“Joe came highly recommended and did a fantastic job in making our home a safe place for our baby to grow up! He was so knowledgeable and helped us pick out the best safety features for our family!”

“Rebecca is one of the most caring and also organized people I have worked with in finding childcare for my family. She is the type of person that does not know how to do things halfway —she is always 100% focused on doing the best job possible . Working with families and children can be very challenging and she does it with understanding and heart. She clearly loves helping people and doing a great job for families like mine ! Thank you Rebecca for making my life easier!”

“Through AuPairCare we found the perfect au pair for our family. AuPairCare has been with us during this entire journey, from selecting an au pair, welcoming her, and staying in touch with us to make sure everyone is happy. AuPairCare is set up to really support both the au pair and the family.”

“Our first date night in 4 years! I wouldn’t have been able to leave my kids without the assurance of a professional team who understands my child’s needs. So thankful for Balanced Babysitting.”

“King of Prussia Doulas made my pregnancy and birth experience so lovely and empowering. I truly believe every birth needs the guidance and support of a doula. The care that I received (and continued to receive the entire first year postpartum!) went above and beyond my expectations. The simplest questions I have are answered in a timely fashion and with extreme attention to detail, making me feel like my experience is personalized and important. I cannot recommend hiring KOP Doulas anything and everything birth-related enough!”

“I took Keli’s hypnobirthing course back in May 2023; the course and hypnobirthing maintenance tracks helped me so much during birth. My daughter was born Sept 19 and to give you an idea of how it worked for me, I went to bed listening to my tracks and slept through the first stages of labor. I woke up in active labor in the middle of the night and by the time I got to the birthing center I was already 9cm! I delivered my daughter about an hour after arriving at the birth center. I am so thankful to have taken the course and to have been very diligent in listening to tracks daily until birth. Hypnobirthing is the way to go. Thank you Keli!”

“Where do I start?! From the first phone call, I knew I had to have Nicole on my team to prepare for my second birth. She is confident and knowledgeable and clearly dedicated to providing exceptional support. This is demonstrated by the wealth of resources organized on the client portal and through discussions leading up to the big day. I never felt dismissed and benefited greatly from honest evidence-based answers to all of my questions. And when that day did come, she provided the calm and encouragement we needed to bring our baby into this world. She also made sure the medical team understood our preferences, which was essential to achieving our desired birthing atmosphere. I will recommend her to all expecting parents in the area. She delivered on all promises!”

– Lindsay A.

“Well Born Baby provided my husband and I with both caring support and tough love during labor with our first child. Christina helped make our son’s birth a positive experience and facilitated my ability to successfully deliver him without pain medication. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted partner to help them through a natural childbirth.”

– Nicole C.

“Allison is amazing!! After a particularly rough start to breastfeeding, Allison helped us figure it out and I now breastfeed exclusively! She took the time to assess what was going on and gave us many tips and tricks to try to help fix the issues we were having. You can tell she really cares about her clients. She is worth her weight in gold — I could not recommend enough!!”

– Nicole Z.

“I would — and have — recommended Amy to any of my friends. She has been extremely helpful in my breastfeeding journey with my son. Amy is low pressure, calm, and informative. She helped me feel relieved during stressful times when I wasn’t sure if I was doing anything correctly. She was also a great tummy time resource and we have made such good progress. Five stars, no hesitation!”

“My husband and I took multiple classes here before our first born. We felt so much more prepared when it came to childbirth and all that comes beyond that (starting solids, for example). Our son is such a good sleeper and eater, and we credit much of that to education. We then took the Newborn Basics class as a refresher before our second baby and it was so helpful to re-learn much of what we had forgotten or blacked out from the newborn stage. Highly recommend!”

– Graceann K.

“Confident Parenting is one of the best companies I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with and I recommend their services multiple times a year to other families. When I was trying to get my son ready for pre-K, we were really struggling with potty training. I reached out to Confident Parenting in desperation, and they turned what had been a difficult process into a breeze. Their services were worth every penny, based on their gentle guidance, valuable expertise, constant communication and genuine care for our family.”

– Eleanor K.

“Parents Learning Together is an excellent resource offering remote and in-person programming that is highly relevant for ALL parents. The topics are spot on and very informative. Thank you so much for finding engaging experts who are happy to share their knowledge, experiences, and advice in their respective fields. Highly recommend checking out PLT!”

“Katie Roeder was amazing! My husband and I were really struggling with our 2 year old and sleep. She made us feel like there was hope and our son was sleeping in his own bed, no tantrums, no crying and sleeping through the night in two weeks. Katie was super personable yet professional. I cannot recommend her enough!”

– Allison K.

“We had an outstanding experience with After the Stork to help us adjust to newborn life at home. I can’t recommend them enough. We had night nurses help us for six weeks and a day nurse for one week and they have not only helped with the baby, but also with all facets of postpartum life. I am so grateful for their team!”

“Dr. Brandie is amazing with her clients. She explains everything she is doing. [She is] full of knowledge and helped with pain during pregnancy. [She] helps adjust babies too. My son was very fussy, and once he started to see Dr. Brandie weekly, I noticed a positive change in him.”
