      I don’t typically give raving reviews. My experience however was solid the entire time she worked with us. She communicated and always showed up on time. Only downside was our baby began to really like her so he would get excited and try to play with her at night! Overall great experience.

      I’ve worked with Janessa since I started as a doula myself and she has taught me just about everything I know. She’s compassionate, informative, knowledgable, dependable and always there for the family’s she works for. She engages and interacts with every baby like her own and cares for every mother like it’s her sister

      Janessa saved us immensely during the first few months with our newborn twins. I looked forward to every night we had with her. Janessa was always on time and very prompt and attentive to the individual needs of both babies. I’ll never forget the first night she came – I introduced her to the routine and she told me to go to bed, which I very graciously agreed to. I told her I’d likely be up in an hour or two, when I heard the twins cry… however I slept almost five hours. I never heard a peep and I came downstairs to two very happy babies, drinking their bottles. She helped us with dishes and laundry as well. She was a blessing we will never forget!
