What parents say

Rachel is one of the most selfless caregivers and we are so grateful for her compassion when we needed it most. She was available at any hour! She slept over, helped bring baby to me for feedings, and helped me as a new mom ride the rollercoaster of emotions of adjusting to my new role. Since, she has been a constant support as we brought home our second who was a preemie. She also helped with laundry and other light housework. We would’ve been lost without her help during that first few weeks.

— Lauren C.

Rachel was an invaluable part of my postpartum period. Those late nights with a newborn can be daunting and it was overwhelming at times, but Rachel was incredibly helpful! Her knowledge and expertise put me at ease, and she was a natural with my baby. I was able to sleep soundly knowing she was in good hands.

— Rachel G.
