Testimonial for Loving Hands Doulas
We had the wonderful opportunity to work with all 3 Doulas of Loving Hands for our newborn from 3 days old to 12 weeks old. Beth, Carol and Jen were all amazing, caring, patient, instructional and flexible with their time and scheduling. All 3 truly love babies and care about their wellbeing and the wellbeing of the parents.
They were a much needed break a few times a week, overnight, to allow us to get some rest in the early days of this transtion. We were first time parents and were nervous but they eased all of our concerns. They were available, seemingly, 24-7 for emails and text questions. They guided us with all aspects of childcare from sleeping, diapering, feeding, playing, soothing, etc...
We could not imagine doing this without them and if we could do it again, we would. They came highly recommended from other new moms and we have since recommended them to close friends and family (who also are using them).
A bonus perk was they not only are willing but push to do laundry and dishes (especially the babies). They will prep all bottles in morning before leaving. Our house was always organized when they left.
If not available, they are well connected to other doulas/nannies who can assist as well. We never heard them say "no."
Their cost is not unreasonable compared to the Philadelphia market and especially for night work. You will not be disappointed with their service.
