Mary was the babysitter for our daughter from age 6 months - 13 months. She was very dependable, sweet, patient and fun! Our daughter loved spending time with her. We were so sad to see her go, but glad we were able to find someone like her to watch over our little girl for us!

We advise you to take extra precautions when hiring a doula near you in Aurora, IL by running your own background check and by interviewing a handful of candidates.

You can hire a birth doula to assist you during birth, you can hire a postpartum doula to provide you with care after delivery, or you can hire a night doula (also known as an overnight doula) to keep an eye on your newborn while you get some much needed rest.
