This was the best investment we made for our household. We needed someone who could hit the ground running without needing handholding. She took over the evening routine, including bathing and soothing, allowing us to maintain our work schedules and personal wellbeing. Our baby is on a fantastic schedule now and we owe that entirely to her work.
