Dinner and a Doula $95
Are you a new momma? This deal is for you.
Dinner and a DOULA? Say what?!? This is an AMAZING deal. Andrea (the Doula in "Dinner and a Doula", and a local mama of four) comes to YOUR house, makes YOU dinner (while watching your 0-6 month old baby), and gives YOU a chance to eat in peace while she takes care of the baby. Too good to be true? Well, add that it is only $95 - that's cheaper than a night out and a babysitter! Andrea has a special menu of postpartum recipes but she can cook whatever you would like within reason (you supply the ingredients and stock kitchen prior to the date). The special is being offered for the entire month of February. The purchase needs to be made this month, but the dinner session can be scheduled anytime.
Covid protocols followed: Andrea will remain masked the entire time, and wash her hands frequently and asks that you mask up within 6 feet of her, but if you cannot, she is comfortable with your preference. Andrea will be sure to reschedule/refund if anyone in her household is sick, and would ask you to do the same.
