I cannot recommend Blissful Sleep enough! We have used them twice now, and their timeliness and reliability really stood out compared to other services we’ve tried. The doulas are natural at soothing and caring for babies, and they were incredibly helpful with establishing routines. Beyond just childcare, they did dishes, washed bottles and pump parts, and helped with other chores, which gave us more time for sleep.
We appreciated how flexible they were. They always adjusted to whatever we needed that specific morning—some days that meant letting the baby sleep as long as possible, and other days they had her changed and fed so she was ready for our morning rush to school/ work. If our baby didn't need anything in the morning they would brew coffee and read to the older kiddos. They go above and beyond to support the whole family.

Blissful Sleep Doulas was an incredible experience for our family. I originally thought I didn’t need a night nurse, and then a few weeks in I was running on 20 minutes of sleep and actually hallucinating. A friend recommended I reach out to Marsha, and she worked miracles to get me the help I needed, even though most people book months in advance.
Every doula who stayed with our newborn was caring, knowledgeable, and so gentle. As a first-time mom, I was very nervous about leaving my baby with anyone, but they made me feel completely safe and supported.
I truly can’t recommend Blissful Sleep enough. They were a lifesaver for us.

We are really grateful to have Marsha over for our baby girl overnight. It is overwhelming to have a premie as a FTM, but Marsha took good care of my baby girl overnight, allowing us to have some good sleep without worrying our baby girl. She is very reliable and careful, and she also provided us some good tips to help us ensure adequate bottle feed amount when having a sleepy premie.

Choosing someone to trust with your newborn is a big decision but we hit it off with Marsha right away. She is very communicative, always on time, and always offering to help out in additional ways. Having Marsha’s help with our newborn overnight allows us to keep up with our toddler during the day!
— Annie Pemberton
Marsha was a calming, reliable presence for our family during a very stressful time. She was a gift to my kids for their new baby. Our grandson ended up hospitalized with a severe infection and we needed around-the-clock coverage. Since our family was sick with Covid, Marsha stayed with him at the hospital for several nights and helped coordinate an additional doula to cover shifts. This was a huge relief. When our grandson went home, she helped the kids get settled into their new life. Marsha’s warmth and practical guidance made a difficult time feel more manageable. We are so grateful!

Marsha was great with my 3 month old daughter! She was caring and kind, always thinking of ways to help her sleep better. She was also nice to talk with and gave great advice for baby sleep habits.

We’ve had the absolute pleasure of working with Marsha and the Blissful Sleep team for both of our babies, and we can't imagine those early weeks without her support. She brought such calm, confidence, and expert care into our home, making a huge difference in our ability to rest and adjust. Her gentle and loving presence with our babies gave us total peace of mind. Truly a lifesaver—we recommend her wholeheartedly!
— Samantha Sicilian
I highly recommend Marsha’s doula services especially for twins! We needed daytime help in caring for our boys and couldn’t be more thankful for Marsha’s expertise. Not only has she taken such loving care of our babies, she also helped us with much needed baby chores so we could get some rest. Marsha also has great resources for moms/new parents and helped us get into the swing of newborn care and gain confidence as new parents.
— Catie Colliton
I cannot say enough good things about Marsha and her team! She is extremely professional, always prompt, and gave us such peace of mind in the early days as first-time parents. Our son arrived 4 weeks early and she was able to accommodate us for overnights in the schedule among multiple staff members. Marsha has over 30 years experience, and is also available by text constantly for all of those first-time parent questions, and very knowledgeable when it comes to baby gear like bottles and swaddles. If you’re a first time parent or looking for some extra sleep as you bring home a new addition, you’re in good hands!

