These people deceived me. They advertised their program as requiring 14 to 16 hours a week. At best…read morethat's a pure fabrication of someone's mind. At worst it's a flagrant deception. I work a full time job. My first 100 level course in an area I already know much about through prior work experience and self-study had at least half the weeks requiring 20 to 25 hours a week for 8 weeks. That's three or more hours every day of the week. My second 100-level class has required me to do 23 to 30 hours a week. Estimated effort for the week is usually half of what you actually need to do if you want an A and do 100% of assigned work. UMGC officials give ridiculous responses when confronted with the truth of real hours. "The syllabus was available a week before." So what? Without doing the assignments which you can't access until class starts, you have no way of knowing how many hours. Also, your provided estimates of effort are no way near real effort needed. Someone just dreamt these estimates up. They aren't held accountable for misrepresenting effort. I'm no novice in this discipline and it's a heavy load for me. Can't imagine what these classes do to a real newbie. Or if 100 level class can take 30 hours for one week, what will a 200 or 300 level class take? Stay away from this torture chamber.

The clinicals were challenging at first but the more you understand routine and practice the easier it gets. I was able to build amazing connections through this course fr the teacher as well.

This School is by far the best in the area. 1. Its fast…read morepaced , so it gets you done and into the industry faster without compromising the education. The instructor knew what she's taking about. So, gave real life scenarios to help you remember. 2. Front office personnel is top tier. He keeps you organized and makes sure you're prepared for upcoming events etc. 3. The owner did our CPR class , and he was so good. That I feel extremely confident in my ability to help someone in this type of incident. 4. The clinical portion is REAL, not made up scenarios. We were put in real life situations with real people. This will make you or break you and let you know if you're really cut out for this type of work. I am so glad that they did it this way. Everything you learn in the book. You will have in clinical, but in real time. So pay ATTENTION. In conclusion, I would attend this school , even if I had to travel. We literally had people who traveled everyday from another city to attend. It's worth it. If you have to get a hotel for a month. Do it ! The way they prepare you is priceless. It's worth every penny.

EDIT: This company would rather argue their justification…read morethan just make corrections. My review remains with one agreed correction: 8 night nannies were not hired, we started the process of hiring 8 that fell through at different points like dropping contact/no shows. As an SBO myself I would never provide a negative review unless absolutely warranted. I did see another review where a customer allegedly felt Faith made some between-the-lines implications for leaving a review and I see where they would think that as Faith reached out to me about this review in a very threatening manner, stating they are noting this record and it may violate Yelps content/ privacy standards and apparently has asked for its removal. Yikes! *END EDIT Absolutely avoid this business at all costs. They have you pay your entire contract upfront - which is almost unheard of. The rate is nonrefundable, even if they do not provide you services. I'm out over $2k because we cancelled our contract early after 8 no-show night nannies. 8 times their employee either didn't show up or cancelled hours before. The last night nanny that called out day of service even contacted us saying that if we get a refund, she doesn't get paid. The company lied and exaggerated issues for no shows to make it more justifiably (as seen in the text attached). The nanny called us night of the accident saying she was fine AND she was on a flight for a trip the next day. Faith called it a "near deadly accident". Disgusting business dealings. Not only are they lying, but also putting them in such a desperate situation where the nanny is forced to reach out to the customer and guilt us to not taking a refund (second pic). We've since found another company to work with and they have been amazing, reliable, and professional.

Wife and I tried to use this service to hire a night nanny. They wouldn't give us a straight answer…read moreabout whether the providers they contract with are vaccinated. Eventually they did tell us that they don't and can't confirm that. The candidates we were connected to seemed great, but the interaction with the agency left a sour taste in our mouths. We felt like we'd be given the runaround whenever we had a hard question for them, which isn't a good way to start off. Leaving this review just so people know the agency believes they can't confirm vaccination status of its providers or require that providers be vaccinated. The founder said very few people get the flu shot anymore - big red flag! Edit: Since leaving this review, the company has contacted us implying that our negative review might come to the attention of our employers. I'm curious to see their response! What an experience. Buyer beware. Edit 2: Their reply here says they never said they'd contact our employers. Here is what they said, verbatim: that we would "receive a public response from us where it's discoverable by your employer and anyone else that may want to help your family in the future." We're smart enough to read the implication.

As a first time mom, I highly recommend Shannon and her postpartum doula team. Shannon was very…read moreresponsive and made me feel comfortable throughout my birth journey, including pre and post birth at home visits. When it was time for me to delivery, she rushed over directly from another birth at a different hospital. Right away, she was great at coaching and remaining helpful and calm throughout the process. My nurses had a great time working with her. I couldn't have delivered my first baby without Shannon in the room. After we returned home, I worked with Whitney, Amanda and Jessica who are postpartum night doulas from Shannon's team. They rotated who was coming each time, and everyone was professional, punctual, and communicative. In addition to feeding and taking care of the baby, they also made sure I was healing better and gave us a lot of advice. I especially enjoyed working with Whitney and Amanda if you can get on their schedule. I'm really glad I went with NOVA Birth Services team!

I signed a contract with Nova Birth Services LLC in July of 2025. In order to secure the doula…read morebirth and postpartum overnight services, we paid a 50% deposit on both services totaling $3050. In November, I was diagnosed with severe preeclampsia and hospitalized. Due to my condition, I had to deliver my baby early via emergency c-section at just over 31 weeks. My baby is currently in the NICU. I wasn't able to have a prenatal in-home visit due to my hospitalization and was given very short notice of my emergency C-section due to my declining health. After my birth, I was put on magnesium, and my baby was sent to the NICU. My husband and I were both so terrified that the last thing I was thinking about was having my doula attend. I was afraid for me and my baby. I reached out to Shannon after my birth and asked if I could cancel the postpartum doula services because of the new financial strain of NICU costs/my hospitalization. She informed me that if I canceled the postpartum doula services, that both contracts would be void, and all services would be considered rendered. Remember, I did not receive a prenatal visit nor birth services due to my medical condition & hospitalization. The contract I signed stated that if the doula wasn't at your birth, you would be entitled to eight hours of postpartum services. Shannon explained that because I paid a 50% deposit on both services, none of the services were paid in full so I would receive nothing else moving forward. Although we had paid $3050 and the birth doula services were $2100, I would need to pay an additional $900 in order to receive the eight hours of postpartum services. She said I could "take it or leave it" and that she would not move money from one contract to another. I was shocked at her response. There was no solution offered where I could receive any services post-birth for the $3050 we had paid. More money had to be paid. This was literally the worst experience of my entire life, and I received no care or compassion at all from Shannon. She maintained that her responsibility was to her staff/business. During our phone call, I was talking about my hospitalization and she mentioned that all of her clients were hospitalized. I clarified that I wasn't hospitalized because I was giving birth. I was hospitalized due to severe preeclampsia and potential organ failure. Trying to work things out with her made a horrible situation even more stressful and terrible. She refuses to budge and maintains that we will not receive any postpartum services if we don't pay extra. My husband and I feel as though we have paid $3050 and have received nothing. We did not receive a prenatal appointment, doula birth services, or any postpartum care. Please see the last email I received from her.
