Athena worked for us 2 years ago I saw her profile and I had to leave a review. This review is to serve as the highest recommendation possible for Athena. My husband and I initially met her at prenatal yoga baby class, where she came to educate several families on the basics of newborn care. I was so impressed with her tremendous knowledge of infants, their development and care, and sleep training. Her kind, gentle manner and professional expert advice for the new parents were invaluable. I knew I just had to hire her! She had a full schedule but still made room for our family. She immediately came to our rescue and helped put our baby on a schedule with feedings and naps. It was amazing how our son responded. She also taught us swaddling, bathing, diaper changing, feeding and everything in between. Athena’s knowledge and help was crucial and she has certainly impacted not only our lives, but that of our baby’s as well. When it was time for her to leave, we felt confident to care for our little bundle of joy. My only advice: call her asap as she books out way ahead of time!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Athena and the care and love she showed my son. Her extensive experience is obvious in both her wealth of knowledgeable and intuition. She offers cohesive explanations behind her methodology and tailors it based on her keen observations and your baby’s specific needs. She was equally as compassionate with my husband and me as first time parents. She patiently guided us from the moment we signed on with her. She took great care through my pregnancy to check in, offer registry suggestions and answer any questions we had. She walked us through the bleary first nights as new parents and coached us so we felt confident quickly. I can’t think of anyone better to have by your side as you transition to parenthood and will forever be grateful for the time we spent together.

We were so grateful to have Athena. She was so warm and loving with our baby girl and did an amazing job getting her on a schedule. Our baby is not even 3 months and is sleeping 12 hours a night! Athena was so helpful to us as first time parents, is always available to answer questions, and goes above and beyond to make parents feel supported and babies feel safe. We would recommend her to ANY parents - she was a gift!

Athena has been an incredible guide as a first time mom. She helped us get our son on a schedule, helped us to get a tracker set up for his feeds, sleep, baths, etc, set up our camera and baby monitor, and helped to show us how to prepare our baby for the best nights sleep with a nice bath and massage. Athena is professional, her presentation is absolutely beautiful and she created the most calming environment in our baby’s nursery while he sleeps. I am forever grateful to her!

We are so grateful for Athena! My husband and I hired her early in my pregnancy and we couldn’t imagine newborn life without her. I ended up having an emergency cesarean delivery and as first time parents, we felt overwhelmed. Athena was waiting for us when we arrived home from the hospital and we were put at ease immediately. Her presence allowed me to heal post surgery and rest in the evenings and overnight. Athena’s experience provided us with the guidance and knowledge we needed in order to care for our newborn. Athena also sleep trained our daughter who now sleeps 12 hours a night. Thank you for everything, Athena!

Athena came into our lives a few weeks after our son Cooper was born, right when we really needed help getting him on a sleep schedule. She went far beyond that, though, and helped me so much as a first-time mom. Athena is super professional and truly amazing at what she does. After just a couple of months working with her, our son was sleeping through the night and still sleeps perfectly for 12 hours even now at 8 months old. I've recommended her to all my friends, and they've all loved her too! Can't thank her enough for everything she's done for our family.

We love Athena !! She was such an angel and helped us so much with my newborn son, Oliver. Athena knew exactly how to put my son on a schedule and care for him through the night. At the three month mark, he was trained to sleep 12 hours at night. She taught me all the things I didn’t know as a first time mom and was a guiding light. We are so grateful for Athena.

I am so glad I booked the night nurse right as my baby was a newborn because my baby was able to sleep through the night early on, Athena was lovely she took the time to teach me and my husband the proper way to care for our baby through the night and develop a great nightly routine.
