What families are saying

Her warmth, patience, and unwavering dedication have made her an exceptional caregiver. She has not only provided excellent physical care but has also nurtured my son's emotional and cognitive development. One of Colleen’s greatest strengths is her ability to support new parents. She was instrumental in helping us navigate the challenges of newborn care, sleep schedules, baby-led weaning, etc. Her knowledge and expertise were invaluable, and she always made us feel confident in our parenting decisions. I wholeheartedly recommend Colleen without hesitation, any family who gets to work with her is extremely lucky. -Lauren C.
Colleen worked with us during a particularly stressful time of our transition into parenthood, and having her company and guidance was a delight. She was very caring and wonderful with our baby, and gave us very good pointers about tummy time, baby's health issues, how to think about parenthood, and more! I strongly recommend her! - A.A.
Christine was a calming voice in the birthing room, and an advocate for me when things got hard. Postpartum she has continued to be a support person as questions have arisen.
