What Families Are Saying...

From the moment we met, Julia exuded empathy, expertise and encouragement. Julia helped our family as we welcomed our third child. She was a trusted, caring advisor as we got to know our third babe and settled into being a family of 5. Julia was an effective communicator, both in person and over text/phone. This gave us flexibility and quickly established trust, which were critical in having someone join an intimate experience for our family. She cared for ALL of us - from all things related to our new babe, to sweet nighttime run-ins with our toddlers, to extra support while partners traveled out of town. In my 3 postpartum experiences, I have found that the most impactful support comes from those who consider the full family in the wake of exciting (and sometimes daunting) change. Julia is the perfect intersection of deep newborn expertise with full-family empathy. I'm so glad we had the opportunity to work with her and highly recommend her to any and all families as they grow. —A.N.

My husband and I were pretty much terrified about adjusting to life and the sleep deprivation after the arrival of our first baby. We don't have any family nearby, so we knew that finding additional support would be key to protecting our mental health and enjoying the postpartum period. I am so glad that we decided to invest in nighttime support for the first 8 weeks of our baby's life! Working with Julia made the transition to a family of three so wonderful. While there are always challenges during the newborn stage, with Julia's support, the challenges felt manageable and we were able to focus on the joys of new parenthood. Julia is a natural with babies and I always felt safe leaving our little one with her while we got some sleep. She also helped us become more confident as parents so that by the time it was time to part ways, we felt like we were definitely ready to "take our training wheels off." —K.G.

Julia was a wonderful source of knowledge and support for us soon after our son was born. He was a colicky baby with some persistent health issues which further added to his discomfort. We were exhausted and unsure how to support him as first time parents. We sought assistance and found Julia.

She provided information and insight for soothing our son. She educated us about different approaches for infant care without judgement. She offered support and information about breastfeeding and eventually adding in solids to his diet. Julia shared recipes for increasing milk supply and improving overall health for mom. She encouraged us to be confident in our role as mom and dad and to trust our intuition when making decisions about our sons well being. Additionally, Julia became an important source of emotional support during challenging times with a new baby.

Most importantly we knew we could trust Julia to take exceptional care of our baby boy which allowed us to really take a break and relax. We will forever be greatful for her kindness, generosity, and attentive care of our whole family during a most vulnerable and special time. —J.L.

Julia-Rose was absolutely wonderful while working with our family, especially with our twin girls.  She is very nurturing and patient, and can deftly handle caring for two newborns at once - which is no small task! She was also very helpful to me with some household duties and was always a very calm and kind presence in our home. I was able to get some sleep and peace of mind at the same time, which was so helpful. We are thankful to have worked with Julia-Rose, and would highly recommend her to any family! —K.C.

Julia was absolutely incredible to work with! We were having trouble with our sleep rhythm and couldn't quite figure out why. We had so many questions and Julia answered them all. She is warm, compassionate, understanding and so supportive. Julia made us feel seen and heard and her suggested tips were EXACTLY what our baby needed to get more sleep and stay asleep. Within just a couple of days, we had a wonderful routine down and the whole family began to get sleep! We can't thank Julia enough for her help. We'll definitely be reaching out in the future if we need more sleep guidance!—H.W.

Julia is the best. She started with us when our second baby was 2 weeks old doing overnights. She is like a night fairy - she soothed my baby, got her to sleep for extended periods (so I could sleep), and helped with laundry and other quiet household tasks. My baby was very gassy in the beginning so after each feed, she needed to stay upright for over an hour. Julia was great at helping her gas with tummy rubs and slowly she got better and was able to sleep normally in the bassinet. Julia made the difference between enjoying my baby and having a good post-partum recovery versus being miserable (as I had been with my first baby). I wish Julia could be with us forever! —R.R.

Julia is one of a kind ~ she is gentle, directed, confident, knowledgable, and kind. She came into my life when I was terrified ~ I was six days post partum and post surgery, my milk was barely coming in. As a single mother in a difficult situation and without family in town to help, Julia swept in and not only becane a resource and confidant for me, but a calming presence who wasn't afraid to get into the grit of postpartum when I needed her to. 

Her knowledge of babies is also reassuring and calming. She was a resource for me on feeding, baby wearing, and sleeping, to name a few. She offered suggestions but didn't push when I wasn't ready.

I recommend her whole heartedly and hope every new mother has the good fortune of being cared for and respected in the way that I did by Julia.—M.G.

In the very vulnerable early days after my son was only a few weeks old, I first hired Julia to help me while my husband had to travel out of town. Instantly when I interviewed her, she was such a comforting presence, not just for me but for my son, who at this stage was borderline colicky and difficult to soothe. She even thoughtfully brought me healthy snacks to keep up my energy!

What I love about working with Julia is how perceptive and intuitive she is towards the baby and to my needs as well. She is full of helpful wisdom covering breastfeeding and baby's development, which was a bonus gift for me as a new mother without family around and a lot of questions. I love too that she has a natural ability to see a need without prompting and she takes care of it. She is so considerate of our home and our space, she always asks before doing anything. I appreciate that I can truly actually relax and enjoy her help when she is around! —C.D.

We miss Julia!! I found out about Julia through a mutual friend, and I'm oh so glad I did! She had a calming effect as soon as she walked in the door, and I quickly felt like we were old friends. Kind, gentle, caring, thoughtful, knowledgeable, a great listener and so sweet with our baby boy. She really was the highlight of our week. Laundry folded, fresh veggies prepped, baby bathed and an adult to converse with! She gave tips and advice when asked, and never with any judgement. She was an invaluable part of my maternity leave and we love her dearly. —K.K.

The one word I would use to describe Julia would be a SAINT. She came at a time of desperation for our family. We were 8 weeks into a newborn with no/very limited family support or knowledge. It was our first and we had no clue. We hired her and she has blown away our greatest expectations. She helped us learn how to be better parents, offering advice and support from feedings, sleep, time management, diet, etc. The support she offered my wife was immeasurable and superior to any family member/friend. She helped where it was needed and with a flexible punctual schedule. Her kind heart, nonjudgmental, warm attitude through suggestion and honest intelligent conversation have always blew me away. As time went on she has transitioned from her Dolua services to being a on demand Nanny with our Son. Our son adores her and looks forward to her visits. She provides him focused care, age appropriate play, and continued learning. We feel confident with our Son in her care. —J.L.
