Testimonials
Support from De'Ann and help with our twin boys was the only way we made it through the newborn period! De'Ann was always like a ninja quietly working through the night, allowing my husband and I to get a full night sleep despite the nursery being right next to our bedroom...

Working with De'Ann was the best thing I could have done for myself and family! As a first time mom, I had NO idea what I was doing. She came in and showed me and my husband the basics of newborn care. And not only that, she supported me through my emotional and mental struggles...

De'Ann was a godsend! I'd been following her on social media throughout my pregnancy and love her videos. But having her support me in person was everything my husband and I needed for our fourth trimester. She has such a bubbly and calm spirit which immediately put me at ease...
