We had Dorothy for the welcome home package, two nights a week and one day and it was very positive. I was recovering from a c section and having her at home for two nights when we got home from the hospital was invaluable.

It is quite an intimate time as new parents to have essentially a stranger in the house but it really didn’t feel that way with Dorothy, she is very respectful of your space and home. I believe she could get on with just about anyone. She is very supportive of how you want to do things and can steer you in the right direction. Top notch at handling me crying - completely understanding and sympathetic. She takes instructions well and is very clean and tidy.

Review from baby - well the little one was certainly very happy! My daughter was always very content whilst being looked after by Dorothy and even the following day. Dorothy will log all of the babies events and let you have a run down of how she was and give you suggestions. She will really miss her.

My baby is almost 8 weeks old, she sleeps all night just wakes for one feed and then straight back to sleep. So if you’re in a position to use Dorothy you should!
