Testimonials
“Janine is incredibly trustworthy, intuitive and very easy to be with. She somehow gets on quietly with things and helped our household run. She made delicious food (I’ve never eaten such yummy and healthy food!). She soothed our baby so I’m could shower/rest. She is great company too.
Janine helped me with sorting and planning for my baby’s needs (sleeping arrangements, tying a sling, pumping plans). Just those organisational tasks that are so hard when you are sleep deprived. I don’t know how I could have done it without her (although I can hear her saying ‘it was all you!’). Janine really recognised and feedback to me my strengths and efforts as a mum which boosted me up especially when I needed it.
Janine is a really special and rare person, with caring for others at her core. Her service is worth every penny." Jemma (2022)
“Janine has been so helpful around the house as soon as I came from hospital. She gave me plenty of amazing advice too. She is dedicated, on time, efficient also extremely kind and motherly. That's what I just needed. She can lovingly care for a baby and at the same time cook delicious meals and tidy up. She is a creative cook and makes nourishing meals. We loved her. I highly recommend Janine to any new mums.”- Katarina (2020)
"It has been such a pleasure to have Janine with us during the first few weeks of motherhood. I had a difficult start with breastfeeding, but with Janine's support and knowledge, my daughter is now fully breastfed and gaining weight nicely. Janine is very supportive, caring and non-judgmental. She has played with my toddler son, helped a lot around the house, cooked some lovely family food and introduced us to baby wearing. My daughter loves being snuggled in the wrap. I would highly recommend Janine to other families without hesitation and miss her here already!" Anne (2016)
"We couldn’t recommend Janine highly enough! Her support, both practical and emotional, was invaluable in the first few weeks after we returned home from a long hospital stay after the birth of our first baby. Her intuitive approach makes it so easy; she just knows what can best be done to help out and does it perfectly, with the added benefit of taking away some mental burden for a few precious hours. I particularly valued her professional knowledge and expertise in childcare which she shared in a way that made me feel confident and happy in my development as a first time mum." Becca (2018)
“ JANINE WAS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT WITH ALL THAT SHE DID. HAVING MIDWIFERY EXPERIENCE IS AN ABSOLUTE BONUS. BEING FIRST TIME PARENTS WE DIDN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT WHAT TO REALLY DO, BUT JANINE GUIDED US THROUGH EVERYTHING RELATED TO OUR BABY ALONG WITH PRACTICAL HELP AROUND THE HOUSE. SHE WAS SO ENCOURAGING AND GOT US THROUGH THOSE INITIAL MONTHS WITH A BIG SMILE ON OUR FACES. SHE HAS BEEN GOD SENT TO US!” JOANNE (2021)
“I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO RECOMMEND JANINE TO ANY NEW MUM / FAMILY THAT NEEDS SOME EXTRA SUPPORT. JANINE IS NOT ONLY A WONDERFULLY KIND AND CALMING PERSON TO HAVE AROUND, BUT ALSO A VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND EXPERIENCED DOULA WHO IS BRILLIANT WITH NEW AND YOUNG BABIES. MY DAUGHTER WAS SUFFERING FROM REFLUX AND SHE REALLY HELPED ME DEAL WITH THE UNCERTAINTY, FEEDING ISSUES AND ENCOURAGED ME TO TAKE SOME TIME FOR MYSELF WHICH I REALLY NEEDED. SHE WAS ALSO WONDERFUL WITH MY TODDLER WHO BECAME JUST AS EXCITED FOR HER VISITS AS I DID. JANINE IS ALSO A BRILLIANT COOK AND CAN CREATE ANYTHING FROM WHATEVER IS IN THE FRIDGE WHICH IS AMAZING WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE MUCH IN AND HAVEN’T HAD TIME TO SHOP. JANINE IS ALSO REALLY EASY TO TALK TO ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE HAVING A BAD DAY AND I TRUSTED HER COMPLETELY WITH MY BABY.” ANNA (2020)
“Janine is someone who can unobtrusively join a home and see things that need doing and how to help without being asked. She is calm and kind and obviously wonderful with babies, she was also great with my older child who had his moments of adjusting to his new role as big brother! Both children grew to love her. I will always look back on this period with fond memories of home cooked meals, a few extra hours of sleep each week, and fresh, hot cups of tea appearing just when I needed them! I wish every new mum could have a Janine in their life!” Abigail (2022)
