We were so lucky to work with Carissa for 6 months during our daughter’s infancy (Dec 2021 - May 2022). Carissa provided infant care for our daughter, including support with feeding, daytime sleep, diapering, and time outside. She also provided extensive support through healthy and nourishing meal preparation - both for myself and my partner during our extended postpartum period, as well as for our daughter when she transitioned to incorporating solid foods. In addition, Carissa kept our household calm, functioning, and well-managed by providing light housekeeping and support (e.g., dishes, infant laundry). Carissa is warm and kind in all that she does - we always welcomed and felt comfortable with her in our home. And our (challenging and very particular!) daughter loved her from day one - they shared a close and special bond until our move out of state. For folks preparing for or in the midst of a postpartum experience, do yourself a favor and hire Carissa! She made our transitional time into parents so much brighter and better cared for.
