We used Margaret’s overnight services for several months following the birth of our triplet sons. I eagerly anticipated her arrival on the nights she worked for us, as I could get seven hours of uninterrupted sleep, knowing that my triplets were in experienced hands. I slept very soundly on those nights and I didn’t have any reservations leaving my sons under her care. I have recommended Margaret’s services to other moms of multiples and will continue to do so.
Margaret was our post partum doula after the birth of my 3rd son. Coming home from the hospital I had a 5yr old, almost 2yr old, and a newborn baby boy. Needless to say our hands were full! We felt very fortunate to have found Margaret! One of my main concerns was being able to have time and energy to spend with my older boys while still be able to care for my newborn baby and Margaret was key to making that possible. She helped out tremendously with the household chores and even helping to get my older boys settled down so that I could have some rest time too. I would recommend her to anyone whether it is your first child or your third. It was great to be able to enjoy my new baby and other children while having someone there to help!

Margaret was a fantastic doula for us when our twins arrived. Being first time parents, we knew we were going to need help, but we didn’t know all the types of support we would need. Margaret was great at providing assistance on so many levels. She worked with us during the daytime which allowed me to rest and focus on my children. Margaret did it all, including accompanying me on pediatrician visits, running errands, organizing our baby essentials, and keeping our dog happy. She is a fantastic resource on lactation issues, baby care, and new baby activities in our area (like yoga and ECFE).

Margaret Owens worked with us for the first few months after our second child was born, and she was a blessing in our lives. We were under a lot of pressure at that time, for we had a high-needs toddler, we were both working full-time and was dad travelling while mom was only able to take a short maternity leave. However, Margaret Owens made everything work out much better than we ever thought possible. She’d come over a few times a week just as the toddler was heading to bed, and we would hand her the baby and some pumped breast-milk and head upstairs for some much needed sleep. Eight hours later we’d wake up to find the baby happy and snug in Margaret’s arms, a little full smile on her face from having drank all her milk — and the living room was even tidied up and the laundry all folded, all those little receiving blankets in neat stacks. It was kind of like that fable of the Elves and the Shoemaker, the one where the Shoemaker wakes up to find all his work done in the night — except this was real. If we ever become billionaires we’ll pay for Margaret Owens to help everyone who ever has a baby, she takes all the stress out of new-parenthood and lets you get some sleep and enjoy the experience, a gift for which we’re still grateful.
