Words cannot not express how thankful I am for Mrs Nicole's help after I had my son! She came to my house 4 times weekly and covered the night shift for me and my husband up until our son was 15 months old. the relief we had with knowing that our first child was being cared for AND we got to get rest to go to work and take care of our son during the day was and is truly priceless! Mrs Nicole helped with diaper changes, feedings and even ran a few loads of the babies clothes while we were sleeping. When our son turned 14 months, he was sleeping through the night so no longer needed her but truly are still grateful we reached out and got the help we needed and wanted. She was open to what we wanted as parents and even offered suggestions that helped us transition into a new world of parenthood. Thank you Mrs Nicole!
— Destynei S., review of Nicole Rice
Nicole was such a wonderful help during the night feedings and with light kitchen and laundry tasks. Her support allowed me to get the rest I needed, which made such a difference. She was kind, caring, and reassuring, and she made me feel truly supported during a time when I needed it most. I’m so grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend Nicole to any mom looking for dependable, compassionate support.
— Reka T., review of Nicole Rice
We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Barbara! From the moment she joined our family, she was such a calming, reassuring presence during those early newborn months. She would quietly come in and immediately find ways to help, often taking care of things around the house without us even having to ask. She is incredibly thoughtful, flexible, dependable, and truly goes above and beyond in everything she does. Most importantly, she was absolutely wonderful with our baby. Her warmth, patience, and genuine love for what she does were evident from day one. With her guidance and support, our daughter was sleeping through the night by just 2.5 months old! Barbara made such a difference in helping us navigate those early weeks and feel confident as parents. What started as a professional relationship quickly turned into a friendship, and we genuinely looked forward to seeing her each week. We were so sad when the time came to say goodbye, but so grateful to have had her as part of our family. We have been recommending her to everyone we know and would hire her again in a heartbeat. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have Barbara caring for their little one!
