Peaches was an amazing night nurse! She cared so well for our sweet girl while we could get some sleep. As first time parents, we had so many questions and she was always available whether at our home or cell between nights to answer them and keep our mind at ease. She made us feel comfortable to ask anything and we learned a lot from her. The first few weeks with a newborn are tough and we are so grateful to Peaches for helping us. She is very educated and genuinely passionate about her job, she even had our baby sleeping through the night at 3 months. You would be very lucky to have Peaches caring for your baby!

If you’re on the fence about hiring a night nurse or unsure about trusting someone other than yourself overnight with your newborn, this character letter for Sharteesica English ( Peaches ) is a must read. As a second-time mom, I already experienced more than enough disturbed evenings :) so this time around I knew getting a good night sleep to be present, both for my newborn baby and my energetic toddler, was a priority. However, as you can imagine, leaving my days-old baby with a complete stranger, while I slept, worried me enough to keep me awake! I was provided Peaches information from a trusted contact, who had personally used her night nannying services with both of her babies. Knowing Peaches already had a sterling reputation with another mother in my social circle was hugely comforting. Peaches and I discussed working together three nights a week. Then, the unexpected happened when my newborn ended up spending 10 days in the NICU, first for a slight infection, then for suspected reflux/apnea episodes. After I brought him home, my sleeping baby anxiety went from high to extreme. I felt the need to have eyes on him all the time. Peaches stepped in SEVEN nights a week! Truly, Peaches has been heaven-sent for my newborn and my family. I’m able to get a good nights sleep with the peace of mind knowing my baby is in extremely capable hands. Peaches spent 25+ years as a nurse, is CPR certified, which is an added bonus considering my newborn has a history of paused breathing, and is generally a fountain of knowledge. Peaches is personable, patient and will make recommendations in everyone’s best interest. I cannot recommend Peaches enough. Peaches started out as a stranger, but quickly became a vital member of my post-partum support system.
