Inspired Doula Care

WE LOVE MARJORIE! She worked with us for over 3 months, 7 nights a week as a night nanny for our twin boys when they were 2 – 5 months old. Marjorie was FANTASTIC!
I was nervous at first to hire a night nanny because it can be uncomfortable having a stranger in your house tending to your babies at night while you sleep, but we felt COMPLETELY comfortable with Marjorie in our house. She was always calm, happy and trustworthy. It was wonderful knowing Marjorie was there to take care of the babies so we could sleep peacefully and wake up fully rested.
Honestly, I would recommend her to anyone. She always showed up on time (never late once), she knew what needed to be done around the house without needing to be asked (such as washing bottles & baby laundry), and most importantly, she took excellent care of our babies.
Our #1 priority for whomever we hired was that they needed to be gentle and kind with our babies — Marjorie exceeded our expectations. She clearly has a lot of experience, and we could tell during her interview that she was going to be a great nanny for the boys. I’m happy to be a reference for anyone interested in hiring her. We’ll DEFINITELY call her for our next round of babies :)

Marjorie was our night doula one or two nights a week for the first two months at home with our pre-​term twin daughters. She came highly recommended by numerous parents of multiples and she was as wondeful as they all said she was. From the first night Marjorie stayed with us she was able to put our entire family at ease. The babies were always soothed by her and we could actually SLEEP! She is kind, knowledgable, loving, and funny! She was extremely flexible with the nights that we needed her, she was always right on time, and she was always so happy to see the girls. She was a wealth of knowledge and support when one of my girls was struggling with reflux and weight gain, and she always celebrated the little things with us like feeds without spit-​ups or a few ounces of weight gain in one week. I would recommend Marjorie to any family looking for a looking for a loving and confident doula who is wonderful with babies and parents alike!

Marjorie is INCREDIBLE!!! I wish I could give her ten stars. From the moment she walked in our house my husband and I knew she was the perfect choice to help with our newborn. She is so loving and caring and you can tell that she loves working with families. We were having a difficult time transitioning to life with a baby and none of the classes we took prepared us for the sleep deprivation or what to do if your baby would not stop crying even after you do all of the swaddling and shushing. Marjorie showed us several techniques to help soothe our baby so she was sleeping and eating better. Everyone in the house is less stressed because of her. She helped me with my breastfeeding techniques and never made me feel silly or stupid for the endless amount of questions that I asked. The best gift she gave me was helping me to feel confident that I was doing the best thing for my baby and that nothing I was doing was «wrong». The doctor said my baby had colic and I would just have to get through these crying fits. Marjorie had her calm within minutes. She comforts our baby and allows both my husband and I to get some sleep. Even my mom was excited to learn everything that Marjorie was teaching us and she has already raised three kids. Marjorie is like a baby whisperer.
We are having to move for our jobs soon and I wish we could pack Marjorie up with us. She is by far the best decision we made for our baby and everyone in our house is happier and better prepared because of her.

Marjorie is absolutely wonderful! There are no words to describe how much we loved having her around following the birth of our first child. She is the most caring and nurturing person, for the baby, as well as for me. She brought with her such a calming presence during a stressful time, and was exceedingly patient with me as I asked her endless questions about taking care of our daughter. After 4.5 months, she is still helping me when I have questions about the baby, which I seem to have often! And our baby loves her. When Marjorie cared for the baby at night, the baby did not cry once. It was amazing. Furthermore, before I went back to work, we had our child care fall through, and Marjorie scrambled to help us find a wonderful nanny. Marjorie is loving, caring and nurturing. I would highly, highly recommend her services to anyone!

I’ve worked with Marjorie for several years on numerous postpartum doula jobs all around San Diego county. Marjorie is highly skilled in the art of «mothering the new mother» when it comes to guiding new parents through learning how to take care of their newborns. She is known for her expertise with multiples (twins and triplets!) and of course with delicate preemies. Marjorie is a certified lactation counselor and is able to help with breastfeeding in the early weeks which is so critical to long term success. She has been a pleasure to work with in any co-​doula situation we have been in together. All of the families I know that have hired Marjorie simply adore her. She is a wonderful listener and such a sweet lady! If you need a quality postpartum doula, don’t hesitate to contact Marjorie!

Marjorie is amazing! I would recommend her to anyone looking for postpartum doula care. As first-​time parents with no family in town, we were overwhelmed at the thought of bringing our newborn son home from the hospital and having no idea what to do! Marjorie is an expert at what she does, and we felt completely comfortable with her from the first time we met her. She is so sweet, patient, down-​to-​earth, and incredibly helpful with anything and everything relating to baby care! She would come to our house around 9 or 10 pm and stayed until 6 am. Her schedule is flexible so she can come as many or few hours as you need her. You can use her for a few days or a few weeks, or longer! (it becomes very hard to let her go!) We initially said 1 week, then that quickly turned into 2 weeks, and then every other night for a 3^rd week. We were sad to see her go, but ended up feeling so confident on our own with all the knowledge gained from Marjorie! She taught us everything we needed to know about feeding, swaddling, sleeping, bathing, and even taught us tricks to calm crying instantly! I’m so glad we found Marjorie, and I know any family would feel the same way!

All I can say is «Marjourie was without a doubt, invaluable to our family». Bringing our twins home from the hospital and having a 2 year old at home already was a scary and unknown time for us. Marjourie made us super comfortable and allowed me to get some sleep and spend time with my 2 year old feeling 100 percent comfortable and not guilty. I would do it all over again in a heart beat. The best investment I have ever made toe and my family life.
