Post a testimonial for Joy Swick
5/21/2026
Joy was one of two night doulas that we used for the first six weeks of our twins life. Having her in our lives was invaluable, so much so that we extended her contract 2 weeks further than originally planned.
She is knowledgeable, skilled and easy to talk to. She provided us with basic tips about baby caring and twin caring when asked, and showed immense skill and love when handling our newborns.
We had her for 9 hours every night, which meant that I got lots of sleep but also someone to debrief the day on, and look for tips and improvement. She seemed genuinely happy to arrive every evening, and she cared for our babies as if they were her own. Her calming presence set us at ease, and the babies seemed to always be calmer with her as well. We have told many other pregnant friends about her skill, but recommend her to anyone looking for a night nurse you can trust.

I hired Joy in January after being alone with baby#3 for the first 2 months and almost reaching a point of losing my health. Joy has been the best doula ever. I tried a couple others. And didn't go with them but chose Joy. She is very professional and very knowledgeable and patient with baby. I also tend to talk a lot from my adhd and she never says anything, just always patiently listens! I would highly recommend her to any family with a baby or babies on the way. She also made some suggestions with the sleep sack, since bub sleeps a lot better at night. An excellent doula. 10/10.

Hiring Joy was the perfect decision for my family. Her experience and gentle demeanor put our infant, my husband and I all at ease. We knew our baby and toddler were in great hands, her communication was excellent, and she went above and beyond to support our household (and gave us the sweetest parting gift!). Thanks!
