Recent review

After a disastrous and daunting first night home with twins I couldn’t help but tear up when Darcy came to the door the next morning. When she arrived we didn’t know how we would make it through the day let alone another night and by the time she left we had the tools to make it through at least the next week. Darcy is such a calming and nurturing force. She somehow simultaneously helped us make a plan for nighttime, pumping and nursing, made sure I ate and took my pain medicine, got me a glass of water, played with my toddler and sent me to bed. Being a new mother is daunting enough but bringing home twins was overwhelming and knowing that I had Darcy’s guidance helped make it all manageable. She is the perfect combination of knowledge and empathy, she has no problem making herself comfortable in your home which makes you comfortable with her in your home. I really have no idea what we would have done without her and couldn’t recommend her more highly.
