Ratings and reviews
Makita is very professional caregiver for new borns and babies. She had been a great help for my family when my baby was 4 month old. She is proactive, patient and knowledgable in her field, and even identified early signs of torticollis in my baby. She was the only one that I could trust with my baby alone. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs professional and reliable care support.

Makita was a great help whenever I needed anything she was there to help, even when I didn’t ask her I know there was a lot of people around me but Makita made sure I was good. She was holding my hands and telling me how great I was doing even though I was kinda nervous she made sure I wasn’t, and after giving birth I remember always calling her for ANYTHING and taking pictures and videos and just sending her, any time of day she will answer and help me and when she was at work she made sure she text me to let me know she was work but she will get back to me which she did because that’s how amazing she was.

Makita helped me so much throughout my pregnancy. I had weekly one on one zoom classes/meetings/sessions with Makita. We talked about ways to stay relaxed, pain management tips, mindfulness, and so much more. Before meeting with Makita, I wasn't really sure I needed this kind of support during my pregnancy and birth. But, looking back, I can't imagine not having her guidance. She was always there if I had a question or needed support and just knowing that left me feeling so much more confident in my journey. My son just turned one and I still think of Makita often and I'm so grateful that I had the opportunity to work with her.
