“Joy helped me try new [breastfeeding] positions and encouraged me even though my baby had difficulty  latching. She went above and beyond the call of duty, anticipating our family’s needs.”  RG, New Mother, Postpartum Client

“Joy provided outstanding childcare for our family for two years before becoming a doula. She’s extremely warm, comforting, listens and takes direction well. We always felt secure with our daughter in her care. She’s great fun too; always happy to play dress up or get all muddy. Now that we are expecting our second baby; we are thrilled to have Joy as a resource to help our family with this transition.” NL, Wallingford, mother of a toddler and one on the way

“Joy has been working with our family for several years, caring for our eldest daughter since she was one and our youngest since birth.  When our youngest was born, Joy was instrumental in assisting our eldest daughter with the transition.  She managed both children with ease, attending to their specific needs as well as my own.  We trust Joy implicitly and have often looked to her for guidance and insight on early childhood development. We especially appreciate Joy’s respect for our children and their individual needs.  She has also never passed judgment on any of our views on parenting or wishes for our children.  A big bonus is that she always leaves our house neater and cleaner than how she found it.  Throughout, Joy has been positive, helpful, thoughtful, consistent, loving, and responsible.  We recommend Joy without reservation or hesitation; any family would be lucky to have her. Joy is truly a joy!” JR, Captiol Hill, mother of two adorable little girls
