I worked with Raquel as a post-partum doula after my twins were born.  She did daytime care.  She was very conscientous about their care, noting things that I might want to be aware of, like investigating if they had lip and tongue ties (it turns out they did).  She was very capable at caring for both babies at the same time, by herself.  She came with me to a few doctor's appointments and helped both care for the babies during the appointment and ask the right questions of the healthcare provider (I was tired and not always remembering everything).  She was also very helpful in organizing the nursery and keeping everything clean and in the right place.  I appreciated her support for me as well.  I didn't experience post partum depression or worries about parenting (I'm not a first time mom) this time around, but it was nice to have someone I could talk to about stuff and help with fun things like taking pictures (hard to do with two!).  And there were plenty of times I just took a nap, relaxed in the knowledge that my babies were in capable hands.  I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive post-partum doula.
