Laura helped us take care of our baby for the first 6-16 weeks of his life. She took such great care of him and helped us develop healthy sleep habits for him early on, as well as diagnose issues and troubleshoot regressions as they came up (and there are a lot of them in that first year!). She was also so easy to work with, and very understanding of how difficult these early weeks can be on the parents. I would give Laura ten stars on here if I could!

Laura is an amazing newborn care specialist! We hired her for 8 weeks to help us with our newborn baby and she did a great job taking care of our son. Our baby can be very fussy at times but she knew how to calm him down and make him happy. What can I say? She really is Mary Poppins! She’s also very professional, always punctual, and very friendly and accommodating. Laura goes above and beyond to make baby and parents happy. The peace of mind she provides is so worth it. Highly recommend.
