Kind Words

 

“Working with Mollie transformed my postpartum time; I cannot speak highly enough of the experience. At a time when I was dedicating all of my energy to my baby, Mollie was focused on me… it ended up being the greatest decision to have her in our home and by my side.”

— Sarah S.

“Hiring Mollie has been the best decision we’ve made as a family to date. I wish the postpartum period definition could be extended to 18 years, so that Mollie could help our lives run smoothly and with great joy for as long as our children are home.”

— Matt N.

 

“After two tough postpartum periods with our first two sons, I was scared to be jumping back into the newborn game. However, Mollie made the transition from 2-3 a relative breeze. It’s so easy to lose yourself in the newborn days, but Mollie made sure I was fed, bathed, and rested as I did the same for my son. Groceries, laundry, and meals were ‘magically’ managed, and I had the brain space to focus on bonding with my baby, as well as integrating him into our family.”

— Fionna N.

 

 “Mollie was an incredible addition to our family and my postpartum experience. Baby came a week early and I was not fully prepared. Mollie was in touch periodically before I gave birth to check in and changed her schedule around to be with us as soon as I was released from the hospital. From Mollie’s incredible cooking, organizing superpower, laundry guru-ness, and baby whispering, I looked forward to her days with us knowing my baby would be in safe, loving hands and I could get some much needed rest. It was so helpful to also have someone besides my partner to talk to on a consistent basis (I don’t have family in the area) as well and to get sound advice from and someone to talk to without judgement. I’ve talked to so many friends who were overwhelmed during their maternity leaves and while I was exhausted, I knew my partner and I had help/support in those crucial first few weeks.”

— Claudia M.

 

“Mollie has been incredibly helpful and supportive during my transition into parenthood. She has cooked delicious and healthy food, has come to my house to help with the baby (and adheres to COVID-19 safety protocols), and to help orient me on how to best care for myself and baby during this time. She is very flexible with scheduling, responds quickly, and has also provided a number of resources (lactation support, baby photography, massage therapist...). I am very grateful and would highly recommend working with her! And I added her website to my registry and her gift certificates are very easy for family and friends to purchase!”

— Dena B.

 

“Mollie is a superstar postpartum resource for moms and families. Mollie took such excellent care of me after two c-section births. She made sure I was physically okay - ensuring I was drinking enough water, eating, showering - but also was an invaluable resource for my mental health. Mollie is a compassionate, resourceful, and warm person who comes to postpartum care with a non-judgmental lens and a sense of humor. I cannot recommend Mollie enough.”

— Dana R.

 

“Having Mollie with us was the best investment in myself and my family that we could have made postpartum. She supported us through the very vulnerable first weeks until the end of the fourth trimester, always with insight, warmth and judgement free. She also makes a fantastic breakfast. It takes a village, thank you for being part of ours!”

— Leah P.

 

“Mollie has been so unbelievably helpful during my postpartum period. When I became pregnant with my fourth and final baby, I knew I wanted a different postpartum experience than my previous three times and working with Mollie helped me achieve that. From our first phone call, I knew she was the right fit for my family. She brought a huge sigh of relief the first shift she worked at four day postpartum. Mollie would check in on days she wasn't in our home and I always knew she was available if I needed something. Plus, she seemed to always know exactly what I needed while I battled sleep deprivation. Mollie brought such a calming presence to an otherwise chaotic house during a vulnerable time. I am so grateful for her and highly recommend anyone seeking postpartum support to hire her!”

— Rebecca L.
