Jessica supported our newborn when we came home from the NICU. Leading up to our start date, Jessica was extremely flexible as we ended up having to move our delivery date twice. She checked in on me and came to do an at home visit prior to starting which was helpful to make us feel comfortable and get to know one another. It's hard leaving your baby in the care of someone you don't know very well overnight, but she made us feel safe and comfortable.
Jessica was so wonderful with our baby, she gave great advice and answered a bunch of questions I had about our baby and my own recovery. She is a wealth of knowledge and kind. You can tell she takes a lot of pride in taking care of babies and mothers/families and she knows her stuff! She really took the time to answer my questions and have thoughtful suggestions on how to care for our baby.
My only regret is not being able to keep her for longer:) She is truly wonderful!

We needed a doula that was reliable, knowledgeable and trustworthy. Jessica exceeded our expectations. Candidly, we didn't know exactly what to expect from Jessica. We trusted her reviews and trusted the process and Jessica came through...big time. She is kind and gentle, and deep down she is a total powerhouse. You want her on your side if things get tough. She is also a great sounding board for ideas and thoughts.
My wife and I debated having a Doula, and we are so grateful that we made the investment. Jessica is the real deal. 5 stars.

As first time parents, working with Jessica as a nght doula was probably the single greatest decision we made as we entered a new chapter of our lives as parents. Having her help a few nights a week for the first couple weeks of our child's life made all the difference in our newborn experience - it allowed us to finally get some rest, get recharged, and be able to be more present and enjoy every moment of those first precious weeks.
We have nothing but positive things to say about Jessica's professionalism and ability to provide quality care. She was extremely easy to communicate and work with and was extremely responsive to our family's changing needs. She has a wealth of childcare knowledge that she was extremely generous in sharing with us as new parents. We always felt extremely comfortable leaving our child in her care and would work with her again in a heartbeat if we ever have second child. We highly reccomend Jessica for your family!

Jessica was so lovely! She was equally skilled at handling our older children (4&6) as she was at caring for our newborn. She has a gift with babies and got our fussy, gassy infant calm and cozy. She has a beautiful and calm presence that was so helpful during an incredibly stressful time for our family. And best of all, somehow she got our baby to sleep through the night!! Absolutely magical and worth her weight in gold.

Jessica has helped raise our little since she was 7 months old and the love she shows my child while protecting her, teaching me and helping us grown as a family has made her a permanent member of our family. I'd suggest booking her quickly becuase she is a life saver!

We are so incredibly fortunate and happy to have had Jessica for the postpartum period to help with our baby overnight. She is incredibly reliable, knowledgeable, and caring and we couldn't have asked for a better doula for our newborn. Jessica also gave us tips and advice as we are first time parents and helped with my breastfeeding challenges in the beginning. Her nurturing presence, expertise in postpartum care, and ability to soothe both baby and me made a world of difference. She provided invaluable support, from assisting with nighttime feedings and diaper changes to offering emotional guidance and creating a peaceful atmosphere. Because of her, we were able to get some rest while assured that our baby is in great hands. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of compassionate and knowledgeable nighttime care.
