TESTIMONIALS
Client Testimonies
What our cherished clients are saying about our services.
Georgina cared for our infant daughter for several weeks after we came home from the hospital. Georgina was a JOY to have in our home, she cared for our daughter with the know-how and advice of a seasoned professional and the care of a mom. We felt so comfortable entrusting our baby to her and we’re able to truly relax and get some sleep, the best gift to newborn parents. We would recommend her to anyone!
After reaching out to numerous companies and individuals, Our Joy Infant Care (recommended by a friend) felt like the right fit! Specifically working with Leticia has been such a pleasure! She started with us right after leaving the hospital. As a first-time mom, her experience and guidance has been so valuable! She is so proactive and has even given us tips and a routine for the future (after she’s no longer working with us). I’ve felt completely confident leaving our son in her care overnight - which was key for us to get some sleep :) Leticia has been so wonderful, and we will miss her!!
“Jocelyn started working with us when our baby was 1 week old, and she was fantastic! She is clearly extremely experienced with newborns, and we were immediately comfortable leaving our tiny new baby in her care for the evenings. She has a very calming and confident presence and served as an expert resource for all things baby in those early days. We would highly recommend Jocelyn to anyone!”
“My husband and I referred to Georgina as “our angel” and we always looked forward to her visits! During a very vulnerable time, we felt comfortable with her instantly. Her experience with infants was obvious, and we loved how she provided proactive suggestions to us throughout our newborn journey. Georgina helped us to get our rest at night so we could truly enjoy those special moments with our newborn during the day. We will always be grateful for her and consider her the fairy godmother for our little guy!”
As first-time parents, we didn't know what taking care of a newborn entailed so we thought it would be helpful to have a night nurse to provide relief from the many sleepless nights in the first few months. When we met Margaret, she was so knowledgeable about not just the nighttime necessities for a newborn but also what we should be doing during the day to ensure a good night for our son. We had Margaret come to our house the first night we came home from the hospital, and she put us at ease from night one. She made the entire experience of being a new parent so much easier and enjoyable. Hiring the team of night nurses from Our Joy of Infant Care was the best parenting decision we ever made!
