Josy helped us care for our newborn daughter in the weeks after her birth. She did an amazing job of caring for our daughter. Josy was always highly professional, kind, empathetic, punctual, and helpful. She was able to give us tips and advice while also giving us much-needed rest during both daytime and nighttime shifts. We trusted her completely to take care of the baby, and she gave us an enormous amount of relief during those challenging first weeks. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Joaseane was an essential part of my delivery. She was incredibly kind and made us feel connected and supported throughout the process. I’m thankful we had the privilege of having her there for the birth of my daughter. Thank you, Josi! Our family loves you!

I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Joseane de Jesus Ferreira on multiple occasions, and I can say with complete confidence that she is one of the most dedicated, knowledgeable, and compassionate doulas I’ve ever met.

Joseane has been my trusted backup doula many times, and every single client she supported had nothing but praise for her work. Her calm presence, strong clinical knowledge, and deep empathy make families feel genuinely cared for and empowered — whether it’s during the intensity of labor or the delicate postpartum phase.

She holds multiple certifications, including CPR and First Aid, Lactation Education, Newborn Care, and Child Development, and it shows in her confidence and ability to respond to any situation with grace and professionalism.

If you’re looking for a doula who is fully committed, culturally sensitive, and deeply skilled, I wholeheartedly recommend Joseane. She goes above and beyond, and your family will be in the best possible hands.

With gratitude,
Maristela Davids Azevedo

Josy is an experienced doula who really cares about the health, safety, and comfort of the children under her watch.  She has been taking great care of my baby girl for the past month.  From feedings to diaper changes to play time, Josy keeps my baby engaged and well cared for.  Additionally, I have learned a lot from Josy that have improved my parenting such as how to pace my baby's feedings, how to properly adjust diaper fit, how to handle sleep regression, how to introduce solids, and how to engage with her in interactive play.  I recommend Josy as an experienced doula!

Josy has been helping our family for close to a year now. She started taking care of our kids when my youngest was about 12 months old and my oldest had just turned 5. Josy is very responsible and always on time. The kids love her - she's both loving and fun, making me feel great about leaving the kids in her care. Josy is also very proactive in helping around the house - whether it's the laundry, dishes or tidying up, she's always on top of things. We love having her part of our lives!

Josy is a highly qualified, dedicated, and compassionate doula committed to the well-being of the families she supports. Her approach is always warm, gentle, and empathetic, creating a safe and nurturing environment for both babies and parents. In addition to her extensive hands-on experience, she holds a specialization in infant care from the Colorado College, further enhancing her expertise and ability to provide specialized support. With additional training in lactation, Josy excels in assisted me through this crucial stage, offering valuable guidance and practical support to help me feel confident and well-informed. Her dedication extends beyond immediate care, as she continuously seeks further education to ensure she provides the highest level of support to me and my family, and other families she served.

Joseane (Josy) served as my doula’s backup for a few days, and during that time, I quickly understood why my doula chose her. She is dedicated, responsible, kind, and incredibly gentle. She cared for our daughter as if she were her own, and I truly appreciated the love and attention she provided. Her warmth and nurturing approach put me at ease, making my nights much easier, knowing my daughter was in such capable hands. Josy is also highly knowledgeable, particularly in lactation, which was an immense help to me. I couldn’t have asked for a better support system!

Josy was our night nanny for our newborn and she was great--so gentle with our baby, knowledgeable about him and his development, and kept him safe and comfortable overnight. As a new mom, I knew when I went to bed that my baby was in good hands. She was also always on time and a great communicator. Highly recommend Josy!
