Client Testimonials

Wendy T.

We love Deyanira! She has been amazing and truly God sent!

We don't have family local to us but she has become an honorary sister and auntie lol

I'm 100% sure my labor was better than expected because she was there. Our tools and experience (this was our second baby) could only get us so far. She was ready with suggestions and positions to help me push past my own limitations. After this labor I felt empowered, confident, encouraged and a little bit shocked at the fact at this time around my body was able to endure labor. I felt like a super hero. A tired one lol but superhero none the less.

During labor She was cool, calm and collected. She does all things with care, love, sincerity and peace. I cannot recommend her enough. She also has served post partum for us and what a blessing she has been. I was exhausted the first morning she came and she jumped right on it. She was kind and gracious to my toddler who also wanted some attention, and she was supportive with our newborn while also taking care of me. She took care of some much needed laundry, she fed me, changed our newborn, played with our toddler and did all that so that I could eat and take a much needed nap. I shared my needs with her prior to delivery and she has remembered all. I can keep going on and on, she's amazing!!!! If we go for a third I really want her with us!
