Testimonials:
We hired Tabu after our daughter was 1 month old; we traveled to France, and just got back, and were very much jetlagged and needed a lot of rest. If I had known Tabu before, I would have hired her since the beginningwhen my daughter was just born. Tabu is naturally very good with babies. You can feel right away that she is nurturing and knows how to comfort anewborn. She is very natural at holding her, changing, soothing, giving a bottle... well, she has 3 kids of her own. She has good confidence whichis very important when it's your first baby and you have so many questions to ask. She'll tell you great stories if you need to hear something else than just babies and diapers, very important to switch your mind off sometimes. She is very eager to help for anything you might need. She'll do the dishes, wash the bottles, make sure the place is tidy when she leaves all that you should expect from a doula. What's very important is that she took care of my daughter, and took care of me in a sense, being so reassuring and all. She was great with anticipating whenever my daughter was about to wake up, so that we didn't hear her crying and could get the sleep we needed. When Tabu was here, we usually went to bed around 10:00pm and sleep the whole night through. I would definitely recommend her to anyone. No mistakes here. She's amazing and we fell in love with her.

It is with pleasure that I recommend Tabu Boone as a post-partum doula. Tabu has worked for me for 3 months as a doula and has been with us since the twins were 5 days old. I always felt we were in excellent hands with Tabu. Tabu is a knowledgeable, confidant and a compassionate doula. She has been deeply committed in supporting me and my choices with the babies. She has been particularly helpful in the areas of breastfeeding and pumping (very knowledgeable). When I decided to stop nursing she was just as supportive and non judgmental, which I greatly appreciated. Tabu has also been very helpful in sleep training the twins. She has been dedicated and supportive with my wishes. Thanks to Tabu the twins have developed healthy sleeping habits and are sleeping longer. Finally I can’t say enough about Tabu’s ability to handle newborn twins. She is able to juggle both babies with ease (even when they are both crying). She is calm and soothing with the babies and it has been wonderful to watch how they respond to her warmth and caring.

I am a single mom of twin boys and needed some help during the night, so my midwives put out an email with their doula group. At the time the boys were ten weeks old. Tabu responded and after meeting her, I felt very comfortable having her care for my twins at night while I got some sleep. Our arrangement was for her to come Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10pm-6am for four weeks. Tabu was wonderful to have. She was able to feed, change, and soothe the twins during the night. I often didn’t even wake up when they cried even though our rooms are connected because she was so quick to attend to their needs. She also folded the boys’ laundry, which was a huge help because the twins create a lot of laundry and it’s hard to find the time to fold it myself. She would also wash all the bottles so that they were clean and ready to use in the morning. The boys were always in a great mood in the mornings after being cared for by Tabu and we would gladly use her services again.

Tabu Boone is a lady who worked for me as a night doula when I had a baby for the first three months. She is great; she knows what she is doing. She wakes me up to feed the baby, and assists me with the breastfeed. Tabu took care of the baby so we can get some rest and sleep. She took the baby and cares while at night and reminds me things I forgot to do for me and also for a baby. She takes extra mile doing her job, and she likes what she is doing. I can refer her to everybody, and I will hire her again when I get another baby.

Tabu was recommended to me by a very good friend of mine. She started working for us when my son was only one week old. We hired her to come one night per week so that I could have a full night of sleep once a week. She worked for us until my son was almost 2 months old. She was very sweet with my baby and he loved being with her. Tabu is very competent, responsible and caring. She is an experienced doula and a mother herself. She has a loving, gentle and confident way of dealing with babies. She is surely very helpful for new moms, who need to be comforted, supported and advised on the journey of motherhood.

We first met Tabu at the hospital. We had just given birth to our baby boy. He was a day old and we still hadn’t decided on a night doula. We had interviewed a few before then, but didn’t find anyone that we felt completely at ease with. So, we were planning an interview with Tabu in our home, but baby decided to come early. She was very flexible and was able to come by the hospital. This flexibility characterizes her as we were able to have a flexible schedule. Other doulas were more rigid in scheduling.
From the first meeting with Tabu, she was very warm and easy to talk to. After speaking with several of her references, who gave her great praise, we decided to take her on. We liked her because other night doulas we spoke with had their own strong opinions on how to care for baby, especially feeding. We wanted to breastfeed only and other doulas were more into feeding the baby formula. Tabu supported our decision to breastfeed and offered advice as we went along. But she was never pushy.
The first night we had Tabu over, we were a little nervous in having someone watch our baby, he being our first child, but Tabu put us at ease. Baby took well to her and she helped us so much in those beginning months when baby was waking up every two hours at night. With her help we were able to catch up on some rest. Tabu was also very willing to help with a few light chores which was very helpful and sets her apart from other doulas we interviewed who were not willing to. In all, we strongly recommend Tabu’s services as she is a flexible, caring, and supportive doula.
