Joyce came to join us to help with baby number 2 over a 5 week period. It was highly likely I wouldn't be very well after delivery and when we explained my circumstances, she took it all in her stride and offered the flexibility we needed in terms of daily approach and recommended total number of days needed each week.

I have learnt so much in these past few weeks and our daughter (actually both of them) are so relaxed as a result of Joyce taking her years of experience and applying them to our family and making a unique routine to suit us. (Something you can't get from a book). She has been an absolute pleasure to have in our home and I have alaughed a lot with her!

If I could keep her forever I would, our eldest adores her, our newborn has been so content, I have been calm and my husband has been able to travel for work knowing the family are happy at home.

We wish her well with her future families and know she will have a positive impact on families in the future.
