We were absolutely thrilled with the care we received from Zala! From the moment she arrived, her professionalism and warmth put us at ease. She provided invaluable guidance on feeding, sleep routines, and soothing techniques that made a world of difference for our little Lucas who was born prematurely. Her extensive knowledge and gentle approach reassured us as first-time parents, making the transition into parenthood much smoother. She provided tailored care for Lucas, ensuring that he received the best care while creating a nurturing environment that allowed us to bond with our baby. My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of support and guidance during those early days with a newborn.

Zala cared for our newborn, Ruby, every night from coming home from the hospital with our daughter until she was 3 months old. I can't overstate how much of a difference she made in our enjoyment of those newborn months - such a contrast to the sleepless, stressful nights with our first baby. Zala is such a loving, patient, kind person and we trusted her completely to care for our baby. She's extremely knowledgeable and experienced, and she eased Ruby into a solid schedule and helped establish great patterns around feeding and especially sleep. She also took care of bottle & pump parts cleaning. Those foundations set up Ruby to be a great eater and to sleep through the night by 3 months! I miss our nightly short catch up conversations where we compared notes on the latest developments and challenges where Zala listened and gave wonderful advice. Zala will treat your baby with the utmost love and care, and I couldn't recommend her more highly.
