  • "Oh my goodness new mamas, I thought I didn't need this service. Boy was I wrong. I just had the most blissful night sleeping while knowing my baby was in great hands. He would be brought to me happy and hungry when he was ready to feed, then lovingly taken away to be burped, changed, and watched while he slept again. What a treat! They also help with breastfeeding tips, sleep training, postpartum care, etc. Having someone medically trained serving our family at this time was so amazing! My husband was able to sleep all night uninterrupted in the guest room to give him the energy to care for my child and the household all day! If you're having a baby soon, consider this option!"

  • "So worth it!!! My husband already said it was one thing he wasn't sure on but is so sure on for baby number two!!!!"

  • "Choose Joy is special! I truly believe you and your team are the very best there is! No one else comes close."

  • "I don't know if it was my postpartum anxiety mixed with a little bit of trauma, but I get really emotional reflecting on how Choose Joy Nursing was the best investment I have ever made. I'm tearing up typing this."
