Nicole was one of the best investments we made as first-time parents! She made us feel much more prepared for postpartum life. Her care was really tailored to what our family needed. Before I gave birth she came over and spent the day putting together baby gear, sterilizing bottles, and preparing our home for a newborn. With her help we were able to make the perfect registry. She also curated a the best list of children’s books we will be referencing for years. :)
After I gave birth Nicole was always available to answer our questions about newborn care, soothing, sleep, baby wearing, postpartum recovery, developmental play and anything else we threw at her. We always felt comfortable asking her questions.
Beyond all of her knowledge and support, Nicole is just an incredibly kind person. Her warmth, patience, and calm presence made such a huge difference during this transition. She listened to what mattered to us and never pushed unnecessary products or opinions. We really can’t recommend her enough, especially for first-time parents.

Hiring Nicole as our overnight newborn care specialist from the time our daughter was 2 weeks old until 10 weeks old was one of the best decisions we made as a family.
As a mother of three, having Nicole’s support during those early weeks was invaluable. The newborn stage can feel overwhelming, exhausting, and isolating, and Nicole provided not only exceptional care for our baby but also reassurance and support for our entire family.
What stood out most was her incredible knowledge and ability to anticipate questions and concerns before I even voiced them. She adjusted her care based on our family’s needs and our baby’s unique challenges. Our daughter struggled with significant gas issues in the beginning, and Nicole helped establish a nightly routine that made a tremendous difference. Through her consistency, attentiveness, and expertise, our baby was sleeping long stretches by 8 weeks old and napping well during the day.
Nicole is vigilant throughout the night and helps establish healthy sleep habits and routines—something that can be incredibly difficult for sleep-deprived parents to do on their own. Knowing our daughter was in such capable hands allowed us to rest and recover.
Beyond her professional skills, Nicole is warm, compassionate, and incredibly easy to talk to. During a time when emotions are high and you’re learning how to navigate life with a new baby, she made me feel comfortable, supported, and never judged. She always reminded me that I could check on or care for my baby at any time while she was there.
Trusting someone with your newborn is one of the hardest things a parent can do, but Nicole made that trust come naturally. She truly understands mothers, babies, and families. She has become a part of our family, and I genuinely wish she could stay with us forever.
II cannot recommend Nicole highly enough.

Nicole somehow managed to be exactly what our family needed on every zoom call, phone call, and every day she walked through the door. Sometimes she was a newborn expert. Sometimes she was a postpartum care wizard. Sometimes she was a chef, organizer, friend, teacher, or simply another pair of hands. What never changed was that she made our home feel calmer, more manageable, and more hopeful. Every day with her we felt more rested and more ready!

Nicole was a wonderful support to me before and after my birth. She has so much knowledge about the post partum experience and newborns, and even has product recommendations to help ease into the newborn trenches (even comfy socks!)
She always made sure to let me know I could contact her when I needed to, even if it was just to vent or get my feelings out over the phone.
She is of course amazing with newborns and was a great resource when we were dealing with a terrible diaper rash, for example.
Nicole is knowledgeable and professional, but also approaches this work with humor and irreverence, which is really grounding during an overwhelming and emotional time.
I highly recommend Nicole!
