Jacquie was a godsend when our son was born. We were pretty clear we didn’t want many people around after his birth so we could spend time getting comfortable in our own little family unit. However, we didn’t know how exhausted we would be, or how many questions we would have! Jacquie stayed up with Arlo in the middle of the night to afford us some precious sleep. And she helped this new mama with baby basics like baby wearing, bathing and sleeping– without judgement or fanfare. She also naturally made sure the house was clean, healthy meals were made, and fresh water was always by my side. She is the kind of person who knows how to step in and help without a great deal of direction–never overstepping the line–just having a natural sense about what will be helpful in any situation.

Jacquie was recommended to me by my birth doula who was not available for overnights at the time. I booked her that same night and then extended it 2 nights and then another night a few weeks later. I still see her and keep in touch. She has become a part of my family. She is so friendly, caring, loving, understanding, knowledgable and confident. When your life is turned upsidedown by the birth of your child and you can’t think straight, call Jacquie. She will come to your house and give you a hug, lovingly take the baby into her arms, tell you to go sleep and then make you food and clean for you while you sleep. She also listened when I cried and helped me with nursing, and just showed so much compassion and care towards me and my family. Jacquie understands what it’s like and she truly truly cares for each family she meets. If you are even thinking about hiring an overnight doula, just pick up the phone or email her today. It will be the best decision you ever make. And her French Toast is the best I’ve ever had!!   ~Ellie’s Mom, 2017
