Having a premature baby came with so many worries and sleepless nights. Vennessa was a calming presence from the moment she walked through our door. She treated our little girl with so much tenderness and care, and she always seemed to know exactly what she needed. Beyond helping with the baby, she gave us reassurance and confidence during a time when we really needed it. We are so thankful for her support and would gladly welcome her back into our home.

We honestly don't know how we would have gotten through those first few weeks without Vennessa. She stepped into our home with such a calm, caring presence and immediately put us at ease. Not only was she wonderful with our baby, but she was also incredibly supportive of us as parents. She offered guidance when we needed it, reassurance when we were tired, and always treated our family with kindness and respect. The care she provides comes from the heart, and it shows in everything she does. We are so thankful for her and would gladly recommend her to any family welcoming a new baby.

Vennessa was such a blessing during our newborn stage. She was caring, patient, and always made us feel supported. She helped us navigate feeding challenges, answered all of our questions, and gave us the confidence we needed as new parents. She cared for our baby with so much love and attention, which allowed us to get the rest and reassurance we desperately needed. We are so grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to any family welcoming a new baby.

Vennessa is so sweet,our baby boy was a colicy baby and had problems feeding and this also added his sleep regression, We hired Vennessa suddenly and she came in right on time to do exactly what we wanted,his sleep regulated and his colic was ended by her tips and tricks,we dont know what we would have done without her,and we also a referred her for our office staff and she did an amazing job.

She’s the best in the business if you ask me. I’ve never met anyone so thoughtful and gentle handling my newborn. All the advice I’ve received from Vennessa have been so helpful and I especially love how encouraging and supportive she is.

Over the past three months, having Vennessa in our home has truly made a difference in our transition to life with a newborn. From night one, she came in quietly, got familiar with our baby’s cues, and just handled things. There were nights when our baby was extra fussy or cluster feeding, and instead of us feeling overwhelmed, Vennessa would calmly step in, settle the baby, and even show us small techniques that actually worked. One thing I really appreciated was how she helped us adjust our nighttime routine within a couple of weeks, our baby was sleeping in longer, more consistent stretches. She also paid attention to the little things. If something seemed off, whether it was feeding patterns, gas discomfort, or even my own exhaustion, she would gently bring it up and offer suggestions without ever being pushy. It never felt like she was just “doing a job.” She was invested. What stood out most was the peace of mind she gave us. Being able to actually rest at night, knowing our baby was in capable and caring hands, is something I can’t put a price on. By the end of the three months, we felt more confident as parents because of her guidance. Vennessa is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. If you’re considering newborn support, I can honestly say she’s the kind of person you hope to find.

We brought Vennessa from Gentle Hands Maternal And Newborn Care Services into our home during one of the most vulnerable and life-changing times, and I can honestly say she exceeded every expectation. From the very first night, Vennessa brought a calm, confident, and nurturing presence that immediately put us at ease. Her knowledge as a Newborn Care Specialist is exceptional. She didn’t just “watch the baby,” she educated, guided, and truly supported our entire family. Whether it was helping establish a gentle sleep routine, offering feeding guidance, or simply knowing exactly how to soothe our baby, she handled everything with professionalism and genuine care. What truly sets Vennessa apart is her intuition and attention to detail. She anticipated our baby’s needs before we even realized them and always took the time to explain what she was doing and why. That level of transparency and education made us feel empowered as new parents, not just supported. She is also incredibly respectful of your home, your parenting style, and your space. Every morning we woke up feeling rested, confident, and reassured that our baby was in the best possible hands overnight. If you are looking for someone who is not only highly skilled but also compassionate, trustworthy, and deeply dedicated to her work, Vennessa is the one. Gentle Hands Maternal And Newborn Care Services is truly a luxury-level experience, and I would recommend her without hesitation to any family wanting the absolute best care for their newborn. Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made postpartum.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Vennessa after bringing my baby boy home, and it was truly a blessing. From the start, she brought a calm, reassuring presence into our home. She was patient, knowledgeable, and never made me feel overwhelmed. She helped me understand my baby’s needs, supported me through recovery, and made sure I got much-needed rest. My baby was always well cared for, calm, and comfortable with her. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does. I highly recommend Vennessa to any new mom looking for real support, guidance, and peace of mind.

I needed a little help during postpartum with my baby and stumbled upon Vennessa’s ad from the initial communication I was drawn. I hired her right away I didn’t even try other options. She was amazing with my babe!!!! I would 100% recommend
- Chantal S.
I needed help coming out the hospital right after having my new born because I ended up having a spinal tap procedure which was very painful and it also limited my mobility so I was definitely in need of some help and Vennessa was Heaven sent. She helped cared for me and my baby until I was able to get back on my feet, I won’t go into full details but just to make it short and sweet she’s the most gentle and kind hearted person Ive ever met and if I have another child I definitely will be giving her a call. You won’t regret using her.
