Re: Diane Sirpenski/Newborn Care Specialist To Whom It May Concern: I am writing in regard to Diane Sirpenski, whom I have known and hired as my newborn care specialist for all three of my kids. I believe Diane is the best and always my FIRST choice for the above cited position. I have known Diane since November 2017, when I first hired her as the newborn care specialist for my first-born son who is now 2.5 years old. Her position with us lasted about 12 weeks wherein she provided nighttime care for our then 2-month-old son. She would show up promptly at 10:00 pm, (NEVER TARDY!), always easing my nerves being that I was a first-time mom. Diane always answered all my first-time mom questions and always had super helpful tips handy. She was very up to date with the latest trends and knowledge regarding baby care so I knew I could trust her advice. She took detailed care notes throughout the night regarding feedings, diaper changes, and sleep periods. When I got pregnant with my twin girls in February 2019 Diane was the only choice for me. I reached out to her immediately to securely lock in her help! She got me through my first few months with my first born with so much ease, I knew I needed her around for my biggest challenge yet. Throughout my pregnancy, Diane often reached out to me to check in and chat. She sent me twin tips and intel she gathered from all her vast experience. She was of course up to date on all the must haves to alleviate the first few months with newborns. Even though I had a relationship with Diane from my prior pregnancy this certainly helped establish and further our relationship. This was important since she would be spending a lot time with us once the babies arrived. Diane showed up on our first night home with the twins at the end of September 2019 and immediately dove into the task and challenges of a nighttime routine with not one newborn but two! She showed skill, expertise and most importantly compassion towards the girls and the position. She quickly became part of our family and we loved having her around. She showed the same professionalism as she did when we met her the first time around- always punctual and reliable. Her hygiene paralleled that of a nurse, which of course is a top priority. I had restful nights knowing the girls were in great care. Newborn twins are as tough as it gets- and she made it look easy. The girls started sleeping through the night at 6 months old and never wake each other up. We have Diane to thank for helping us get through it. In summary, I would highly recommend Diane as the BEST choice for any newborn care specialist position and strongly encourage any family to jump at the opportunity in hiring her. Please free to contact me should you have any specific questions regarding Diane’s qualifications. I would be more than happy to further discuss her outstanding qualifications.

Diane was an absolute lifesaver for our family. We have a 3 year old and when it came time to have our second, we knew we wanted to have help at night so that we could be more alert for our toddler during the day. Although I am a second time mom, the second time around was a completely different experience from our first born. Diane helped me overcome my second guessing. With her experiences, she could really speak to what most babies are able to do by the age/weight that he was at the time and slowly but surely by the time she left- he was sleeping through the night. She was with us overnight for 3.5 months. She is always prompt and takes fantastic notes at night so you know exactly what happened over night. Additionally, as she had capacity, she made herself available to us earlier than contracted as I gave birth 3 weeks early. I also briefly ended up back in the hospital a week later and she checked up on me during that time, which I appreciated very much. Through her network, she was also invaluable in helping us find a day nanny for when it came time for me to go back to work as there was a long waitlist at our daycare for the infant room. Diane is nurturing, warm and you can tell she truly loves her job and loves to take care of babies and they love her right back. She was also a great sounding board for me whenever I needed. We went with Diane over other agencies in the area because her approach to overnight care aligned more closely with ours. Any family would be lucky to have her and she will truly be missed in our house!

Diane's unwavering dedication to our family's well-being made a profound difference during those early weeks, and we are forever grateful for her invaluable support. In summary, Diane Sirpenski is an absolute gem, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to any family seeking compassionate, knowledgeable, and reliable night nursing and newborn care.
