one.”

Maryann is highly skilled not only with newborns, but also in nurturing the mother. When Maryann arrived for the evening, I felt I could truly relax and get much needed sleep. She was always right on time, helpful and very respectful of my space. I also came to rely on Maryann’s advice about the twins’ sleeping habits and her observations of them in general. Maryann is also able to handle unexpected situations with poise and professionalism. On the second night of her employment, I experienced a postpartum hemorrhage, a very serious condition. Thankfully, Maryann was there to call 911 and assist me. Although Maryann had never experienced such a situation, she was calm, cool and collected. I was in the hospital overnight and never once worried that Maryann could not handle the twins.

Maryann helped us with our baby boy from the time he was born until he was 4 months old. We live out of the area so she stayed in our home and helped us during the day and night. In brief she was nothing short of amazing. From my very first interview with her, I KNEW she was the NCS I wanted to hire. This was our first baby and without family in town I wanted someone I could learn from and who could lend the extra hand we needed. She was the calming force we needed on our home. I don’t know in all our time together I ever saw her get upset, stressed, frazzled, anything! Maryann is extremely knowledgeable about everything baby related, but was in no way over bearing. She still gave me the space to make decisions I felt comfortable with. She helped to set us and our baby up for success. He eats and sleeps well and is truly one of the happiest babies I’ve been around. He’s been sleeping 7pm-7am since about 3 months.
As a person Maryann is extremely thoughtful and considerate. I had a tougher postpartum recovery than expected and she was instrumental in allowing me the time to rest while making sure our baby was cared for. She even went out of her way to make sure I had plenty of delicious food and water when I was bed bound. She has traveled with us on one trip already and will be going on another one soon. When you have someone living in your home and traveling with you, you see the true side of a person. I consider her a dear friend and know she will be in our lives forever. I encourage anyone needing an NCS to have a conversation with Maryann, you won’t be disappointed!

Maryann helped us the first week our twins came home from the hospital for 3 months. Being a first time mom she was my North Star! Her knowledge about newborns and multiples is incredible. She helped me get them on a schedule so they would sleep through the night, how to feed them at the same time, solve any issues the girls were having, advised me on things to order to make my life easier, upcoming milestones and even more importantly get rest!!! She was always on time and is incredibly professional. We were very comfortable having her in our home. We will miss having her very much but she’s so good at her job we no longer need help at night. The girls are sleeping very long stretches (6+ hours at night) at 12 weeks and they came 3 weeks early!! This wouldn’t be happening without her. I can’t recommend Maryann enough.
