Brigette supported our family as a postpartum doula for around 4 months and I don’t know how we would have managed without her! She is so loving and kind. She offered advice both on how to take care of our newborn and my recovery from giving birth that was very helpful. I wish we could have Brigette watch over our little girl every night! I slept soundly knowing our baby was safe and loved.

Brigette was our night nanny for four months and she took amazing care of our 0-4 month old daughter the entire time. We felt 100% secure with her being in charge at night and we literally could not have been happier with her professionalism and caring attitude toward our baby. I cannot recommend Brigette any higher and I consider ourselves very lucky to have been able to have her as our night nanny.

Brigette helped us out for almost two years starting when our daughter was a few months old, and there aren't enough words to be able to praise her properly. She was able to get our baby to sleep in every situation, even as we had regressions and changing schedules. She always fed, cleaned, and played with the baby with expert care. Any request for trying new care techniques was met with a yes and a supportive smile. She also was able to impart her knowledge to us with countless advice and recommendations. If you are looking for someone excellent and well above the standard, the Brigette the best choice.