Marsha is amazing! Blissful Sleep has helped me so much in my postpartum journey. As a new mama I had a 6 month old and I needed daytime support! Marsha walked in, and I've never looked back. She helps with baby laundry, washing bottles, unload/loading the dishwasher and anything else I need help with. It's also so nice to know that my daughter is in super good hands. It's also wonderful having someone who's been a mom who's been through it and also she's very knowledgeable on different developmental needs of babies. Will definitely be hiring her again when we have our second! If you're thinking about hiring her, don't think twice just hire Marsha and Blissful Sleep.
— Ally Dillaway
Blissful Sleep has been part of our family for 5+ years! The incredible team (led by Marsha) helped us with all 3 of our babies. They were so dependable and dedicated. They came with incredible knowledge and experience but were very open to feedback and adjusting to what we as a family wanted. I'd still trust all my babies with them and after 5+ years have stayed in touch with the team. They are like family and I hope everyone who can, gets to work with them. We're the lucky ones!
— Emily Mullins
While it was with my younger daughter and her first newborn that Marsha worked, I was there, and learned very quickly that Marsha was a highly talented and knowledgeable teacher to new moms and dads.
But she is more—she’s a loving caretaker—soothing, calming, and generous—with both the infant in her nighttime care (this was my little newborn grandson), and he’s parents (with me, too!). The mix of professionalism and love that Marsha shares is exceptional; in fact I would bet, unparalleled.
I’m grateful my now almost 4 year old grandson was often in her arms on his first nights at home, and that his mom and dad were also in her care those nights. She merits all recognition and any award imaginable. Both parents and infants alike, are fortunate to spend some of those early, long—and crucial—nights with her.

We were incredibly lucky to have Marsha care for both our daughters, and I truly don’t know how we would have gotten through those early weeks without getting solid sleep a couple nights a week. As a first-time mom, Marsha brought a sense of calm and confidence into our home. We call her the “baby whisperer”!
She answered all my questions with kindness and offered gentle advice that helped me gain confidence in motherhood. Knowing our babies were in such capable hands gave me the chance to truly rest, which was priceless.
We’re so grateful for her and can’t recommend her enough to any family in need of night support! I felt this was essential to my overall postpartum recovery and adjustment phase in those early weeks.

Marsha took exceptional care of our baby throughout the two nights we hired her for allowing us to get much-needed rest. Whether it was feeding, soothing, or diaper changes, she handled everything with warmth and attentiveness. Her gentle approach and ability to read our baby’s needs gave us so much confidence.
She arrived on time every night, communicated clearly about how things went, and made sure we felt supported.
If you’re looking for a compassionate, skilled overnight doula, I highly recommend her!
— Kassia and Josh
We could not be more grateful for Marsha's love and care as we transitioned into parenthood. She helped us all adjust and she gave us the confidence we needed to be successful well beyond the newborn period. We highly recommend Marsha to anyone considering postpartum support; she will become a part of your family that you never knew you needed!
— Jennifer
Our postpartum period was made enjoyable with Marsha’s help! She has helped us immensely with navigating parenthood and we couldn’t be more grateful. I highly recommend Blissful sleep to any parents considering postpartum support!

Discovering Blissful Sleep was a game-changer for me as a second-time mom. After struggling with months of sleep deprivation during my first postpartum experience, I wish I had met Marsha and her team sooner. They truly gave me the gift of sleep and restored my sanity during those early months.
One of the most invaluable aspects of their service was the emotional support they provided. With no family nearby, their team became like an extended family for me. The care providers assigned to us were not only highly professional but also compassionate and understanding. They essentially took care of me as much as they did my baby - they listened to my concerns, offered practical advice, and were a constant sounding board throughout our first few months.
I was impressed by their punctuality and reliability. They were always on time for appointments and their communication was clear and responsive. This professionalism instilled confidence in their services and made the entire experience stress-free.
I wholeheartedly recommend Blissful Sleep to anyone expecting a baby. Whether you're a first-time parent or navigating the challenges of newborn parenthood again, their expertise and support are invaluable. They tailor their approach to fit your family's unique needs, ensuring you feel empowered and well-supported during this transformative time.
In summary, Blissful Sleep exceeded my expectations in every way. Thanks to their guidance, my baby sleeps through the night! If you're looking for compassionate, professional, and effective sleep support, look no further than Blissful Sleep.

Marsha is a very warm, loving person to join your family during a crucial, intimate time. She made us feel at ease with all of her experience with newborns, and was very helpful giving us advice as first time parents. She really feels like a friend from the start. We kept in touch after her 3 months with us, and will be working with her again for our next baby due in a couple of months.
